Car Window Tinting Union City

Tinted glass changes how a car feels to drive. The right film softens the glare that tires your eyes on a bright afternoon, helps manage solar heat, filters the ultraviolet light that fades upholstery and trim, and makes it harder for passers-by to see what you have left on the seats. Nano-ceramic films such as Kepler IR and IR+ are designed to do that work without a harsh mirrored appearance. Keep in mind that shade and heat performance are two different things, so compare the exact film and shade with your installer rather than assuming the darkest option performs best.

How long film keeps performing comes down to the film itself, the glass it is applied to and how it is looked after. Quality automotive film is made to resist the fading, color shift and delamination that leave cheap tint looking tired after a couple of summers, and Kepler's nano-ceramic ranges are built for constant sun exposure. Taking old film off is a job in its own right, so it pays to choose carefully the first time. Ask your installer what warranty applies to the film and to the workmanship before you book.

Cost varies with the vehicle, the number of windows, the glazing itself and the film you choose, so any general figure is only a starting point. For guidance on what shapes the price, see our pricing information. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Kepler films run from near-clear to very dark, so you can match the look you want. Each film page sets out what that product is designed to do. Remember that visible light transmission describes how much light passes through the glass; it is separate from how the film handles solar heat, so compare the exact film and shade side by side. Browse our car films page to find the right film, or look at the tint percentages for a broad overview.

Window tint is regulated by state law, and the rules cover which windows may be tinted and how much light must pass through them. Confirm the current requirements before you settle on a shade. For more detail on legal tint levels, see our window tint laws page. Tint outside the limits can mean penalties and having the film removed, so check the rules that apply where the car is registered and driven, including Georgia State Laws.

Old film can be taken off, but it asks for patience. Rushed work risks lifting the defroster lines on a rear window, leaving adhesive behind or marking the glass, and glazing differs from car to car. Our guide explains what is involved and how to protect the glass while you work. Plenty of owners prefer to hand removal to an experienced installer, particularly on rear windows with heating elements, and it is worth asking about when you get your tinting quote.

Sunlight reaching your car is a mix of visible light, infrared that you feel as heat, and ultraviolet that fades interiors. Kepler films are built in layers, each with a job to do: color stability, ceramic heat rejection and a hard-wearing surface facing the cabin. The nano-ceramic technology in the IR and IR+ ranges is aimed at the parts of the spectrum you cannot see, which is why a film does not have to be dark to work on heat and UV. It is also why two films with the same visible light transmission can feel quite different from the driver's seat, so it is always worth comparing the specification of the exact film and shade.

In most cases it does not, since film is applied to the glass rather than to any mechanical or electrical component. Some dealerships take a stricter view of aftermarket work, so if your vehicle is new it is sensible to ask your vehicle dealer how they treat window film, and to ask your installer what warranty covers the film itself.

Leave the windows up for as long as your installer advises while the film settles. After that, clean with a soft cloth and a mild, ammonia-free cleaner, and keep abrasive pads and scrapers away from the filmed side of the glass. Gentle, regular cleaning is all it takes to keep the tint clear and looking new.

Yes, Tesla glass can be tinted, though the glazing and its suitability depend on the model and year. A large windshield or panoramic roof is a different proposition from side glass, so tell the installer the exact model and year and ask which Kepler film they would recommend for each panel. Our Tesla page covers the range in more detail.
