Why UV Protection Matters in Sherman Oaks
With near-constant sunshine, Sherman Oaks drivers face daily exposure to damaging UV rays. Even in mild temperatures, UV radiation penetrates untreated windows, causing long-term damage to:
- Dashboards
- Leather seats
- Trim and plastics
- Carpet and stitching
- Skin and eyes of you and your passengers
Window tint isn’t just about heat—it’s a shield against invisible damage.
How UV Rays Damage Your Car Interior
UV rays are silent destroyers. Over time, they can:
- Crack and warp dashboards
- Dry out leather, causing splits and color fade
- Bleach cloth upholstery, weakening fibers
- Discolor plastics and trim
- Accelerate aging of window seals and stitching
In Southern California, this process is much faster due to intense year-round sun.
What Makes UV Protection Tint Different
Professional window films designed for UV protection use advanced technology to block:
- 99% of UVA and UVB rays (the most harmful wavelengths)
- Infrared radiation (IR) to reduce interior heat buildup
- Glare from direct sunlight and reflective surfaces
At Merit Tint, all our window tints come with UV-blocking properties, but some are engineered specifically for maximum protection.

Benefits Beyond Interior Protection
While interior preservation is key, UV window tint also gives you:
👨⚕️ Skin Protection
Reduce the risk of sun-related skin damage during daily commutes or long road trips.
😎 Glare Reduction
Drive more comfortably, especially during sunrise/sunset or along sun-soaked stretches of Ventura Blvd.
🌬️ Cooler Cabin Temperatures
While UV isn’t heat, many UV-blocking films also offer excellent infrared heat rejection, improving A/C efficiency and comfort.

Avoid the cost of reupholstering faded seats or replacing cracked dash panels.

FAQs About UV Window Tint
1. Does clear film offer UV protection?
Yes! Films like 3M Crystalline offer nearly invisible protection while blocking 99%+ UV rays.

3. Is UV film legal in California?
Absolutely. All our films meet California’s VLT requirements for front and rear windows.
4. Does UV protection fade over time?
No. Our films are built to last and include lifetime warranties for UV rejection performance.
5. Will UV tint change the look of my car?
Only if you want it to. You can choose clear, light, or dark options to match your style while protecting your interior.
