Home/Carbon window tint

Carbon tint that holds its color

Deep matte black with real heat rejection, backed for life. The smart price on film that lasts.

What carbon film is

Real film, not cheap dye

Carbon IR by Union Window Films uses carbon particles instead of dye. It rejects heat and it never fades purple.

Dyed film breaks down under UV and goes purple within a few years. Carbon holds its color and its performance.

The film is non-metallic, so phone, GPS and toll tag are unaffected. Bubbling, peeling and fading are covered for life.

Jordan installs every car at the Five Forks shop. Most are finished the same day in 2 to 4 hours.

One set of hands on every car, from the quote to the last edge.

Dyed vs carbon vs ceramic

How does it compare

Plenty of cheap tint jobs use dyed film. It looks fine on day one and fails on year three. We do not install it.

What is carbon window tint?
Carbon window tint uses carbon particles in the film to block heat and UV. Unlike dyed film it has no dye to break down, so it does not fade or turn purple and it holds its performance for years. We install Carbon IR by Union Window Films.
Carbon or ceramic, which should I get?
Ceramic IR rejects more infrared heat at the same shade, so it is the pick if the car sits outside all summer. Carbon gets you the look, the UV block and the same lifetime warranty for less: $250 to $300 for a full car against $370 to $420 in ceramic.
Does carbon tint interfere with electronics?
No. Carbon IR by Union Window Films is non-metallic, so cell signal, GPS, radar detectors and toll transponders are unaffected.
How long does carbon tint last?
Carbon film is color-stable and holds up for years. Every install carries a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and fading. If the film fails we fix or replace it at no charge for as long as you own the car.
How dark can I go in South Carolina?
South Carolina requires front side windows to let at least 27% of light through on every vehicle. Sedans also need 27% or lighter on the rear side windows and the back glass. On SUVs, vans and trucks the glass behind the driver can be any darkness. Windshield film is allowed only above the AS-1 line. We install what is legal for your vehicle.
How long does it take and do I need a deposit?
Most full cars take 2 to 4 hours and are finished the same day. Front two windows take about an hour. A $40 deposit holds the appointment and comes off the total. It is drop-off only at the Five Forks shop, Mon to Sat, 8am to 6pm.
