What are the different types of tint films?

All window tint films reduce the amount of visible light coming into a vehicle, which helps reduce glare and provides more privacy. And all of the ones we recommend are claimed to block up to 99% of UV radiation, which helps protect your skin and reduces the fading and damage to interior materials. The most economical use only layers of dyes to achieve the desired benefits. They can give your car a great appearance, but they fade more quickly and can take on a purplish cast over time. Metalized films use tiny metallic particles to reflect more sunlight, which helps reduce the amount of heat entering the vehicle and better resists fading. This type has fallen out of favor with many drivers, though, because of reports that the metallic particles can interfere with electronic signals of phones, portable GPS navigators, and other in-car consumer electronics. For many drivers, a better alternative is a carbon window tint, which replaces the metal particles with tiny bits of carbon. This has similar heat-reflective properties, but without the chance of electronic interference. It also has a matte-like finish that many people like, and it holds up better than basic dyed films. The most expensive type is ceramic film, which uses nano-sized ceramic particles instead of carbon or metal. It blocks more infrared radiation and heat from entering the car than carbon films, and it's very durable and long lasting.

What do the tint numbers mean?

All window tints have a VLT (visible light transmission) percentage number that can range from 5 to 70. The lower the number, the less visible light enters the vehicle. A film with a VLT percentage of 70, for example, is a lighter shade that blocks only 30% of the outside light, allowing 70% into the vehicle. At the other extreme, a VLT of 5 is very dark, allowing in only 5% of the light, which is why it's often used in limos. (Standard sunglasses have a VLT of 15-25.) In most states, the front side windows are limited to a tint of 30% to 50% VLT. The website, tinting-laws.com, has a good visual simulation of the different VLT percentages.

Is it legal to tint my vehicle's windows?

Each state has its own laws about window tinting, and you should check your state's regs on this AAA site before buying. No states let you tint your whole windshield, but most allow you to tint a five- or six-inch strip along the top (or down to the windshield's so-called AS1 line). The laws for the side windows and the rear window vary. Police may use tinted windows for apretext stop. The driver is pulled over for a possible minor violation (tinted windows, an air freshener hanging from mirror, tail lamp out) in hopes of finding a larger violation. Keep in mind that if you're applying a tint over factory-tinted windows, the total light transmission of both will be measured. We've read comments from users who bought a tint that matched their state's limits and still failed their car's inspection, possibly for this reason. In addition to the AAA website above,windowtintlaws.us provides a good explanation of each state's laws, as well as some helpful articles about tinting (but be ready to sift through the ads).

Can I install a window tint as well as a shop?

Generally, window tints aren't tricky to install, but they do require a few tools, a clean environment, and an ample amount of patience. The easiest type to install is a precut kit, which has been trimmed to fit your specific car model. With a roll of film, you need to measure the windows and cut the film to the right size yourself. Once cut, most products are installed by spraying the inside of a window with a soap-and-water solution, positioning the film on the window, and smoothing it out with a squeegee. While many products come with a squeegee, it helps to have a good basic installation kit, which you can get for under $20. Before attempting the installation, we recommend you read over the instructions that many companies provide on their websites. There are also many installation videos available, either on company websites or YouTube. Compound curved glass, such as rear windows that curve in both directions, can be the biggest challenge for first-timers. Some companies advise you to shrink the film with a heat gun to get it to fit well, and there are a number of good YouTube videos, such as this one, that show you how to do it. A good heat gun costs about $30, or $50 as part of an installation kit. Other companies recommend installing it in horizontal strips, even though this can leave visible seams in the tint.

How long do window tints last?

It depends on the type of film. According to Gila Film Products, the dyes and pigments used in basic dyed window-tint film will gradually break down from UV radiation. Presuming correct installation and proper maintenance, the company estimates they will last three to four years before beginning to fade. But this depends a lot on the environment you drive in and how much direct sun the car gets. Films that reflect more sunlight, such as those with carbon or ceramic particles, will last longer, often five to 10 years.
