When a customer brought in their almost brand-new Mazda CX‑5, with just 13 km on the odometer, for a full ceramic tint in the heat of a Melbourne summer, we knew what they valued most: protection, comfort, and style. Our team at House of Tint applied a premium ceramic film designed to significantly reduce cabin heat, glare, and UV exposure while elevating the vehicle’s aesthetics and privacy.
Natural sunlight and Melbourne’s intense UV can wreak havoc on a vehicle’s interior, even with factory privacy glass. In fact, as Mazda owners often discover, factory-grade tinted glass may offer limited UV or heat rejection (typically 15–26% visible light transmission), serving more for appearance than performance. That reality is why upgrading to nano-ceramic tint makes such a difference.
Ceramic films are made using microscopic ceramic particles that block up to 99% of harmful UV rays and deliver powerful infrared heat rejection, often preventing up to 80% of infrared energy from heating your cabin. Unlike dyed or metallic films, ceramic tints don’t interfere with GPS, Bluetooth, or mobile signals and retain optical clarity for years.
During installation, we ensure every panel is precision-cut to match the CX‑5’s exact glass dimensions, minimizing edge bubbles and maximizing adhesion. The result is seamless, no distortion, no signal interference, and a clean, refined look that enhances both the car’s form and function.
Once installed, the difference is noticeable. Ceramic tint keeps the cabin cooler on hot days, easing the load on air conditioning and reducing fuel use. Drivers experience less glare and more comfort, making daily commutes or road trips more enjoyable. And perhaps most importantly, ceramic film preserves your interior. Repeated UV and infrared exposure fade upholstery, crack plastics, and degrade dashboards, but a quality ceramic film acts as a protective shield.
When a car is brand new, as with this CX‑5, investing in a comprehensive ceramic tint package is a smart move, protecting your interior investment from day one while enhancing driver comfort. At House of Tint, we back our installs with warranty and professional craftsmanship, ensuring every tint is applied with care and precision.
