Understanding Window Tint Percentages
Vehicle window tints offer style and practical benefits, but knowing the different film percentages and their implications is essential. Just Tint provides a range of options for enthusiasts, ensuring both style and affordability in customization.
What We Offer.
Clear Window Tint
Clear factory or near clear window tint windows offer full visibility but may lead to glare and increased heat and UV damage to the interior.
35% Tint
Providing a darker appearance yet ensuring ease of visibility, this tint offers a sleek look and multiple benefits.
5% Tint
Completely opaque from outside view, this tint is often restricted by law due to limited visibility, except for specific vehicles like limousines
50% Tint
Blocking half the light, this tint reduces glare and UV exposure while maintaining good visibility.
20% Tint
With reduced visibility from the outside, this tint adds privacy while still allowing some light transmission.
Understanding the Distinctions Between Automotive and Architectural Tints
Headlight tints and window tints serve different purposes and are made of different materials. Window tints are polyurethane-based and designed for flat surfaces, while headlight tints are optically-clear vinyl suitable for curved surfaces. Additionally, residential and commercial tints are tailored for buildings and are usually polyester-based, providing various benefits such as energy efficiency, privacy, and UV protection.

UV and Total Solar Energy Rejection Properties
Window tints offer various advantages, including glare reduction, UV protection, heat rejection, and increased security for valuables inside the vehicle.
While tint darkness is a matter of preference, it's crucial to adhere to state laws regulating tint percentages. Most states permit up to 50% tint darkness on vehicles.
Darker tints can be beneficial for individuals with medical conditions sensitive to light and for enhancing the aesthetics of show cars. However, legal considerations and practical needs should be taken into account.
Visible Light Transmission (VLT) refers to the amount of sunlight passing through the glass, while tint darkness indicates light blockage. Understanding these factors helps in selecting the right tint for your needs.
When applying additional tint to factory windows, the combined VLT should be considered, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and desired darkness levels.
VLR measures how much solar energy is reflected off the glass. Higher VLR reduces heat transmission while maintaining visibility, providing benefits in different driving conditions.
Window tint films offer UV protection, shielding both the interior and occupants from harmful rays. Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER) measures the film's ability to block solar energy, enhancing comfort and safety.
