What is factory tint?

With factory window tinting (AKA tinted glass), dyes and coloring pigments are added directly into the raw materials during glass manufacturing. The quantity and type of additives determines glass color and the amount of VLT (visible light transmission). Factory window tinting commonly has a VLT of 74 to 85 percent.

Tinted glass is standard on virtually all vehicles sold in the United States. Manufacturers found reducing UV and IR allows the air conditioner to operate more efficiently and keep your vehicle cooler, using less energy.

What types of film do you offer?

Dyed Window Tint

Mostly used for appearance and privacy. Although the darkest option, dyed window tint’s VLT doesn’t restrict you from seeing cars or objects approaching from the rear or side of your vehicle. Dyed window tint offers several advantages, including enhanced privacy, UV protection, and reduced interior fading, making it a practical choice for both vehicle and building applications. The tinting process involves applying a dye between layers of adhesive film, which absorbs solar radiation and dissipates it through the glass.

Ceramic Window Tint

This is the highest quality, most technologically advanced window tint available. Nonconductive and nonmetallic ceramic particles absorb and reflect sunlight, greatly reducing the solar energy entering your car. It’s a multiple-layered film that uses microscopic ceramic particles that are nonconductive to block nearly 99.9% of UVA and UVB. Ceramic also comes at a higher price due to the type of material and greater benefits.
