FAQS
Is window tinting legal in our area, and do your tints comply with local regulations?
Yes, we take legal compliance seriously. We offer a range of window tint options that meet the regulations specific to your area. Our team is knowledgeable about local laws, and we'll ensure that your chosen tint is fully compliant. We'll also guide you in selecting the appropriate shade to ensure you stay within legal limits while enjoying the benefits of tinted windows.
How long does the window tinting process take, and when can I drive my vehicle after installation?
The duration of the tinting process depends on the type of vehicle and the number of windows being tinted. Generally, it takes about 2 to 4 hours. After installation, you can drive your vehicle right away, but we recommend keeping the windows rolled up for at least 48 hours to allow the tint to properly cure. This helps ensure a bubble-free, flawless finish. You can rely on our team to provide clear instructions and schedule your appointment accordingly.
What kind of warranty do you offer for your window tinting services?
We stand behind the quality of our work and the durability of our products. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive warranty on all our window tinting services. The specific terms and coverage may vary depending on the type of tint you choose, but rest assured, your investment is protected. In the rare event that you experience any issues with your tint, simply contact us, and we'll address it promptly to ensure your complete satisfaction.
What is ceramic tint?
Ceramic tint blocks up to 95% of the heat entering your vehicle while still allowing you to see out of your vehicle with ease.
What is the legal tint percentage in NC?
The legal percentage in NC is 32.5%. while most people believe 35% goes on the car windows that is an easy misconception to make. All vehicles come with 76% coloration in the glass itself from manufacturing. So we put a 40% film over that so it will read no darker than 35% to ensure you pass your yearly inspection with no issues.
Is the full windshield legal to tint?
In the state of North Carolina you are allowed tint down to your AS1 line or a tint no darker than 76%. What is the purpose of 76% on the windshield with it being clear? Well the answer is simple, to keep out that pestering heat. With having ceramic, even with it being clear as day, it still blocks out the heat with the best of them.
