People add window tinting to their vehicles to gain UV protection, prevent upholstery fading and to keep their car cooler. However, with the many options available it can be difficult to know which to choose for your car or truck. Knowing some aspects can help you pick tinting that will suit your needs.

Select Window Tinting with This Advice

1. Look into State Regulations

Have you ever wondered why you don’t often see vehicles with window tinting that you can’t see through? In many states, it’s illegal to apply tinting, of a specific grade, that obscure what’s going on inside the car. This is a safety measure for people inside the vehicle and helps emergency services if they ever have to provide assistance. Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to learn about the local tinting limits to ensure you’re following the laws. 

2. Consider UV Options

UV window tinting minimizes the amount of the suns rays that penetrate your vehicle windows. This can make it easier to drive on bright days when the sun is in your eyes. Tinting will also bounce UV rays away instead of absorbing them making the car hot. This will also help prevent premature leather cracking.

3. Assess High-quality Versus Average Options

For many people, choosing between top-quality versus average window tinting is a matter of price. However, you get what you pay for. If you want window tint that reflects the sun and provides privacy while remaining durable, you’ll need to invest in better quality options to reap the lasting benefits of these add-ons. Cost can also dictate if you apply it yourself or a professional applies it, keeping air bubbles and imperfections out of the tint.
