Every film in this collection is nano ceramic window tint, from our near-black 5% to our two light 70% films. The ceramic particles in the film block most of the infrared light that heats up your car, so even the lightest roll here makes a real difference on a hot day. All six films stop at least 99% of UV, contain no metal that could interfere with your phone or GPS, and come on 5 ft wide rolls in lengths from 3.3 ft for a single window up to 98 ft.
VLT stands for visible light transmission, the percentage of visible light that makes it through the film. A 5% film lets in 5% of the light and blocks 95%, so it looks almost black from outside. A 70% film blocks only 30% and looks close to clear.
It's easy to assume the darkest tint keeps a car the coolest. With ceramic film, the gap is smaller than you'd think. Most of the heat you feel comes from infrared light you can't see, and every film on this page blocks well over 90% of it. Darker shades add privacy and cut more glare, but heat rejection is strong at every level. Choose based on the look you want, how much privacy you need, and what your state allows.
Total solar energy rejected (TSER) is the best single number for comparing heat, since it counts UV, visible light, and infrared together.
| Film | Shade | UV rejection | IR rejection (950 / 1400 nm) | TSER | Haze (lower is clearer) |
| 5% VLT | Dark black | 99% | 98% / 99% | 69% | 0.85 |
| 10% VLT | Deep black | 99% | 98% / 99% | 69% | 0.75 |
| 20% VLT | Black | 99% | 97% / 99% | 65% | 0.65 |
| 40% VLT | Light black | 99% | 96% / 99% | 60% | 0.56 |
| 70% VLT | Light blue | 99% | 94% / 97% | 49% | 0.26 |
| 70% VLT Advanced | Light blue | 99.8% | 93.2% / 97% | 57.7% | 0.26 |
Manufacturer test values for the film alone. Your results will depend on the glass and the quality of the install.
Each state sets its own VLT limits, and most are stricter on the windshield and front side windows than on the rear. The legal number is usually measured through the film and the glass together, and factory glass already blocks some light on its own, so a 70% film on your front windows will often read lower than 70% once it's on the car.
A common setup is a darker shade like 20% on the rear windows and a lighter one like 40% or 70% up front, depending on your state. Look up your state's rules before you order.
Every roll is 5 ft wide and comes in 3.3, 10, 16, 33, 49, 65, 82, or 98 ft lengths. As a rough guide:
When in doubt, order the next size up, and plan to install the film within three months of delivery for the best adhesion.
Always the inside. That keeps the film away from rain, car washes, and road debris, which helps it last much longer.
A little, but less than most people expect. Our films reject between 49% and 69% of total solar energy, and the ceramic blocks most of the infrared at every shade. Going darker mainly adds privacy and glare control.
No. There's no metal in the film, so cell service (including 4G and 5G), GPS, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and toll tags all work normally.
No. Purple tint is a sign of cheap dyed film breaking down in the sun. Our ceramic films are color stable and built to hold their shade for the life of the film.
They look the same on the car. The Advanced film rejects more heat (57.7% of total solar energy versus 49%) and slightly more UV (99.8% versus 99%). If heat is the main reason you're tinting, go with the Advanced.
Yes, if you're patient. Start with a flat side window, work in a clean, dust free space, and order a little extra film for practice. Curved rear glass is the hardest part, and plenty of buyers have a local shop handle just that piece.
The 8 year rating assumes normal use. A car that sits in direct sun every day in a hot climate will wear its film faster than one parked in a garage, and a careful install matters as much as the film itself.
