FAQ of Window Tinting:
Shedding Light on Common Questions and Benefits

Window tinting has become increasingly popular in recent years, providing an array of advantages from increased privacy to shielding against harmful UV rays. If you’re contemplating window tinting for your car, truck, or boat, you likely have several questions. Here, we endeavor to address some of the most common questions about window tinting, offering insight into this versatile and beneficial option for your vehicle.

What is window tinting?

Window tinting involves the application of a thin film to the windows of a vehicle, home, or office. The film is typically made of polyester and infused with various compounds that provide different levels of shade, heat and UV radiation protection, and privacy.

Example: Let’s say you’re looking to tint the windows of your car to protect yourself and your passengers from the scorching Atlanta sun. You can choose a window tint film that blocks a significant percentage of UV rays and reduces the amount of heat entering the vehicle. This not only makes the interior more comfortable but also protects your skin and prevents sun damage to the car’s interior.

What are the benefits of window tinting?

Window tinting offers a range of benefits, including:

UV Protection: Window tint films filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, reducing your exposure to these rays by up to 99%. This can help prevent skin cancer, premature aging, and damage to your eyes.
Heat Reduction: Tinted windows help to reduce the amount of heat that enters your vehicle, home, or office. This can lead to lower energy costs for cooling and create a more comfortable and temperate environment.
Example: In the scorching Atlanta summers, the sun’s rays can penetrate through the windows, causing the interior of your car to become unbearably hot. By applying a window tint film, you can significantly reduce the heat build-up, making your car a more pleasant and comfortable environment to be in.
Glare Reduction: Tinted windows can minimize glare from the sun, headlights, or reflections, improving visibility and making it safer for you to drive or work.
Privacy and Security: Window tinting provides enhanced privacy by reducing visibility into your vehicle, home, or office. It also adds a layer of security, as the film helps hold shattered glass together in case of an accident or attempted break-in.

Is window tinting legal?

The legality of window tinting varies by jurisdiction, including the state of Georgia. In Atlanta, window tinting regulation is based on visible light transmission (VLT) percentages, measuring the amount of light that can pass through the window film.

Example: In Atlanta, Georgia, the law states that non-reflective tint can be applied to the top six inches of the windshield. For front side windows, the VLT percentage must be above 32%. The rear side and rear windows can have any VLT percentage.

It’s essential to familiarize yourself with local regulations before installing window tint, as non-compliance can result in fines or penalties. Consulting a professional window tinting service provider can ensure compliance while still delivering the desired benefits.

Can window tinting affect visibility?

When properly installed by professionals, window tinting should not significantly obstruct visibility during the day. However, the level of darkness chosen for tinting can affect nighttime visibility, especially if the tint is too dark.

How long does window tinting last?

The longevity of window tinting films depends on various factors, including the quality of the film, installation technique, and exposure to UV rays and weather conditions. High-quality films can last 10 to 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
