35% vs 20% vs 5% Window Tint! What tint is best for you? by Ryan Mayer
​It is no wonder that we are living in an era where obsession has become the new modernity and a necessity of life. Similarly, with the progress and modernization in other lifestyles, most of us are obsessed with cars and their upgrading. Around 88% of the United States’ total population own personal vehicles and want to keep their cars up to date. 
 
However, there are several ways to keep your cars up to date, and one of the most common yet trendy ways is to tint the windows. But before you tint your car, you need to have some background knowledge about the percentages of window tint. Moreover, window tinting is not limited to enhancing a vehicle but also offers several advantages. In some parts of the world, however, window tinting is a necessity. 
 
One of the main advantages of tinted windows is protection from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Moreover, tinted windows are also connected with the privacy of the passenger. Tinted windows are also helpful in reducing the interior temperature and increase the life of your property. 

Available colours for window tinting​
​When it comes to choosing the tint colour for your car windows, you have many options. These colours include black, charcoal, grey, gold, and bronze. But among all of them "black is the new modern" and very popular. The reason is that black is very effective against UV rays and plays a significant role in protecting your privacy. Moreover, no colour can compete with the elegance and beauty of black colour. 
 
Once you are done with the colour decision, now the most important part is to decide what percentage of window tint you go for? Since tints are the latest popular addition to the market so many of you might not know about the different percentages of window tinting that suits your car and the perfect style and combination of window tinting for your car. 

Window Tint Percentage Examples

​So far, we have so many types of window tints, and the percentages can range from 10% to 90%. But keep in mind that it is not allowed to tint your windows 5%, as this is against the law. However, if you want a low tint (5%), then there would be some exceptions. Below are the most popular tinting types.

  • No tint: However, this is not a tint, as it merely indicates a car without any additional film on the car window. You will enjoy a clear view, but at the same time, the UV rays that hit directly on the car window can affect you and also the interior of your car. Sometimes you may also encounter glare while driving. In addition, your car will absorb more heat in the summer and become vulnerable to you. 
  • 50% tinting: This is the best tint percentage of all. However, this percentage does not create a darker effect inside your vehicle, nor does it completely block the UV rays. Nevertheless, it is an excellent source of blocking a large portion of the UV rays coming directly from the sun. It also lowers a considerable amount of heat inside your vehicle. 
  • 35% tinting: This tint is much better than the 20 % tinting because it will not be difficult for you to see through the windows. It will also give you a darker appearance inside your car so that you can enjoy your privacy with ease. Overall, your car will have a sleek and alluring look that will help enhance your vehicle and offer many other benefits. 
  • ​20% tinting: This percentage of tint allows you to see through the windows at a closed distance, but it will be difficult for you to see a distant object. Therefore most people will not choose this percentage of window tinting. 
 
  • 5% tinting: This percentage of tinting is illegal, but it is allowed in some exceptional cases, such as in limousines. This percentage blocks the full view, and you cannot see through the windows. This leads to a high degree of privacy but is still not allowed. 

In conclusion, the tint not only changes the style of your car but also increases the durability of your vehicle by blocking the harmful effects of UV rays. 
 
Since we discussed above that 5% window tinting is illegal in some regions of the world, you may now be thinking why?
 
A 5% tint becomes a barrier to clear vision. This will lead to an increased number of accidents. For safety reasons, 5 % tinting of your car is illegal in many countries. Besides, a wholly obscured view inside the car will be an obstacle to public safety, as it will not allow police and federal authorities to investigate inside the car during the flow of traffic.

How to select the ideal percentage of window tint?
​Now you know about the types of tinting and have already selected the colour shade. The next step is to choose the right percentage of window tint for your car. 
 
As mentioned previously, some states do not allow tinted cars at all, while some states restrict the use of tint percentages so you can choose the type of tint you want depending on which state you live in. However, if you have a vision problem, it is better not to go for 20% or 35% tinting, as in this case, 50% tinting is the best option for your car. 
 
An exception is Limousine; if you own a limousine, then you have a chance to get a 5 % tint for your car. 
 
Wrapping it up
 
So if you want to choose the right tint for your car first, you need to see what the local law of your state says. If the law allows you to tint, what percentage is allowed? Then you need to be sure that the percentage of tint you choose is not an obstacle to your vision. When you are done with all these concerns, you can choose the perfect tint for your windows.
