Window Tinting Shades

Choosing the right Window Tinting Shades can transform the look of your vehicle while improving comfort and privacy. But tint isn’t just about appearance—the shade you select also affects visibility, heat reduction, and compliance with local tint laws. At Amigos Tinting Calgary, we help drivers choose tint levels that balance performance, safety, and style.

Understanding Tint Percentages

Tint shade is measured by visible light transmission (VLT)—the percentage of light that passes through your windows. A lower VLT number means darker tint. For example, 20% tint blocks more light than 50%. The key is finding the right balance between privacy and visibility, especially when driving at night.

Common Window Tinting Shade Levels

  • 5% (limo tint): Offers maximum privacy but limits visibility at night. Typically used on rear windows only.
  • 20%: A popular option that provides privacy without making interiors too dark.
  • 35%: Balances comfort, style, and visibility—ideal for drivers who want a clean, factory-style look.
  • 50%: Light shading that blocks heat and glare while maintaining a clear view.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Tint

Before selecting your shade, think about driving habits, local climate, and personal preference. Darker Window Tinting Shades reduce glare and increase privacy, but may not be legal for front windows depending on provincial laws. Lighter films still block harmful UV rays and heat but allow more natural light to enter the cabin.

Balancing Aesthetics and Function

The best tint doesn’t just look good—it performs well. Many modern films combine heat rejection with optical clarity, so you don’t have to sacrifice safety for style. For Calgary drivers, mid-range shades (20–35%) often provide the ideal mix of cooling comfort and visibility during both bright days and long winter nights.
