Window Tint Myths

Not everything you hear about window tint is true.  

1. Tinted windows will turn purple over time: This was true for older, lower-quality films, but modern window films are much more durable and maintain their appearance for many years.
2. Window tinting makes rooms too dark: With a wide range of Visible Light Transmission (VLT) options available, you can choose a tint level that still provides benefits without darkening your space too much.
3. Window tinting voids window warranties: Most reputable window manufacturers maintain their window warranty guidelines when you’ve installed window films, especially if they are done by a professional.
4. All window films are the same: There’s a wide variety of window films available, each with different properties and benefits. By researching, you can choose the film that best suits your wants and needs.
5. Window tinting is only for hot climates: While heat rejection is the most commonly known benefit, window tinting offers other advantages in all climates, like UV protection and glare reduction.
6. Tinted windows are difficult to clean: Modern window films are designed to be durable and easy to clean. With proper care and maintenance, keeping tinted windows in good condition is straightforward.
