This is the side that faces the window while your sitting in the driver’s seat. Window tinting is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for UV protection because it blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays. Safety, Glare and preservation The multi-layered polyester film that is installed on your vehicle’s interior adds an extra layer of protection during break-ins. Thieves are less likely to attempt to bust out your windows because they have to go through an extra layer of material to go through. The tinting material slows them down and increases their chances of getting caught. When in an accident, normally the windows shatter into a million tiny pieces but with tint in place, they are held together by the film. Tinting blocks 50-90% of glare from oncoming traffic and the sun, plus reduces eye fatigue while driving. The added benefit is that it saves your car’s upholstery and dash from deterioration, warping and discoloration. VLT When shopping for window tinting, you should be aware of the terminology. VLT is a term used to describe the visible light transmission. It is the percentage of light that passes through the window and into your vehicle. North Carolina limits the VLT depending on the vehicle type and potential placement location. If the VLT percentage is low, less light will enter the vehicle. A 35% VLT blocks more light than a tint with a 70% VLT. A 35% VLT tint blocks 65% of the light attempting to enter your vehicle. When trying to determine how much light will be blocked with a particular tint, simply subtract the VLT percentage from 100%. Window Tinting Legislation Window Tinting Laws within the state of North Carolina are pretty strict but we are still afforded some wiggle room. Red, yellow and amber tinting is illegal in North Carolina. The state limits the level of tint you can have on your vehicle. VLT, also known as Visible Light Transmission must be at least 35%. If the VLT percentage is high, more light can enter your vehicle. The law also stipulates window tinting placement by vehicle type and location. Tint on the windshield cannot surpass the top 5 inches. Passenger, SUVs, Vans and trucks cannot exceed a 35% VLT on the front side windows. There is no restriction on the rear side windows for commercial vehicles, limousines, trucks, SUVs and vans. |
