How dark can I tint my windows?In Utah, the legal limit for window tinting depends on which windows you’re tinting. For the front side windows (the driver and passenger sides), the tint must allow at least 35% of visible light to pass through—this is known as the Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage. It’s a popular pick for a clean, dark look that stays within the rules. For the back side windows and rear window, there’s no limit—you can go as dark as you’d like, with 20% VLT being a go-to choice for that sleek, private vibe. Some people opt for darker shades all around, though pushing past the front window limits brings the risk of getting pulled over. Keep in mind that darker tints, especially on the rear windows with 5%, will reduce visibility at night. This can make it trickier to see out, particularly when reversing if your vehicle doesn’t have a backup camera. The front windshield can only have tint above the AS-1 line (usually the top 4 inches), so no full windshield tint is allowed. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between style, privacy, and visibility.

Does tint really block heat and UV rays?Yup, the tint we use blocks 99% of UV rays and cuts heat by up to 60%, but cheaper films don't offer the same benefits.

Should I get carbon or ceramic tint?Both carbon and ceramic films have their perks, depending on what you’re after. Carbon tint is a great choice for privacy and style, giving your windows a sharp, dark look at a good value. But if you’re aiming for maximum heat rejection, ceramic tint is the way to go. It’s best at blocking heat and UV rays while still looking clean and clear. The prices listed on our website are for ceramic film, since it’s a premium option we recommend. If you’re leaning toward carbon instead, just give us a call, and we’ll get you a quote!
