THE FLORIDA HEAT PROBLEM
Your Vehicle Absorbs Heat Like a Greenhouse
Southwest Florida drivers face a daily battle with the sun. Park your car for just 15 minutes, and the cabin temperature can climb past 140°F. Standard glass does little to stop the infrared rays that generate most of this heat.
Unbearable Cabin Temperatures
Dashboard surfaces can reach 180°F, making your steering wheel and seats painful to touch
Constant Glare Fatigue
Squinting through harsh reflections on US-41 and I-75 leads to eye strain and reduced reaction time
Overworked Air Conditioning
Your AC runs at maximum just to bring temperatures down, burning extra fuel every trip
Accelerated Interior Wear
UV rays break down leather, fade fabric, crack vinyl, and degrade plastic trim over time
Why LLumar CTX
Ceramic Performance Without Compromise
LLumar CTX uses advanced ceramic particle technology to reject solar energy while maintaining crystal-clear signal transmission. The smart choice for drivers who want proven performance.
Up to 72% Infrared Heat Rejection
CTX ceramic particles specifically target the infrared wavelengths responsible for heat buildup. Even in lighter shades, CTX blocks a significant portion of heat-generating rays.
Up to 58% Total Solar Energy Rejected
Beyond infrared, CTX rejects a substantial portion of all solar energy hitting your windows. This comprehensive approach keeps your entire vehicle cooler.
99%+ Ultraviolet Protection
Every CTX shade blocks more than 99% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays. Protects your skin and prevents sun damage that cracks leather and fades interiors.
Zero Electronic Interference
Unlike metallic films, CTX contains no metal particles. Your GPS, Bluetooth, cellular signals, toll transponders, and satellite radio work exactly as intended.
Color-Stable Charcoal Finish
CTX uses a sophisticated charcoal tint that maintains its true color year after year. No purple shifting, no fading, no discoloration like lower-quality films.
Manufacturer Lifetime Warranty
LLumar backs CTX with a lifetime limited warranty covering bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination, and color change for as long as you own your vehicle.
CTX is Offered in 7 Different Shades

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How much heat does LLumar CTX actually block?
CTX blocks up to 72% of infrared heat and rejects up to 58% of total solar energy, depending on the shade selected. Even the lightest CTX 50 shade blocks 68% of infrared rays, so you get significant cooling regardless of your style preference.
How long does CTX installation take?
Most sedans and coupes are completed in 2 to 2.5 hours. SUVs, trucks, and vehicles with complex window shapes may require 3 to 4 hours. We recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure same-day completion.
When can I roll down my windows after installation?
Wait 3 to 5 days before operating your windows. Florida's humidity requires additional curing time for the adhesive to fully bond. Rolling windows down too early can cause the film to shift or peel.
Will CTX block my phone signal or GPS?
No. LLumar CTX is 100% metal-free, so it causes zero interference with cellular signals, GPS navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, toll transponders, or any other electronic devices.
Is CTX legal for front windows in Florida?
Yes. CTX 25 has a 28% visible light transmission, which meets Florida's legal requirement for front side windows. Rear side windows and back glass have no restrictions, so any CTX shade is legal for those positions.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
LLumar's lifetime limited warranty covers manufacturing defects including bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination, and color fading. The warranty remains valid for as long as you own the vehicle and can be transferred to a new owner.
Can you install CTX on Tesla or electric vehicles?
Absolutely. We regularly install CTX on Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, Rivian, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and other EVs. Ceramic tint helps reduce AC load, which can improve driving range.
What is the difference between CTX and IRX?
Both are ceramic films, but IRX has a higher concentration of nano-ceramic particles specifically tuned for maximum infrared rejection (up to 88%). CTX offers excellent heat rejection (up to 72% infrared) at a more accessible price point. CTX is a smart choice when you want top quality without the top-of-the-line price.
