6 Reasons to Tint Your Car
There are many reasons to tint your car from protecting against health concerns, safety and privacy reasons, as well as preserving your investment in your car. Listed below are some of the to​p reasons that people tint their cars.​

​Once tinting film is applied to a window, the characteristics of how visible light comes into the car changes. Normal auto glass without tint reflects around 5% of visible light (known as VLR%), absorbs another 5% (known as VLA%), and transmits 90% of visible light (known as VLT%) into the car.
​
Depending on the type and quality of tinting film applied to a window, these percentages change dramatically. Some tints are more reflective, and others absorb more light. The number you will most commonly see is the VLT% (Visible Light Transmittance). VLT tells you how much visible light is allowed to shine into the car, and also indirectly how dark the tint looks.

Tinting film doesn't just block visible light. It also blocks harmful cancer-causing ultra-violet (UV-A and UV-B) rays as well as infra-red (IR) rays that cause heat to build up in your car; however, how effective a film is in blocking these rays depends on the type of film, the manufacturer, and the quality of installation.

Avoid Overheating
​Your car's interior can be 60% cool​er during those hot summer days with proper tinting.
