Window Tint Longmont

In addition to offering a sense of privacy and adding to the beauty of the exterior of your vehicle; window tint can also offer other advantages to your comfort and to the interior components of your vehicle by blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) and heat causing Infrared (IR) radiation. This is particularly important at high altitudes in sunny Colorado.

When considering window tint, you might be thinking, “how dark should I go.” Actually, instead of referring to the amount of light blocked, manufacturers of window tint instead refer to how much light is transmitted (Visible Light Transmission, or VLT). For example, a film with a VLT of 35 means only 35 percent of the outside visible light finds its way into your vehicle (i.e., 65% is blocked).

However, equally important is how much invisible, but harmful Ultraviolet (UV), and heat producing Infrared (IR) light, is blocked by the tint; referred to as Ultraviolet Rejection (UVR) and IR Rejection (IRR, or sometimes just IR), respectively. Regardless of the VLT rating of the tint you choose, all of our window tint films block more than 99 percent of harmful UV light (i.e., UVR > 99). The KAVAKA Ceramic IR line is specifically formulated to block heat causing Infrared light.

The total amount of sunlight (visible and invisible) blocked by the film you choose is referred to as Total Solar Energy Rejection, or TSER. Finally, window tints also reduce annoying glare. While it is hard to define glare, we all know what it is. The degree to which the tint you choose reduces glare is referred to simply as “Glare Reduction.” 

This team is spectacular! I inherited my dad's 2015 Subaru. Low mileage, great shape, but my dad was a smoker. The smell inside of the car was rough. Leo was straight up with me - there were several approaches that they could try (as opposed to chemical cover ups that other places offered), but no guarantees. I appreciated his candor and...

A small bottle of apple juice in my center console exploded like it had watched too much Dexter: spatter ALL over the dash, windshield, seats, and ceiling. The Works were quick, easy, friendly, and did an awesome job erasing the evidence. Would absolutely take a car there again!
