Clovis Window Tinting

Often, many of our customers in cities we serve like Fresno and Clovis, CA will ask about window tinting percentages.

Here’s a quick list of common tint percentages and a definition of what it’d look like on your car:

• 0% tint:  Tinted at this level, your window has no tint and appears as installed at the factory.
• 50% tint: Tinted at this level, your window will block 50% of outside light.
• 35% percent: This is a darker tint that auto owners choose and is the darkest allowed in states like Michigan and Indiana.
• 20% percent: Only 15%-20% of the visible light will go through the glass.
• 5% percent: Only allowing 5% of available light through the glass. This tint is often found on limousine windows.

Auto owners get their car tinted to prevent UV rays from hitting the interior of their car and causing their seats to fade or become damaged by the sun. Properly tinted windows can also reduce the glare of headlights from other vehicles. With a proper tint installation, our customers keep the glare of sunlight off of them as they go throughout Fresno, Clovis, CA, and nearby cities.

For your windshield, you can only use a non-reflective tint on the top 4 inches of your windshield. For your front side windows, any aftermarket tint films must allow a minimum of 70% VLT. For your back windows, you can use tint films of any tint percentage.

Many vehicle manufacturers install a factory tint but it’s generally only done on the rear windows of your vehicle. Factory tinting is done by dying the glass, but aftermarket tinting is done by applying a tint film to the interior of your vehicle’s windows.

Depending on the amount of visible light transmission (VLT), you may also wish to invest in car window tinting to increase your protection against UV rays and improve your level of privacy against snoopers.

Tinting your windows may seem easy. But, what many DIY tint kits don’t tell you is that the results of a bad window tint job are messy, leaving your car windows with bubbles, scratches, or crooked tint placement.

That’s why most car owners choose to visit a professional window tinting company like Clovis Window Tinting for their car window tinting needs. As with anything, tinting your windows the right way requires practice and you may not have the time or money to clean up any DIY tint mistakes. But, don’t worry, we can tint your car windows so you look great and stay cool as you drive down N. Blackstone Ave. in Fresno or through the streets of Clovis.

This is a different question from window tinting percentages. In this case, there are three main types of car window tinting that can be done to your vehicle:

• Factory Tint: In this type of car window tint, the VLT is between 74% and 85% depending on where it’s done. This tint is applied to the glass of a car’s windows before it’s sold.
• OEM Tint: Car owners interested in this type of tint will need to make sure that they buy a window tint percentage that is legally allowed in their state. Similar to a factory tint, this is applied directly to the glass of car windows during the manufacturing process.
• Film Tint: This is by far the easiest and most customizable option for many car owners since it allows for as high as 90% or as low as 2.5%. This kind of car window tinting is done by a licensed window tinting company like our team.

There’s a really simple distinction that you can make between a factory tint for car windows and an aftermarket one.

A factory tint consists of a pigment that is applied inside the glass of car windows and cannot be removed. An aftermarket tint film is done by a tinting shop like ours and is a film that is applied to the inside of the window.
