Desert
Shade Tinting

Our team offers professional window tinting solutions to enhance privacy, reduce glare, and improve the comfort of your auto, home or office. Based in Phoenix, serving the whole valley.
Heat Reduction
Window tinting can significantly reduce the amount of heat entering your vehicle or building, keeping interiors cooler and more comfortable, especially during hot weather. This can lead to reduced reliance on air conditioning, saving energy and fuel costs.
UV Protection
Tinted windows block a large portion of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from entering your vehicle or building. This helps protect your skin from sun damage and reduces the risk of fading, cracking, or discoloration of interior surfaces, such as upholstery, dashboard, and furniture.
Glare Reduction
Window tinting reduces glare from sunlight, headlights, and other reflective surfaces, improving visibility for drivers and occupants. This can enhance safety by reducing eye strain and distractions while driving, particularly during dawn, dusk, or bright sunny conditions.

FAQ:

1. What is window tinting?

Window tinting involves applying a thin film to the interior or exterior of a glass surface, primarily windows, to reduce heat and glare, provide privacy, and enhance aesthetic appeal.

2. Is window tinting legal?

Yes, but regulations vary by location. Different states and countries have specific laws regarding the darkness (VLT – Visible Light Transmission) and reflectivity of window tints. It's important to check local laws before tinting.

3. What are the benefits of window tinting?

Heat Reduction: Tints can block up to 99% of UV rays, reducing heat inside vehicles and buildings.
Glare Reduction: Tinted windows minimize glare from the sun and headlights.
Privacy: Tints offer increased privacy by making it harder to see inside.
Protection: They can protect the interior of cars and buildings from sun damage.
Safety: In case of an accident, the film can hold shattered glass together.

4. Are there different types of window tint films?

Dyed Film: Provides basic privacy and glare reduction. Metalized Film: Reflects heat and UV rays; however, it can interfere with electronic devices.
Carbon Film: Offers good heat reduction without signal interference.
Ceramic Film: Highest quality, excellent heat reduction, no signal interference, and the most durable.

5. What does VLT (Visible Light Transmission) mean?

VLT refers to the percentage of visible light that passes through the window. A lower VLT means darker tint. For example, a 5% VLT means only 5% of light passes through, which is very dark.

6. How long does window tint last?

The lifespan of window tint depends on the quality of the film and installation. High-quality tints can last up to 10 years or more, while lower quality tints might last 1-2 years.

7. Will window tint affect my visibility?

Quality tints are designed to reduce glare and improve visibility, especially during the day. However, very dark tints can make night driving more challenging.

8. Does window tint affect radio or GPS signals?

Metalized tints can interfere with radio, GPS, and mobile phone signals. Non-metalized tints, like ceramic and carbon films, do not have this issue.

9. How do I clean tinted windows?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which can damage the tint film.

10. Can window tinting help with energy efficiency?

Yes, by blocking UV rays and heat, window tints can reduce cooling costs in summer and retain heat in winter, improving overall energy efficiency.
