What Is Window Tint and Why Do I Need It?
Window tint is a thin film or coating applied to the interior or exterior of windows, typically made from polyester or another durable material. Once installed, it reduces the levels of heat and solar energy that pass through the glass while the filtered natural light continues to shine inside.
 
Each formulation provides specific results, so the benefits this product offers is dependent on what you hope to accomplish with it. Generally, there are six primary benefits associated with an investment in this service.
 
Heat Reduction
Window tint helps keep interiors cooler by blocking a significant portion of the sun's heat, which can reduce the need for air conditioning and improve energy efficiency.
 
Removing Glare
Today’s best tints and films reduce sunlight glare, making it easier to see screens, drive, or read when conditions are excessively bright.
 
Ultraviolet Protection
Although the ratings are variable, most products offer up to 99% protection from the sun’s UV rays. This feature protects your skin while reducing fading and yellowing of indoor soft surfaces.
 
Increased Privacy
Tinted windows offer increased privacy by making it more difficult for people outside to see inside. For Stockton homeowners, this investment makes sense for the bathroom and the bedroom.
 
Commercial spaces can benefit by creating partitions for waiting rooms, offices, and meeting areas. You can also use today’s best tints to enhance curb appeal or reinforce your branding efforts.
 
Improved Aesthetics
Our technicians will enhance the appearance of virtually any vehicle, home, or business with your selected window tints. For homeowners, this investment could translate into a 5% to 10% gain in overall value, allowing for an immediate return.
 
Glass Resilience
In the event a window breaks, our top tints and films work to hold the glass together to reduce injury risks from flying shards. This feature can prevent storm damage, intruder access, and accidental impacts.

Paint Protection Film

This durable, transparent coating is applied to a vehicle’s exterior to safeguard the paint from chips and scratches. It’s a high-performance product that is nearly invisible once installed, ensuring the original color and finish have extra protection.
 
Today’s paint protection films offer superior resistance to road debris, ultraviolet rays, and chemical stains. They are designed to be self-healing in sunshine, removing minor scratches and scuffs that can appear.
 
When professionally installed, your vehicle will maintain a pristine appearance.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coatings for vehicles are advanced liquid polymers applied to the exterior surfaces to create a protective, glossy shield that bonds with the paint. This product delivers long-lasting protection against common environmental contaminants.
 
Unlike a traditional wax, the ceramic coating provides superior hydrophobic properties to cause water and liquids to bead up and roll away. That makes the cleaning and maintenance work much easier to manage.
 
The result? It’s a deep, mirror-like finish that enhances your vehicle’s appearance with the capability of maintaining that shine for years to come.

California Laws and Tint Percentages

​In our state, vehicles with tint on the front side windows (driver and passenger) must allow at least 70% of the available light into the interior. This rule includes any factory tinting that might be included inside the glass.
 
The same rule applies to the front windshield along the top four inches where tinting is allowed.
 
When you reach the back or rear windows, the VLT restrictions are eased if you have dual side mirrors. The tint cannot be more reflective than a standard window, and mirrored finished that reflect more are not allowed.
