Cactus Tint owner Rick Sullivan and his staff of professional installers work with two of the world’s finest window film manufacturers, 3M and Suntek, whose superior products significantly reduce heat and UV rays while retaining color stability over long periods of solar exposure.

The 3M Crystalline Automotive Window Film is a multilayer film combining more than 200 layers thinner than a Post-it® Note. While allowing 90% of light into your vehicle, these films reject up to 97% of heat-producing infrared light and block as much as 60% of the heat entering through your windows.

The 3M/Color Stable film incorporates nano-carbon polyester, significantly reducing heat and blocking 99% of UV rays up to SPF1000 to protect both your skin and your car’s interior colors. Both products are life-time warrantied and do not interfere with cell phone, radio and satellite signals.

From Suntek, the Suntek/HP offers excellent heat rejection and glare reduction and a charcoal shade to enhance your vehicle’s appearance. The premium Suntek/CXP is nano-hybrid carbon technology for superior heat, infrared, and UV rejection, with no interference to cell phones, radios or navigation systems. Both HP and CXP carry lifetime Suntek warranties.

Rick’s Scottsdale window tint showroom features oversize display boards, which allow you to see exactly what film and colors are available. He even has a heat lamp set up, so you can feel the difference in the products as well. Stop by Cactus Tint and experience the difference premium film makes — in coolness, comfort and protection.

Window film is a sheet of coating that, with proper installation by Cactus Tint, can deliver energy savings similar to that offered by premium replacement windows — but without the expense of replacement. On existing home windows, including dual pane and low e, the process is usually complete in no more than two days, with immediate improvements in comfort, efficiency and glare reduction.

A wide range of protective film is available. These include anti-graffiti, nonreflective, decorative, dual-reflective and ceramic. Choose, too, from many shades, almost clear to dark. And, because window film is considered carbon negative, some products qualify for sustainable home credits and energy rebates.

Why pay for the custom cost of manufacturing and delivering new windows, when you can prolong the life of your structurally well-performing windows with film from one of Scottsdale’s leading window film installers, saving you money and without sacrificing environmental concern?

Cactus Tint’s preferred provider, Shadow Tinting, offers commercial film that blocks 98 percent of damaging ultraviolet light and as much as 82 percent of uncomfortable solar heat.

In the event of impacts such as high winds, blasts or break-ins, high-tensile polyester with scratch-resistant coatings help hold window shards in place; these layers combine with ultraviolet inhibitors to protect merchandise and valuables against fading. And, the manufacturer assumes all pre-existing warranties on installation.
