Professional film installation that reduces heat, UV, and glare, installed to NY legal limits.

The Service

What Is Window Tinting?

Window tinting is the application of polyester film to the interior surface of automotive glass. Film varies by visible light transmission (VLT%), heat rejection, and UV blocking. Quality film is optically clear, doesn't bubble or purple with age, and is installed to New York State legal specifications.

The Film Matters

Carbon vs Ceramic

At the same darkness, both films look nearly identical from outside. The real difference is what you feel in the cabin and what the film blocks in the light you can't see.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

What's legal in New York State?

NY law requires the windshield and front side windows to allow at least 70% VLT, with non-reflective tint permitted on the top 6 inches of the windshield. For sedans and passenger cars, rear side windows also need 70% VLT minimum. For SUVs and trucks, rear side windows can be any darkness. The rear windshield can be any darkness as long as the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides.

How long does window tint last?

Quality film lasts 10+ years without fading, bubbling, or purpling. We use professional-grade film exclusively.

Will tint interfere with my defrost or antenna?

No, film is applied without disrupting defrost lines. Factory rear window elements are fully preserved.

How do I care for new tint?

Avoid rolling windows down for 3–5 days during cure. After that, clean with a soft cloth and ammonia-free glass cleaner.
