CGT Blogger • September 11, 2019
Are you unsure about what window tint percentage to choose? Check out this guide to learn how to choose the right percentage.
You just bought that new car and you're in love! There's only one problem, the windows. You need to get those factory windows tinted.
Not only will it improve the look of your car, but it will help keep you cool too. So now all you need to do is decide what window tint percentage you want.
We've created a guide to help you decide.
Window Tint Percentage
Window tinting is a vinyl film that prevents the light from entering your vehicle through the windows. The percentage is the amount of light that the film allows through.
No Tint
This is the factory glass that comes on brand new cars. You may have also seen it on rental cars. These windows are going to let all of the sun's UV rays
in.
Fifty Percent Tint
This tint let's half of the light through. It's effective at blocking both heat and ultraviolet rays. With this tint, your windows will have a sunglasses-like view of the exterior.
Thirty-Five Percent Tint
This level of tint is the most popular because it's a good balance between light blocking and visibility.
Twenty Percent Tint
This is commonly what is referred to as "factory tint". Sometimes manufacturers apply a tint at the factory. This level of tint is usually in the 15-20% range.
This is a safe range for factory tinting because many states place restrictions on the level of tint vehicles can have. This tint falls within that range for a vast majority of states.
Five Percent Tint
This is super dark tint that only lets five percent of the light through. It makes the windows look black and is typically used on limousines.
What the Law Says
One thing to keep in mind while picking out your level of tint is to consider the Florida law.
Your front side windows should not be more than 28%. The backside and rear windows must allow more than 15% of the light in.
How Do You Choose?
Many people opt for darker tint because they want to block as much heat and UV rays as possible. The problem is, do you get the level of protection you want or do you follow the letter of the law.
Thanks to advancements in technology, you can now have the best of both worlds. Try the LLumar AIR series; this tint gives you all of the protection without the dark tint. That way, you can still have full visibility.
Get Your Windows Tinted
When deciding on what shade of tint you should get, you need to weigh all of the factors. The window tint percentage you choose should accomplish the look and protection that you want.
Keep in mind that if you choose a tint that's beyond what is legal, you put yourself at risk of getting pulled over. Then you will have to pay to get your tint fixed.
