Car window tinting
How long does car window tinting take?
Most cars take 2 to 4 hours. Taking off old tint first can add an hour or two.
When can I roll my windows down after tinting?
Keep them up for 3 to 5 days while the film dries, and wait a week before cleaning the inside of the glass. Use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner.
Is ceramic tint worth it?
Yes, if heat matters to you. Ceramic film keeps more heat out without having to look darker: Union Ceramic IR blocks up to 87% of infrared heat, against 75% for Union Carbon IR.
Will ceramic tint affect my phone or GPS?
No. Ceramic film has no metal in it, so phones, GPS and radio work as normal.
What tint shades can I choose from?
From darkest to lightest: 5%, 15%, 20%, 35%, 50% and 70%. Darker shades give more privacy, lighter ones keep a factory look, and we make sure the front windows stay legal.
Do you tint Teslas?
Yes. We tint every Tesla model. Tesla window tint usually costs from $400 to $1,200. The price depends on the model, the film and whether you want the glass roof done.
Tint law in California
How dark can I tint my windows in California?
In California, the front side windows can only take clear UV film, which still cuts heat, and the rear side windows and back window can take any shade. We check the law for your car before we start.
Homes and businesses
Does window film keep a house cooler?
Yes. Solar window film turns away a large share of the sun’s heat and blocks over 99% of UV, so rooms stay cooler and floors and furniture fade less.
Can window film give us privacy?
Yes. Reflective film gives privacy in the daytime, and frosted or blackout film gives privacy day and night.
How long does it take to tint the windows in a house?
Most homes are done in a few hours to a day, depending on how many windows there are.
Can you fit window film around our business hours?
Yes. We can fit film before or after hours, at weekends or in stages, so your business keeps running.

Which window film do you use?
We fit Union Window Films. For cars: Union Carbon IR (blocks up to 75% of infrared heat) and Union Ceramic IR (up to 87%). For homes and businesses: Union solar, privacy and safety films.
