The XPEL Films We Install for Katy Vehicles
Prestige Window Tinting installs two XPEL nano-ceramic film options for automotive use. Both are built to handle Texas heat and perform long-term.
XPEL Prime XR Black - Nano Ceramic
XPEL Prime XR Black delivers 80% infrared heat rejection through its advanced nano-ceramic construction. It keeps your cabin noticeably cooler, reduces strain on your AC, and blocks UV rays that cause interior fading over time. The film maintains crystal-clear outbound visibility and creates zero signal interference - your GPS, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity stay completely unaffected.
Available VLT options: 5, 15, 20, 30, 55, 70.
XR Black is a strong choice for Katy drivers who want serious, long-term heat and UV protection with a clean, finished look.
XPEL Prime XR Plus - Multi-Layered Nano Ceramic
XPEL Prime XR Plus pushes performance further with 98% infrared heat rejection. The multi-layered nano-ceramic build creates an exceptional barrier against heat while maintaining the same outbound clarity and signal transparency as XR Black. It's the top film in the XPEL automotive lineup, and it performs accordingly.
Available VLT options: 5, 15, 20, 30, 55, 70.
XR Plus is the choice for Katy's luxury and high-performance vehicle owners who want the absolute best film their vehicle can carry - installed by a team with the experience to do it right.
Benefits of Professional Window Tinting for Your Vehicle
Good automotive tinting does more than change how your vehicle looks from the outside. Here's what Katy drivers actually gain:
- Heat Rejection: Significantly reduces infrared heat entering your cabin, keeping the interior more comfortable and your AC running more efficiently on hot Texas days.
- UV Protection: Blocks harmful UV rays that cause interior fading, wear on upholstery, and damage to dashboards and door panels over time.
- Enhanced Privacy: Makes it harder for others to see inside your vehicle while parked or in traffic - without affecting your outbound view.
- Glare Reduction: Cuts down sun glare and road reflections for a more comfortable, focused drive.
- Polished Appearance: A professional XPEL install gives your vehicle a clean, finished look that complements any make or model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between XPEL Prime XR Black and XR Plus?
Both are XPEL nano-ceramic automotive films, but they perform at different levels. XR Black delivers 80% infrared heat rejection, while XR Plus reaches 98%. Both films are available in the same six VLT options and produce no signal interference. The choice between them comes down to how much heat rejection you want and what type of vehicle you're driving. When you come in, we'll walk you through which option makes the most sense for your specific situation.
Is window tinting legal in Katy, TX?
Yes. Window tinting is legal in Texas as long as it meets state regulations. Front side windows must allow at least 25% of light through. Rear and back side windows allow more flexibility. Every installation at Prestige Window Tinting is done in compliance with the Texas tint law for your specific vehicle type, so you won't have anything to worry about after the install.
Does XPEL nano-ceramic film affect GPS or Bluetooth signals?
No. Both XPEL Prime XR Black and XPEL Prime XR Plus use nano-ceramic technology that is fully transparent to radio frequencies. Your GPS, Bluetooth, cellular signal, and any other wireless features in your vehicle will work exactly as they did before the install. This is one of the key advantages nano-ceramic films have over older metallic-based tints.
