Understanding Tint Percentages
Window tint percentages are measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT). A lower percentage means darker film and less light passing through, while higher percentages allow more light.
The Most Common Tint Options
- 5% (Limo Tint): Offers maximum privacy and a bold look, but limited night visibility.
- 20% (Dark Tint): A popular choice that balances privacy and visibility.
- 35% (Medium Tint): Legal in many states, provides a stylish appearance while keeping interiors cooler.
- 50% (Light Tint): A subtle option that reduces glare without drastically changing the look of your vehicle.
Which Tint Is Best for You?
If you value privacy, a darker film may be your best choice. For those prioritizing comfort and compliance with state laws, 35% or 50% may be the safest option. Always review your local tint laws before selecting your shade.
