by Ceramic Pro

KAVACA Ceramic IR is Ceramic Pro's premium nano-ceramic window film — built on the same proven nano-ceramic chemistry as our flagship Ultimate IR, tuned for the driver who wants real ceramic heat rejection without the top-shelf premium.

A proprietary nano-ceramic IR-blocking layer targets the infrared wavelengths that make a cabin feel hot — without dye, without metal, and without compromising the look of your glass. At any given shade, Ceramic IR rejects more heat than most "ceramic" films from other brands at any price.

The Difference You Feel

96°F outside.
Cool cabin in.

On a Kansas summer afternoon, untreated glass lets up to 60% of solar heat through — turning your cabin into a furnace and forcing your A/C to work overtime.

Ceramic IR's nano-ceramic particles selectively block infrared wavelengths from 780 nm to 2,500 nm. Your cabin stays cool, your dash, leather, and electronics stay safer, and your fuel/EV range improves.

What Makes It Ceramic IR

Premium nano-ceramic.
Built for daily driving.

Most window tints are dyed polyester. Ceramic Pro KAVACA Ceramic IR is a multi-layer nano-ceramic-particle composite — the same chemistry that powers our flagship Ultimate IR, tuned for daily-driver value.

Premium IR Blocking

Rejects up to 96% of infrared heat — the part of sunlight that actually feels hot on your skin — using selective nano-ceramic absorption, not reflective metal.

99.9% UV Rejection

Equivalent to SPF 1000+. Protects your skin from UVA/UVB on long drives and keeps your dashboard, leather, and electronics from fading and cracking.

Color-Stable for Life

No dye, no fade. Ceramic IR will never turn purple, bubble, or go cloudy — and it's backed by a transferable Ceramic Pro lifetime warranty against failure.

Zero Signal Interference

No metal layer means no degraded GPS, no flaky Bluetooth, no LTE / 5G drop-outs, and no interference with toll transponders or keyless entry.

Crystal-Clear Visibility

High visible-light transmission on lighter shades and razor-sharp clarity on darker ones — no haze, no graininess, no glare bouncing back at night.

Safety Reinforcement

An adhesive layer holds shattered glass together in a side-impact or break-in attempt — keeping fragments out of the cabin and the glass intact longer.

Choose Your Shade

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ceramic Pro KAVACA Ceramic IR?

Ceramic IR is the premium nano-ceramic window film in Ceramic Pro's KAVACA® product line — one tier below our flagship Ultimate IR. It uses a proprietary nano-ceramic IR-blocking layer that targets the infrared wavelengths that make a cabin feel hot. No dyes, no metal, no signal interference.

Compared to a traditional dyed tint, you get dramatically more heat rejection at any given shade, no purple-fade over time, and a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty registered to your vehicle.

What shades are legal in Kansas and Missouri?

Kansas allows 35% VLT or darker on the driver and front-passenger windows, with darker shades permitted on rear windows. Missouri allows 35% VLT on front side windows. SUVs, trucks, and vans typically have more freedom on rear windows in both states.

We're fully versed in the legal limits on both sides of the state line and will recommend the right combination of shades for your vehicle. Medical exemptions can apply — bring your paperwork.

How long does it take to install?

A typical sedan takes about 2–3 hours, and a full SUV with a rear hatch about 3–4 hours. We can do same-day appointments in most cases, and we offer a comfortable lounge with Wi-Fi if you'd like to wait. Curing is virtually complete by the time you drive off — full cure happens over the next several days, during which we ask you not to roll your windows down.

Will KAVACA Ceramic IR turn purple or bubble like older tints?

No. Purple-fade and bubbling are caused by dye breakdown and adhesive failure — both properties of cheaper dyed films. Ceramic IR contains no dyes at all, and uses a Ceramic Pro manufacturer-grade adhesive tested over the lifetime of the vehicle. Your Ceramic Pro lifetime warranty covers both, just in case.

Can KAVACA Ceramic IR be combined with windshield protection or PPF?

Absolutely — and as a Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer it's one of our favorite stack-ups. Many of our clients add a clear KAVACA windshield film for full-vehicle UV and IR coverage, and pair it with a KAVACA Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Pro nano-ceramic coating on the body. Mention it when you book and we'll bundle a quote.

How much does KAVACA Ceramic IR cost?

Pricing depends on the vehicle, the shades you choose, and how many windows you include. Ceramic IR sits one tier below our flagship Ultimate IR, with pricing scaled to vehicle size and complexity. The Ceramic Pro lifetime warranty is included — there are no add-on warranty packages.

The fastest way to get an accurate number is to send us your year/make/model and we'll quote you back the same day.
