Common Tinting Questions

What Are The Benefits Of Window Tinting?

Ceramic Pro Kavaca window tint is designed to improve comfort, protection, and clarity—not just darken your windows.

Key benefits include:

  • Superior heat rejection to keep your cabin cooler and reduce A/C usage

  • Up to 99% UV protection, helping protect your skin and interior from sun damage

  • Reduced glare with excellent clarity for safer day and night driving

  • No signal interference with GPS, Bluetooth, or radio (non-metallic film)

  • Long-lasting durability that won’t fade, bubble, or turn purple

  • Clean, modern appearance without a reflective or mirrored look

Ceramic Pro Kavaca delivers real performance you can feel every time you drive—while maintaining a premium, factory-style finish.

Are there legal restrictions on window tinting in New York?

Tint darkness is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT) — the higher the percentage, the more light passes through (lighter tint).

  • New York has some of the stricter VLT requirements in the U.S. to ensure visibility and safety.

  • Windshield:
    Non-reflective tint is only allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. The rest must allow ≥ 70% light to pass through.

  • Front Side Windows (driver & passenger):
    Must allow at least 70% VLT. Darker films (like 50%, 35%, 20%, 5%) are illegal on these windows.

  • Rear Side Windows:

    • For cars/sedans: Must allow at least 70% VLT.

    • Some interpretations allow darker rear side tint on SUVs/vans if the vehicle has dual outside mirrors, but always double-check local enforcement.

  • Rear Window (rear windshield):
    Any tint darkness is allowed if the vehicle has mirrors on both sides.

How long does it take to tint my vehicle's windows?

The duration of a window tinting job depends on the size of the vehicle and the number of windows. However, most window tinting jobs can be completed within a few hours.

How long will my window tint last?

When professionally installed, Ceramic Pro Kavaca window tint is designed to last for the life of your vehicle.

  • Resist fading, discoloration, and purpleing
