Many people opt for car window tinting not only for its functional advantages but also for its aesthetic appeal. The right window tint can add a sharp “blackout” style or other dose of personality to a vehicle. It’s one of the rare vehicle upgrades that can be practical and looks nice.
When it comes to window tint, there are many options, each of which affects its performance and cost. In this article, we will explore car window tint pricing and cost, car window tint installation times and different car window tint shades. With this information, you’ll be able to choose the right window tint for driving around Colorado and beyond.
Window Tint Prices
The first question for almost everyone considering window tint is: how much does window tint cost? The cost of car window tinting depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, the size and number of windows and the quality of the film used. Window tint prices can range from as little as $99 to $800 or higher. Luxury vehicles and larger vehicles (trucks, SUVs, etc.) tend to have higher window tinting costs due to their larger windows.
High-quality window films may cost more upfront but offer better longevity, heat rejection and UV protection. We have several levels of window film that have been rated for these properties along with security, color stability and more.
Car Window Tint Installation
Next, we need to ask: how long does it take to get windows tinted? Like with window tint pricing, the installation time for car window tinting varies. It mainly depends on the complexity of the job and the number of windows to be tinted. On average, it takes around two to three hours to tint a car's windows. However, some factors can influence the installation time, such as the type of vehicle, the area you are tinting, custom jobs — such as only wanting to tint front door windows — and the experience of the installer.
You also must consider that after the tint is applied, it needs time to cure. During this curing period, we recommend you avoid rolling down car windows and refrain from cleaning the tint to allow it to adhere properly.
Different Shades of Window Tint
Car window tinting services offer various shades to meet individual preferences and legal requirements. The darkness of the tint is measured by its Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage, indicating how much light can pass through the film. Here are some common car tinted window shades:
Light Tint: This shade allows a higher amount of light to enter the car. Generally, it offers good visibility both during the day and night, making it suitable for those who prioritize clarity while still seeking heat and glare reduction.
Medium Tint: Falling in the moderate range, this shade provides a balance between privacy and visibility. It reduces heat and glare to a significant extent while maintaining good visibility in most lighting conditions.
Dark Tint: Offering the highest level of privacy, dark tint blocks more light and heat compared to lighter shades. It is often preferred for its excellent daytime privacy and increased heat rejection. One potential downside is that it can hurt overall visibility, especially at night.
Color Tint: Some car window tinting services also offer color tints that alter the appearance of the windows. These tints can range from subtle hues to more vibrant colors, allowing for customization to match the car's style.
It's important to check the specific regulations in your area regarding the darkness or VLT percentage allowed for car window tinting. Different areas may have different laws and restrictions to ensure road safety.
