If you are interested in window tint for adding privacy and style, then be aware that Indiana has regulations governing the type of tint you can use and on which windows you can apply it. Indiana tint laws were enacted in 2003 and are subject to change periodically. Make sure you stay up to date on the rules as your vehicle may fall out of regulation if they change because in Indiana window tint violations can be assessed as serious Class A infractions.
There are myriad reasons window tinting cars in Indiana is a great idea, but ironically the primary benefits of window film for cars are two things most people don’t even think about when they consider getting window film. Window tint can block 99% of the sun’s UV light, and as it’s this ultraviolet light that causes interior fading and cracking, car window film preserves your vehicle’s interior and can help it maintain much higher resale value.
Secondly, window tint blocks a large majority of the heat created by the sun’s infrared light, dramatically reducing interior cabin heat. This means a more comfortable car that also requires less energy consumption for cooling, reducing operating costs and minimizing strain on the vehicles air conditioning system.
These two benefits of window tint can be achieved using optically clear window film, so while most people think of window tint for cars as primarily about privacy and style, there is every reason to get window tint in Indiana even if you’d rather not change the look of your car.

% of Tint or Visible light transmission (VLT) is the measurement used to assess the amount of light passing through a piece of glass. This is the percent of visible light that passes through the film and glass to give you a net transmission percentage. The lower the VLT%, the darker the window.
Law Enforcement uses a tint meter which measures the Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) of window film and glass for illegal tint.
Windshield: Several states allow medical exemptions for drivers or passengers who frequently travel in the vehicle. These exemptions usually require a licensed physician in that state to sign a waiver. Please visit your states .gov site for details.

If you’re driving a truck or SUV built in the last decade, chances are it’s equipped with factory tinted glass on all windows behind the front doors.
Many owners of vehicles like this often choose to only have the front windows tinted to match the back because they believe that they are already set with the rear windows.
While this factory tint improves the looks of the vehicle, and offers rear passengers some privacy, it does very little to help reduce the heat entering through the glass or protect them from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
The same also goes for heat rejection. Some assume that the level of heat rejection they will on the front glass is already present in the rear glass because of the factory tint. Nothing can be further from the truth. Other than having the tinted look, these windows do very little to stop the heat.
