What is the darkest legal tint in Florida?

Front side windows must let in at least 28% of light, so 35% is the darkest of our shades for them. Behind the driver, cars can go to 15% and SUVs, trucks and vans to 6%, so 15% is the darkest of our shades there.

Does a lighter shade still block heat?

Yes. Heat is blocked by the film itself, not only by how dark it looks. Ceramic IR blocks up to 87% of infrared heat and Carbon IR up to 75%, and both block 99.99% of UV.

Can I have different shades on the front and back?

Yes. Many drivers choose a lighter legal shade for the front side windows and a darker one behind the driver. We check your choice against Florida law before we start.

Which tint shade is right for you?

A film’s percentage describes the film alone, not the installed visible light transmission (VLT) of the glass and film together. Factory privacy glass affects the final result. Compare the six shades, then have the installed result checked for your vehicle.

Florida requires at least 28% installed glass-and-film VLT on front side windows, at least 15% behind the driver on passenger cars, or at least 6% on verified qualifying multipurpose passenger vehicles. Reflectivity, window position, classification and any applicable exemption also matter. Not every SUV, truck or van qualifies. Florida tint law

It is the share of visible light the film lets through. A 5% film lets in 5% of the light and looks almost black; a 70% film lets in most of it and looks nearly clear.
