How Much to Tint a Car Window

There are many options available regarding the amount you could tint your car's windows. These include DIY kits, metalized, and nano-ceramic. The best choice for your vehicle will be contingent on the type of window film used and the material it's made from. DIY kits are also an option if you want to save money. Be aware that there may not be a guarantee for the installation.

Nano-ceramic

One of the best methods to guard your car's interior from fade is to get an opaque window tint that blocks 99% of UV rays as well as the majority of IR Rays. Non-reflective window tints made of nano-ceramic are also available. They will not interfere or block radio and cellphone signals. They are also relatively inexpensive.

Window tints made of ceramic are constructed from tiny particles of ceramic to shield your vehicle from UV, infrared, and heat. The film is 100% protection from these harmful rays, while providing 70 percent reduction in glare. Ceramic film can also help keep your car's interior cool and doesn't affect the heat or visibility.

Metalized

Metalized tinting for windows in cars is a very popular choice for car windows that helps to reduce the sunlight and heat that enters the vehicle. The process involves the use of the multi-layered plastic which contains metallic particles. These metallic particles help make the film stronger and block light from entering through the window. It also creates a mirror-like appearance to the window from the outside. This process can interfere with GPS and cell phone receptions.

While the reflective properties of the metalized window tint films look attractive however, they also have negatives. Window films can be easily scratched and get faded with time. They also can interfere with your GPS, radio reception as well as your phone's signal. Additionally, metalized films could also affect the tire pressure monitoring system.

Dyed

Adding window tint is a great way to improve the aesthetics of your vehicle and make it more comfortable during hot summer days. Before you choose a tinting company, there are some things to think about. You don't want your state to have different tint laws. In Illinois for instance it is possible to tint your windshield up to 35% shade. You can tint your vehicle's sides up to 50% by using an easy transmission. Your rear window can be tinted to the darkest shade your heart desires.

You should decide how much you're willing to spend on tinting your windows. Tinting products can be bought at prices as low as $100. However, professional tinting can cost between $280 and $290.

Cost of professional service

The price of professional window tinting depends on many factors such as the type of window and their location. Flat windows at ground level will be less expensive than windows located at higher floors. Windows that have more than one pane will cost more. Tinting more windows at once could save you money.
