X-press Window Tinting Window Film Provides Complete Skin Protection

Unless specially coated, glass offers no protection for UVA rays, which cause both aging and skin cancer.

To protect yourself, your children and even your pets, you need protection from UVA and UVB rays.
X-press Window Tinting window film offers a one-time application that that offers affordable and safe protection. In addition, window film blocks 99% of both UVA and UVB year round.
