Frequently Asked Questions

The law on window tinting in Wisconsin does not regulate how dark of film can be installed, but there has to be a minimum amount of light passing through the window. Window tinting is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT), which is how much light can pass through the tint. A lower VLT number means a darker tint.

For your vehicle’s windows to be legal the front doors must allow at least 50% of visible light to pass through, while the back doors, quarters and rear windshield must allow at least 35% of visible light to pass through. Having tint on the entirety of the windshield is not legal. A brow on the front windshield is legal down to the AS1 mark on the glass. One last thing to keep in mind is that window tinting can have a variance of up to 3%.

Yes, all films we carry, sell and install have a lifetime warranty, so if the film happens to fade or peel without outside interference, and as long as the film hasn’t been tampered with, or the windows that were tinted haven’t been rolled down before the recommended 48 hours post-install, we will replace the film at no extra cost. But if you have precut patterns or bring your own we cannot warranty it.

Ceramic films are designed to reject tons more heat compared to Carbon films. It makes a world of a difference. But besides that it looks the same, we carry most of the same percentage shades, and it has equal clarity. It really helps if you have a dark interior because darker colors like black or navy blue tend to absorb more heat, or if you have a dark color car you’ll have the same result, you’ll have an oven for a car.

A crack or chip in any window wont necessaril damage the film, but the way the tints works, its taking the heat coming through the glass, and deterring it back outwards, so the window will build up stress from the pressure the heat creates and it will worsen the damage. The best thing to do is get the window replaced or if the damage is minimal, such as a small chip, you can have it filled and take less of a risk of breaking your window.
