Why Cheaper isn’t Better When it Comes to Window Tinting

There are many benefits to tinting your windows, but when it comes to installing, it’s always best to hire a professional. Initially it may be easier on your wallet to DIY or go for the cheaper installation in town, but, in the end, it may end up costing hundreds of extra dollars. Here are some things you should always consider when shopping around for window tint and why cheaper isn’t better when it comes to window tinting.

 

Knowledge of regulations.

According to North Carolinas regulations, sedan, coupe and wagon tint must allow at least 35% of the light in. SUVs, trucks and vans get a bit more leniency—the front windows must allow at least 35% of light in, but the back-seat windows and rear windshield can be any level of darkness. On all vehicles, the front windshield can have a visor strip down to the AS1 line—or 5 inches—and the light transmission needs to be at least 35%. However, a clear un-tinted film can be applied to the entire front windshield to reduce harmful UV rays.

 

As you can see, tinting windows is more complicated than slapping on some DIY tint or calling the cheapest local installer. Window tinting is an art, one which should be handled by experienced professionals who can keep your car beautiful and its passengers safe. To ensure that your window tint follows the law and looks great, be sure to work with trusted professionals such as Coastal Glass Tinting.
