A lot of individuals who drive want to know what the Federal window tint law is and how it affects their cars. There is no federal law for window tinting; each state has its own rules. For instance, Florida law stipulates that the front side windows must allow in at least 28% of light and the back windows must let in at least 15% (sedans, SUVs, and vans can have as few as 6% for back windows). Our tint shop in Pompano Beach (3204 N Powerline Rd) follows all of Florida’s standards, so your car’s film is legal on the road and makes you feel the best.
Laws governing tinting windows in Florida and at the federal level
Window Tint Laws in the US
There is no law at the federal level that says how dark a window tint can be. Each state in the U.S. has its own standards about how dark windows can be. This indicates that the phrase “federal window tint law” is not right. You have to follow Florida’s rules when you drive there. Florida law gives out tint tickets, but not federal officials.
Florida law about window tint
Florida’s laws say how dark and shiny window film can be:
-
Front Side Windows:
Front Side Windows (save for the windshield) must allow in at least 28% of light (28% Visible Light Transmission).
-
Rear Side and Rear Windshield:
Sedans must allow in at least 15% of light. The rear windows of SUVs and vans can have a VLT as low as 6%.
-
Windshield (top strip only):
Above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line, you can put non-reflective tint on the top strip of the windshield.
-
Reflectivity:
The tint on the front can’t be more than 25% reflective, and the tint on the back can’t be more than 35% reflective.
These rules make sure that your color is legal. (Also, Florida law stipulates that tinted windows are not allowed and that a compliance label must be on the driver’s door jamb.) As a licensed tint provider, we make sure that every installation follows these rules so you don’t get a ticket and stay safe.
Benefits of Hiring a Pro to Tint Your Windows
There are several practical and comfort benefits to tinting your car’s windows, especially in sunny South Florida. High-quality film blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which keeps your skin safe and your furnishings from fading. It also lowers the amount of heat that builds up, which makes the air conditioning work less hard and keeps the inside of the car cooler. Window film also cuts down on glare from the sun and headlights coming toward you by a lot. This makes it easier to see and safer on bright days. Finally, tinted windows keep your valuables out of sight, which makes you feel safer and more private. This increased privacy makes it hard for anyone passing by to see inside, which makes it less likely that they will steal.

Protection from UV rays and heat:

Less Glare:
Tinting cuts down on glare from headlights and the sun, which makes driving clearer and more comfortable.

If your back windows are darker, it’s harder for thieves to see your things, so they’re less likely to try to take them.
It will be done right if you employ a pro to put the film on for you. Our expert technicians use high-quality films from well-known manufacturers like LLumar and 3M that won’t scratch and come with a warranty.
