Overview
KAVACA nano-ceramic film. Lifetime warranty.
Most people buy tint for looks and privacy, then discover the heat rejection is the part they actually care about. That distinction is where film quality shows. Cheap dyed film darkens glass and does very little else — it fades, turns purple, and bubbles within a few years. Metallic film rejects heat but interferes with GPS, Bluetooth and cell signal. Nano-ceramic film does the job without either compromise.
KAVACA Ceramic IR is Ceramic Pro's flagship window film. It uses a proprietary nano-ceramic and infrared-blocking formulation that blocks up to 96% of the infrared heat you actually feel, filters over 99% of UV radiation, and contains no metal — so radio, GPS and Bluetooth work exactly as they should. Because heat rejection comes from the ceramic particles rather than the darkness, you can run a light shade and still get the cooling benefit.
The UV number is worth pausing on. Rated at SPF 500, KAVACA IR blocks the radiation that causes skin damage and cracks and fades your dashboard, seats and door cards. On the driver's side in particular — the side that takes years of one-directional sun — this is a health and interior-preservation product as much as a comfort one.
Washington sets legal limits on how dark front-side windows can be, and those limits exist for visibility and enforcement reasons. We install to the legal standard and will tell you exactly what is permitted before you book — a ticket and a strip-and-redo costs more than doing it right.

This combination meets RCW 46.37.430 for street use. Factory glass already cuts some light before any film goes on, so we measure your actual glass and fit to the number you want.

What clients say
Super friendly, great work, best price. Offered very clear instructions on what they would proceed, options, even suggested a less expensive option for me. Honest, friendly, professional. And my car looks amazing!
I had tried for months to remove 10+ bumper stickers from the back of my car to no avail. They went the extra mile and the back of my car is now completely free of all stickers and residue. Fantastic customer service.
They did an amazing job and went above and beyond to work on my car right around the holidays. They took extra steps to work with my schedule which I deeply appreciated. I definitely recommend Albrecht!
FAQ
Questions, answered
Washington regulates how much light must pass through front side windows and windshields, and the rules differ by window position and vehicle type. We install to the legal standard and will confirm exactly what is permitted for your vehicle before you book. Medical exemptions exist and require documentation. Getting this wrong means a ticket plus the cost of stripping and redoing the work.
