Understanding window tinting. If you can’t see clearly
through your windows, then the tint is too dark. Tinting is meant to
add a bit of privacy and security and protect you from UV sunlight.
You don’t want to impede your ability to see and drive safely. You
should avoid placing any window film tinting on your windshield and
only use an auto tint of 70% VLT or higher on your front side windows.
A tint with 70% VLT (visible light transmittance) allows 70% of
visible light through, blocking about 30% of the light. Any darker
could obstruct your view of the road.
*Please note the tinting laws in your province.
☀️ UV Blocking
Car window tinting blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. If
you’re in the car for extended periods, car window tinting is
important for protecting you and loved ones from cancer-causing UV
rays. UV protection comes in various grades, and you don’t need to
have windows significantly darkened to block UV.
🔥 Heat Control
In addition to UV, the sun also tends to create uncomfortable heat
inside your car. Since car window tinting also blocks up to 71% of
solar energy, you can easily stay comfortable and prevent expensive
overuse of the AC.
🔨 Added Safety
Car windows are designed to reduce injury when broken, but car window
tint brings window security to a new level. Since window tint covers
entire panes, broken glass stays in one piece, greatly reducing
chances of injury from glass shards. An added benefit is that cleanup
is that much easier after breakage.
🔐 Theft Prevention
Car window tinting also protects from car theft. Security tint makes
car windows more durable, and, since broken glass is held together,
even a thief that succeeds in breaking a window is still faced with a
solid panel of glass and film.
