High-quality heat insulation films not only effectively block ultraviolet rays and infrared heat, but also can maintain the stable and comfortable interior temperature during hot summers and cold winters. T-House, as the official XPEL window tint installer in New York City, provides professional-level heat insulation and privacy solutions for Tesla and luxury car owners. From membrane selection, construction to warranty, the entire process follows XPEL's original factory standards. Ensuring precise fitting, no bubbles, and no signal interference at every corner.



What Is XPEL Window Tint?


XPEL Window Tint

In the automotive window tinting industry, XPEL Window Tint is regarded as the preferred heat insulation solution for high-end vehicles due to its advanced nano-ceramic technology and high-standard manufacturing processes. This type of tint achieves efficient filtration of infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) rays through nano-ceramic particle technology. It not only reduces the interior temperature but also effectively prevents skin aging and interior color fading.

Unlike traditional tinted films, XPEL window films do not contain a metal layer, so they do not interfere with GPS, Bluetooth or 5G signals. At the same time, its high-definition design ensures that drivers still have good visibility during the night and in rainy conditions. Moreover, XPEL offers multiple series to meet different needs:

  • PRIME XR PLUS: Offers top-notch heat insulation performance, blocking up to 98% of infrared heat;

  • PRIME XR: A balanced and cost-effective ceramic solution;

  • PRIME HP / CS: Suitable for users with limited budgets but who still desire basic protection.

For Tesla and luxury car owners who drive in the intense sunlight and highly congested traffic environment of New York, choosing an official XPEL installation center (such as T-House) not only means a better insulation experience, but also represents dual guarantees of construction and warranty.



Why Choose XPEL Window Tint?


Choosing the right window tint not only affects appearance but also directly influences the driving experience and the comfort inside the vehicle. As a leading global brand of high-end car tints, XPEL Window Tint has become the top choice for car owners in New York due to its excellent heat insulation, durability and optical performance.


First of all, the heat insulation performance far exceeds the industry standards.

The XPEL PRIME XR PLUS series can block up to 98% of infrared heat (IR Rejection), effectively reducing the temperature inside the vehicle. Even in the hot summer of New York, the interior of the vehicle remains cool.


Secondly, the UV protection is even stronger.

The XPEL window film can filter out 99% of UV rays. It not only prevents the dashboard and leather seats from fading and cracking, but also reduces the risk of skin aging caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.


Third, signal compatibility without interference.

Unlike metal films, XPEL uses pure ceramic technology and does not interfere with GPS, Bluetooth, mobile phones or Tesla's sensing signals, ensuring a smooth driving experience. In terms of driving safety, XPEL's anti-glare design can effectively reduce the reflection of sunlight and night vehicle lights, improving visibility and driving safety. At the same time, there are multiple VLT transmittance options (from 5% to 70%) available, allowing users to freely balance privacy and transparency according to their needs.


Finally, XPEL offers a 10-year official warranty, ensuring that the film body will not fade, bubble or peel off. Even in the complex climate conditions of New York, it can still maintain clear, stable and long-lasting heat insulation performance.

  • Heat Rejection The XR PLUS series adopts a double-layer nano-ceramic structure, which can block up to 98% of infrared heat. It is one of the windows with the strongest thermal reflection performance on the market currently. In the high-temperature environment of summer in New York, the measured interior temperature can be reduced by approximately 15°C (≈30°F), significantly improving driving comfort.

  • UV Protection All XPEL series can block over 99% of ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB), effectively protecting skin health and preventing the aging of car interiors. This is particularly important for Tesla and other large-glass vehicle models, as it can prevent the fading of the dashboard and seats.

  • Optical Clarity Ceramic membranes have a higher light transmittance compared to metal membranes, and they do not affect the night vision or camera system. In the actual installation test of T-House, the clarity of XR PLUS at night was improved by more than 25% compared to ordinary metal membranes.

  • Signal Friendly The XR series and XR PLUS are both made of non-metallic materials, which do not interfere with GPS, mobile phones, Bluetooth or autonomous driving sensor signals. This is particularly crucial for the multi-radar and camera system of Tesla Model 3/Y.



Benefits of XPEL Tint for Tesla Owners


XPEL Tint

For Tesla owners, choosing the right window tint is not only about enhancing the appearance but also represents a practical and long-term investment. Tesla's large glass design offers a wide field of vision, but it also brings about the problems of excessive heat exposure and UV aging. XPEL window film, with its professional insulation and optical properties, has become the preferred choice for Tesla's official certified owners.


① Panoramic sky screen insulation

The glass sunroofs of Tesla Model Y and Model X can reach a temperature of up to 70°C in summer sunlight. After installing XPEL PRIME XR PLUS, the heat insulation efficiency has significantly improved, capable of blocking up to 98% of infrared heat. The actual measurement data shows that in the high-temperature conditions of the New York city area, the inside temperature drops by more than 15°C (≈30°F), the cabin cools down faster, the air conditioning load is significantly reduced, and thus the electric vehicle's range performance is prolonged.


② Do not interfere with Tesla's autonomous driving system

Unlike ordinary metal reflective films, XPEL ceramic film does not affect radar, cameras and GPS signals at all. Its non-metallic structure ensures the normal operation of Tesla Autopilot, Sentry Mode, and Cabin Camera. This is particularly important for Model 3/Y owners who rely on sensor systems.


③ Preventing Interior and Screen Aging

The interior of Tesla is equipped with a large area of leather and a central touch screen structure. If exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, it is prone to aging, fading and temperature rise of electronic components.

XPEL window film can block 99%+ of ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB), effectively preventing the aging of interior materials. After long-term use, the glossiness of the seats and the center console is improved by approximately 35%.


④ Enhance Privacy and Driving Comfort

The XPEL window film offers various light transmittance options (such as 70%, 50%, 30%, 20%), allowing car owners to freely choose based on legal requirements and personal preferences. This not only maintains clear visibility at night but also significantly enhances privacy protection. This is particularly practical in urban high-density parking areas, effectively reducing the risks of excessive sun exposure and privacy exposure inside the vehicle.


⑤ Durability and Long-Term Warranty

Tesla's high-temperature glass structure has extremely high requirements for the adhesion of the film material. XPEL PRIME XR / XR PLUS adopts a multi-layer ceramic molecular structure, which is non-fading, non-bubbling, and non-peeling. T-House offers official lifetime warranty, ensuring excellent heat insulation and visual performance over a period of up to ten years of use.



Maintenance Tips for XPEL Window Tint


XPEL Window Tint

High-quality XPEL window films not only provide excellent heat insulation and UV protection, but also can maintain a lifespan of up to ten years with proper maintenance. For high-end vehicles such as Tesla, scientific maintenance methods can significantly extend the clarity and adhesion stability of the film layer. Here is the official usage and maintenance guide from T-House:


a. Do not raise or lower the car windows within 48 hours after installation

After installing the XPEL film, it takes some time for the adhesive layer to fully cure. During this period, please avoid opening the car windows or touching the edges to prevent the corners from lifting or forming bubbles. The normal curing time is 24–48 hours, and it may be slightly longer in cold and humid weather.


b. Use a neutral cleaner during cleaning.

Please avoid using glass cleaners that contain ammonia or alcohol. These components will damage XPEL's UV-resistant coating, causing the film surface to lose its luster or age prematurely. It is recommended to use the officially recommended neutral cleaning solution by XPEL or the T-House WrapCare™ product.


c. Use microfiber cloths for cleaning

When cleaning or wiping, use a clean Microfiber ultra-fine fabric and gently wipe in a straight line from top to bottom. Avoid circular motions to prevent friction marks. For large areas of film on the roof or rear window, you can use deionized water for cleaning to prevent water marks from remaining.


d. Regularly inspect the sealing condition at the edges

It is recommended to inspect the edge of the window film every 6 months to ensure a proper seal. If you notice any slight warping or bubbles, please go to the T-House After-sales Center for immediate handling. All construction records will be synchronized to the official database of XPEL, and free repairs will be provided within the warranty period.


e. Regular maintenance to ensure optimal optical performance

To maintain the anti-fouling property and optical clarity of the membrane surface, T-House recommends using XPEL Ceramic Boost™ or WrapCare™ Protectant once every 3–4 months. It can form a transparent protective layer on the membrane surface, enhancing the hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties, ensuring that the glass always maintains a high light transmittance.


📆 You can book the regular membrane surface maintenance service at T-House. Professional inspections and cleaning will be conducted by certified technicians.



FAQ — XPEL Window Tint Installation


Q1: How long does XPEL window tint last?

The lifespan of the XPEL PRIME XR and XR PLUS series can exceed 10 years. Their nano-ceramic structure can resist ultraviolet rays, thermal aging and oxidation for a long time, and will not fade or bubble. T-House offers official lifetime warranty (Lifetime Warranty), and the warranty records are synchronized to the XPEL headquarters, which can be verified globally.


Q2: Does XPEL tint affect visibility at night?

No. XPEL uses high-transparency nano-ceramic material, which ensures a clear and distortion-free view even at night. Compared to traditional tinted films, XPEL has more stable optical transmission rate and does not have issues such as glare or reflection. T-House recommends that owners who frequently drive at night choose the XR PLUS 70% or 50% transmission rate models.


Yes.

T-House strictly complies with New York State Traffic Law VTL §375(12-a). According to the regulations, the light transmittance of the front windows must be ≥70%, while the light transmittance of the rear windows and the rear windshield can be lower appropriately. All XPEL products come with certification marks for detectable light transmittance, ensuring compliance with annual inspections and law enforcement tests.

T-House can offer "legal matching solutions" based on the customer's vehicle model, taking into account both insulation and regulatory requirements.


Q4: How long after installation can I roll down my windows?

It is recommended to raise and lower the car windows 48 hours (2 days) after installation. This is the optimal time to allow the adhesive layer to fully cure and prevent the edges from lifting. In cold and wet climates (such as the winter in New York), T-House suggests extending this period to 72 hours to ensure stable results.


Q5: Does tint installation void Tesla’s warranty?

No. The installation certified by XPEL's official channel will not affect the original Tesla warranty. T-House is the dual-certification center for Tesla and XPEL, and all construction processes comply with Tesla's official electrical safety and camera protection standards. Additionally, XPEL offers an independent warranty system, covering issues such as aging, fading, and blistering of the film material.
