Questions
Window Tint FAQ
Our ceramic and nano-ceramic films carry a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and color shift. Carbon film is rated for 5-8 years.
We install to California legal limits (70% VLT on front doors) and offer darker shades for the rear and cargo glass. We'll advise on the legal combination for your vehicle.
Most vehicles are completed in 2-3 hours. We recommend keeping windows closed for 48 hours after installation to allow full curing.
Our ceramic and nano-ceramic films are 100% non-metallic, so they never interfere with cell, GPS or keyless signals.
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is the percentage of light that passes through the film. Lower numbers are darker. Front doors are limited to 70% VLT in California, while rear glass can go as dark as 5%. We'll help you pick a combination that's legal and matches your goals.
Wait 48 hours before rolling windows down. The film needs time to fully adhere to the glass; rolling too soon can lift the edges and ruin the install.
Yes — significantly. Our nano-ceramic film rejects up to 96% of infrared heat, which can lower cabin temperatures by 15-20°F and reduce the load on your A/C.
No. Our ceramic and nano-ceramic films are color-stable and carry a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and purple discoloration. Cheap dyed films are what turn purple — we don't use them.
