Ceramic, Carbon and Dyed Film — Installed to Texas Legal Limits
Texas summers are the reason most people tint, and heat rejection is where the real difference between films shows up. A cheap dyed film makes the glass darker. A quality ceramic film makes the cab genuinely cooler, because it blocks infrared rather than just visible light — and it does it without going darker than the law allows.
We tint trucks, SUVs and cars in-house. Full vehicle, front two only, windshield strip, sunroof, and back glass. We also do tint removal, including the old purple and bubbling film that somebody else put on years ago.
Everything we install is cut to Texas legal limits unless you have a documented medical exemption. We will tell you what is legal before we tell you what looks good.
The best heat rejection available and no signal interference with phones, GPS or tyre sensors. Costs more, and on a Texas truck it is usually the film worth paying for.
Strong heat rejection, a deep matte-black look that will not turn purple, and no signal interference. The sensible middle of the range.
The budget option. Cuts glare and adds privacy, does far less for heat, and has the shortest life of the three.
A visor strip along the top of the windshield, cut to the manufacturer's AS-1 line or the top five inches, whichever Texas law allows.
Old, bubbling or purple film off, adhesive cleaned up, rear defroster lines left intact. The part that separates careful work from expensive work.
Consistent film and consistent VLT across every truck or van in a fleet, scheduled so you are not down more than one vehicle at a time.
Texas sets limits by VLT — visible light transmission, the percentage of light the glass lets through. A lower number is darker. These are the rules as they stand; we build every job around them:
Front side windows must let more than 25% of light through. Windshield: tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line, or the top five inches, at 25% VLT. Back side windows and rear glass can be any darkness you like — provided the vehicle has dual side mirrors, which every truck we see does.
Reflectivity is capped at 25% on the front and back side windows, so mirrored and metallic looks are limited. Red, blue and amber films are not permitted on the windshield. Texas also requires a compliance sticker between the film and the glass on the driver's side, and we fit one on every car we tint.
Medical exemptions exist for people who need darker film for a documented condition, and they are handled through the Texas Department of Public Safety rather than through us. Bring the paperwork and we will tint to it.
We are telling you all of this because a ticket and a strip-and-retint costs more than the difference between a legal film and an illegal one. If you want the darkest legal truck in Denton County, we will build you exactly that.
On the front side windows, more than 25% VLT — so a 25% film is the practical legal limit there. Behind the front doors you can go as dark as you want on a vehicle with dual side mirrors, which is why so many trucks run 25% up front and 5% in the back.
In Texas, usually yes. Ceramic blocks infrared — the part of sunlight you feel as heat — so the cab cools faster and stays cooler at the same legal darkness. A dyed film at the same VLT looks similar and feels considerably hotter.
Typically two to four days depending on temperature and humidity, longer in winter. The film needs to cure and the water haze behind it needs to clear. We will tell you the number for the day your vehicle is done.
Yes, and it is worth having done properly. The risk on rear glass is the defroster grid — pull the film wrong and you take the lines with it, which is an expensive repair. We remove it with heat and patience.
Only the strip above the AS-1 line or the top five inches, which is what Texas allows. We do not tint full windshields.
