5 Things to Consider Before Tinting Your Windows

Before you tint your vehicle windows, you have some decisions to make. You should also be knowledgeable about your state laws regarding window tint. Not every window tinting company follows the rules, so you’ll need to ensure that you have a professional company, such as Executive Motorsports, tint your vehicle’s windows. They will abide by state laws and will install premium window tint that has a guarantee. Keep these things in mind as you start shopping for window tint.

Know the Laws

Knowing the state laws and local regulations is essential. If you are stopped because the window tint is too dark, not only could you get a ticket for it, but you will have to have the tint removed. And, if you want to tint the windows properly, the cost of all three is not worth putting the wrong film on your windows. State law regulates how dark the tint is and how much tint you may have on the front windshield.

Tint the Windows Properly the First Time

This means you should have a professional window tinting company install the window tint. Cheap film and a poorly applied film will cost you more in the long run. Cheap tint will bubble and peel rather quickly, but it could also crack or otherwise damage your windows. Cheap window tint may scratch easily and will not last as long as premium window tint.

Window Tint Guarantee

Be sure to ask for a premium tint with a guarantee on it. Some manufacturers give a short guarantee or none at all. Premium films such as 3M™ will have a guarantee against bubbling and peeling.

How Long Does Window Tint Last?

This depends on the quality of the window tint. A premium brand installed by professionals lasts longer than inferior films. Many films will last over ten years. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for a long time, ask for a tint with a long lifetime.

Which Window Tint is the Correct Tint?

Since we offer several types and brands of window film, we will be able to advise you as to which would be best for your vehicle. Your personal preferences also figures into which tint is best for you. You can only go as dark as state law allows, but you may choose between absorbing tint or reflective tint or even a hybrid of the two. If you have problems seeing at night, be sure to mention it to the installer so that he or she may refer a tint that allows for better visibility.
