Below are some of the most frequently asked questions on window tinting.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tinted windows on a car make for a nice sleek look but did you also know that window tint film has a few useful safety features? Aside from making it more difficult for potential robbers to see what’s in your passenger seat, car window tints offer enhanced UV protection. This helps to protect the interior of your car over time, keeping it looking pristine. Additionally, tint provides extra protection from heat throughout the summer preventing you from overheating on hot days. And in the case of an accident, window film helps keep glass intact, protecting you from flying glass fragments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many people are often confused about vehicle window tinting rules and regulations, as well as other common questions: Are tinted windows legal? How long does it take to install tint? How do you maintain and clean tint? So, we went ahead and pulled together the most frequently asked questions to provide you with quick answers regarding window tinting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does window tint installation cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, you can and may come across a cheaper price, closer to $100. Be careful with these special promotions as they tend to do cheap jobs or use a lower-quality tint film. Make sure to do your due diligence when shopping for window tint and ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does factory tint block UV rays? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Factory tinted windows, unlike window film installation, do not provide UV protection but they do offer some privacy and can reduce eye strain. However, aftermarket window tint offers UV security, eases eye strain, and can keep glass together in the case of an accident by preventing all the small pieces of glass from flying and causing damage. Aftermarket window films are important to consider for beneficial health reasons, especially if UV rays are a concern as frequent UV exposure can promote skin cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which states have the strictest window tinting laws? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some states have very stringent tint rules. Stricter laws enforce close to a 70% VLT on either the front or back side windows, or both. California<\/a>, Alaska, Iowa, New York<\/a>, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Washington DC lie on the stricter side of the spectrum. Some of the more lenient states include New Mexico, Texas<\/a>, Washington, Florida<\/a>, Montana. Want to know your state’s current tinting laws? Find your states here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
