Every option is Union Window Films film, carbon or ceramic — only the amount of light it lets through changes. Drag the handle across the glass to see the shade land, and we’ll sanity-check your choice against your own car and Florida law before anything is cut.
Florida asks for at least 28% VLT on the windows either side of the driver. Behind the driver, a car takes at least 15%; SUVs, trucks and vans take at least 6%. Shade also reads differently on every car, so we check it on your glass before we cut.
All our shades
Every tint shade side by side
Darkest first. The photograph is the same car each time, so what changes between these panels is only the film — which is the comparison a shade chart on a wall never gives you.
5% VLT15% VLTRear glass only
Dark, without going full limo.
A finished, blacked-out side profile that still lets you read the mirrors at night. The most popular choice for rear glass on trucks and SUVs.

20% VLTRear glass only
Clean daily-driver dark.
A popular dark finish with a little more light through the side glass — past most states’ front-window line, so it usually stays behind the doors.
Rear glass on a car you still park in the dark
35% VLTMost bookedLegal on front windows
The daily-driver balance.
Visible privacy, serious heat control, and a factory look front to back. Legal on every window in most states, which is why most cars leave wearing it.
One shade on every window, front to back
50% VLTLegal on front windows
Lighter shade, same comfort.
For drivers who want the heat and UV performance without changing how the car looks. Barely reads as tint from the outside.
Leases, company cars and anything kept factory-looking

Nearly clear ceramic.
A near-invisible ceramic layer built for windshields and light-sensitive drivers. All of the heat rejection, none of the darkness.

What tint percentages mean
What the tint percentage means
Every shade above is named after one measurement: VLT, the share of visible light the glass lets through. Get that number the right way round and the rest of the choice is easy.

The limit counts the film and the glass together
Your windows are already tinted from the factory — usually somewhere near 78%. A 35% film on that glass measures closer to 27%, which is how a legal-sounding shade fails a roadside check.
A lower number means a darker window
VLT is the share of visible light that gets through. 5% is limo dark and 70% is barely there, so the tighter a state writes its law, the higher the number it quotes.
Medical exemptions need paperwork
Most states allow a darker front shade with a signed medical exemption for light-sensitive conditions. It has to be kept in the vehicle, and the rules for it are state-specific.

What tint shades can I choose from?
From darkest to lightest: 5%, 15%, 20%, 35%, 50% and 70%. Darker shades give more privacy, lighter ones keep a factory look, and we make sure the front windows stay legal.
How dark can I tint my windows in Florida?
In Florida, the front side windows must let in at least 28% of light, and the rear side windows and back window can take at least 15%. On SUVs, trucks and vans, the rear windows can take at least 6%. We check the law for your car before we start.
Is ceramic tint worth it?
Yes, if heat matters to you. Ceramic film keeps more heat out without having to look darker: Union Ceramic IR blocks up to 87% of infrared heat, against 75% for Union Carbon IR.
When can I roll my windows down after tinting?
Keep them up for 3 to 5 days while the film dries, and wait a week before cleaning the inside of the glass. Use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner.
