FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What window tint percentages do you offer?

    We offer a range of tint options including 5%, 20%, 35%, and 50%, allowing you to choose the level of privacy, heat rejection, and visibility that best fits your needs and local regulations.

  • How long does auto window tinting take?

    Most full-service auto window tint installations are completed in approximately 1.5 hours, depending on the vehicle type and film selected.

  • Is window tint legal in California?

    Yes, window tint is legal in California, but there are specific regulations regarding tint darkness, especially for front side windows and windshields. We help ensure your tint selection complies with California tint laws.

  • Can window tinting protect my furniture and flooring?

    Yes, high-quality window films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which are a major cause of fading in furniture, carpets, and artwork. By reducing UV exposure, your home or office interiors remain vibrant longer, preserving the value of your belongings. This protective benefit also extends to vehicle interiors, preventing dashboards, seats, and trims from cracking or fading under direct sunlight.

  • Are tinted windows legal in California?

    California has specific regulations regarding the darkness of automotive tints and reflectivity levels. Direct Tints Inc ensures all installations comply with state laws, including front side windows, rear windows, and windshields. Residential and commercial tinting have no legal restrictions, giving you flexibility in choosing your preferred shade. Our experts provide guidance to ensure you stay within legal limits while maximizing comfort and style.

  • How does window tinting improve safety and security?

    Tinted films add a layer of protection to glass by holding shards together in case of breakage. This reduces the risk of injury during accidents, break-ins, or natural events. Automotive tinting protects passengers from shattered glass, while residential and commercial films strengthen windows and enhance privacy. Additionally, darker or reflective films make it harder for potential intruders to see inside, adding peace of mind.

  • Can window tinting help with glare on screens and monitors?

    Yes, window films significantly reduce glare on TVs, computer monitors, and other digital devices. This is particularly beneficial in home offices, commercial workspaces, or living rooms with large windows. By softening direct sunlight without darkening rooms, tinting creates a more comfortable visual environment, reducing eye strain and improving productivity.

  • How long does window tinting last?

    With proper installation and care, high-quality films installed by Direct Tints Inc can last 10–15 years or more. Lifetime warranties are available for many of our products, reflecting the confidence in their durability. Factors like climate, sun exposure, and maintenance practices influence longevity, but premium films resist fading, bubbling, and peeling, ensuring long-term protection and aesthetics.

  • Can I tint only certain windows or parts of my vehicle/home?

    Absolutely. Tinting can be customized to any number of windows or sections. Automotive customers may choose front, rear, or all windows; homeowners can select key rooms, sliding doors, or entire façades; businesses can opt for specific office spaces or storefronts. Direct Tints Inc evaluates each project to recommend the most effective approach, ensuring optimal balance between cost, performance, and comfort.

  • What challenges might arise during installation?

    Challenges can include curved automotive glass, older windows with imperfections, or large commercial panels. Skilled installation is critical to avoid bubbles, peeling, or uneven application. Direct Tints Inc addresses these challenges using advanced techniques, precision tools, and experienced installers to ensure flawless results. Our team communicates clearly with clients about any potential limitations or solutions during the process.
