What We Do to Tint Windows?

The Tint Team can tint your windows for any reason:

  • Adding color to car windows: Tinting the windows of cars, trucks, and SUVs makes them safer and gives you more privacy. Quality automotive films block up to 99% of UV rays, which protects your skin and upholstery from the sun. Tints also keep the car cooler, which makes summer journeys more fun and may even help the car get better gas mileage by lowering the need for air conditioning. Lastly, tinted windows cut down on glare from the sun and headlights, which makes it safer to drive at night and easier on the eyes. We only use the best films, which come with lifetime guarantees and won’t fade or become purple like cheap tints from the store. You may be sure that your money is well spent because all installations come with a lifetime warranty that you can give to someone else.
  • Residential Window Tinting: Window films for homes have many of the same benefits as window films for cars. Window tinting in your home cuts down on glare and keeps UV rays from getting in, which keeps your carpets and furnishings from fading. They also make it tougher for those outside to see in, which keeps your privacy safe, and they can help your home use less energy. Some of the heat that comes through glass can be blocked by window tinting. This can help keep prices down on hot days in Florida. Our skilled team quickly and properly cuts and installs our home films to fit each window.
  • Window tinting for businesses: Tinting the windows of offices, retailers, and other commercial buildings makes them more comfortable and saves money. There is less glare on computer screens, which makes it easier for employees to do their jobs. The building also stays cooler. Commercial tints, like residential tints, block UV rays and lessen heat, which can help you save money on your energy cost. We also sell safety and ornamental films for the inside and outside of stores. Our trained workers will make sure that the job is done right and with as little disturbance as possible, whether you need one office or the whole building done.
  • Ceramic Window Films: We have high-quality ceramic tints for cars and buildings. Ceramic films are made up of tiny ceramic particles that do a remarkable job of shielding UV radiation and heat without using metal. They can block more than 99% of UV rays and up to 98% of infrared heat. Ceramic tints keep the inside cool and block out glare, but they don’t stop cell phone, GPS, or radio signals from getting through. Ceramic films cost more, but they don’t fade or get weaker over time. These are an excellent choice if you want the most comfort and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the good things about window tinting?

A: Windows that are tinted keep you secure, comfortable, and private. The film on the windows makes it hard for other people to look in, but you can still see out. Tint blocks up to 99% of UV radiation, which keeps your skin safe and preserves the furniture in your home and car from getting yellow and breaking down over time. Tint blocks some of the sun’s heat, which keeps the inside cooler and saves money on air conditioning. It also makes driving safer by reducing glare from headlights and the sun. This means that people and their things will be safer and more comfortable when they travel and while they are at home in sunny Florida.

Q: What kinds of window tint film should I look into?

A: There are a lot of different types of movies to choose from. Metalized tints stay longer and block heat better. Dyed tints add style and privacy. Carbon tints keep their color and filter infrared light well. Ceramic tints are the greatest choice since they use microscopic particles that aren’t metal to prevent heat and UV rays without damaging electronics. Ceramic film keeps its color and clarity for a long period and blocks the most heat and UV radiation. Based on your needs and budget, we’ll help you pick the right film.

Q: Is it against the law in Florida to tint windows?

A: Yes, but Florida law says that movies can’t be too dark. At least 28% of the light must come through the front windows. The windows on the sides and back of the automobile may be darker, usually with at least 15% VLT. You can only color the windshield above the AS-1 line. We know all the rules in Florida, and we’ll make sure your tint job follows them so you don’t have to pay any fines. If they can be proved, there are medical reasons why a darker tint might not be allowed.

Q: Will my window tint fade or change color to purple over time?

A: Only cheap tint films fade or change color. We always utilize the best materials that are made to stay clear. Our tints come with lifetime warranties, and current ceramic and carbon films don’t fade for a long time. Don’t worry about your windows turning purple. Our high-end movies won’t fade, and both the manufacturer and our own service warranty cover them.

Q: Will window tint mess with stuff like cell phones or GPS?

A: No. Modern high-performance films, including ceramic and carbon, don’t block radio signals because they aren’t formed of metal. One example is that many ceramic films are constructed to let radio waves pass through them. Your GPS, phones, and radio will all work properly after tinting. In fact, our top LLumar and 3M films are made such that they don’t pose any problems. (Important: very cheap metalized films might sometimes cause difficulties, but we don’t use them.)

Q: Do you offer a guarantee on your window tint jobs?

A: Yes, of course. We promise that both our work and our products are of high quality. XPEL, 3M, and Llumar are among the leading companies that offer lifetime (transferable) warranties against bubbling, peeling, or color change. The Tint Team also offers a lifetime warranty on all of our work. We’ll fix or replace your tint for free if something occurs to it when you’re using it normally. You may relax since your investment will be safe for life.

Q: Are tinted windows against the law? (Especially for cars in Florida)

A: Yes, however the regulations are significantly different and must be followed to avoid fines or being kicked out.

Laws in Florida About Car Tint (2026 Update)

Florida has restrictions about VLT, or visual light transmission, which is the amount of light that can get through windows.

Windows in the front: Must allow in at least 28% of light.

Back and rear windows must let in at least 15% light for autos.

You can only use non-reflective tint on the upper section of the windshield, above the AS-1 line.

The front reflectivity must be 25% or less, while the back reflection must be 35% or less.

Some colors, such red, blue, and amber, are not allowed. enterprisewindowtinting.com

Penalties for Illegal Tint: If you disobey the law, you could face a fine (typically around $116), be told to take it off, and have to wait longer for registration or inspections.

Q: Does window tinting filter UV rays even when the light doesn’t change?

A: Yes. The VLT (darkness) doesn’t describe how effectively it shields against UV rays; it just says how well you can see and how legal it is. Even at lighter tints, high-end coatings, especially ceramic ones, can block up to 99% of UV rays.

Q: Can I do the tint myself?

A: You can buy DIY kits, but having a professional do it usually offers you a better finish, longer-lasting adhesion, and fewer bubbles and mistakes. Professionals also check to make sure that the cut and fit are excellent, especially on curved glass or places that are hard to get to.

Q: How long does tinting stay on?

A: A correctly put film, especially ceramic, can last for 7 to 10 years or even longer. The terms of the warranty vary by maker and with the weather.

Q: Can you remove the window tint later?

A: Yes, a professional can take off tint without hurting the glass too much if they do it well. This is useful if you move to a place with differing tint rules or just want a new appearance.
