Car Window Tinting West Virginia

Four things, and they are measured separately rather than rolled into one number. Kepler publishes infrared rejection, total solar energy rejection, ultraviolet transmittance and glare reduction for every shade, so you can see which of them a given film is strong at. Ultraviolet transmittance stays under 1% whichever shade you pick. There is more on our window tinting information page, including how those four measurements differ from one another.

Properly maintained, a Kepler West Virginia car window tinting job will provide results that last as long as your car. Kepler’s durable construction and Warranty Information ensure that your vehicle’s tinted windows will stay in excellent shape with proper care. With our skilled installation team, you can be assured of a perfect fit and finish, enhancing the aesthetic and practical advantages of your window tint.

Kepler does not set the price; the dealer doing the work does, based on the film, the number of windows and the shape of the glass. Our cost information. It gives an indicative figure so you have somewhere to start, but the price on that screen is illustrative rather than a quote for your vehicle. The dealer confirms the real number with you once they know what they are fitting and to what.

On the windows either side of the driver, West Virginia requires not less than 35% light transmission and not more than 20% reflectivity. The same two limits apply behind the driver, except that the light transmission requirement does not apply to the rear windows of trucks, buses, trailers, mobile homes and multipurpose passenger vehicles. Of Kepler’s five shades, only Stratum and Photon sit above 35% on their own. You can see all five in our window tinting options viewer before you choose.

More about Kepler, and about how an enquiry reaches a dealer, is set out on our information page.

Yes, within the limits set by West Virginia Code §17C-15-36a. Going outside them is a misdemeanor carrying a fine of not more than $200. There is also a labeling rule that catches people out: the manufacturer must fix a label of no more than one and a half square inches between the film and the glazing, in the lower left corner of each glazing surface as you face the vehicle from outside, showing the manufacturer name and the percentage of light transmission. Our window tint laws page has the windshield rule, the mirror requirement and the medical exemption in full. Wider road rules sit under State Laws. Settle the shade before the film goes on rather than after.

Carefully, and ideally not on your own driveway. Old film comes away in pieces rather than in one sheet, the adhesive stays behind on the glass, and a rear screen with printed heating elements in it needs particular care. Our Removal Instructions walk through the process step by step if you want to attempt it. If you are having new film fitted anyway, the simpler route is to ask the dealer to quote the removal alongside the new tint, since they will have the glass in front of them regardless.

It is nano-ceramic rather than dyed or metalized. Kepler describes the IR+ range as reaching its performance without relying on dyes or metals, which is why the finish stays non-reflective and your phone, GPS and radio are left alone. The deeper comparison of the two ranges is on our ceramic window tinting page. Kepler also makes architectural film, so the same conversation applies to the glass at home, and home window tinting services in West Virginia covers the residential range.

That is a question for your vehicle manufacturer or the dealership that sold you the car, and it is worth asking before the film goes on rather than after. Kepler’s own warranty covers the film against product defects for the life of the vehicle. It says nothing about your vehicle warranty, and neither Kepler nor the fitting dealer can speak for the manufacturer.

Ask the dealer for their aftercare instructions and follow those rather than general advice: how long to leave the windows up while the adhesive cures, and which glass cleaners they want kept away from the film. Kepler’s warranty covers defects in the material, so it does not stretch to damage caused after fitting.

Yes, though Tesla glass is worth treating as its own job. The roof is a different piece of glass from the side windows, and the guidance depends on the exact model and year, so check the owner’s manual for your car and raise it with the dealer before anything is fitted.
