Did you know that there is a shortage of window tinting specialists? It is true. The job of tinting windows is both a skill and an art. There is no one, cookie-cutter, way to tint a window. Every tint job, every project, every vehicle is different and presents unique challenges.  

If you thought that adding a tint to the windows of your car was simply a matter of applying the film to the glass, like putting on the wallpaper, think again. Dealing with auto window tinting film, as well as residential and commercial tinting film can be rather complicated. It requires a facility for dealing with chemicals, in addition to being skilled with your hands.  

Given the nuances of window tinting, it becomes clear that there is a wide range of quality among those who provide window tinting services. Some may talk a good game, but at the end of the day, if their tinting people are not certified, have not had the proper training, or simply learned by doing at the shop, then you could end up spending money on a tinting project that needs to be completely redone.

In this article, we will take the time to discuss what it takes to know all there is to know about professional window tinting.  We will go into what window tinting specialists have to learn in order to truly be specialists.  

To the uninitiated, you might not realize that there are many different types of window film. Given that the technology has advanced so dramatically in the last few years, window tinting specialists have to stay up on all of the latest technology.  

Some of the differences that a specialist needs to know include differences between window film used for curved glass surfaces like car windows, compared to window film for flat glass surfaces, which is used for residential and commercial windows.  

Beyond film that is purposed to adhere to flat or curved surfaces, each window film product can come in different thicknesses, with different chemical compounds inside. For example, some window films use metal to create the required tinting effect, while others employ tiny particles of ceramic to tint the window, while also providing heat rejection and UV-protection elements.

In sum, a true window tinting specialist understands the different types and compositions of various window film products. In addition, the specialist will know what installation tricks to use with certain films and not others.

All tinting is not the same shade. Rather, window tint film is measured by the amount of light that goes through a window. You can, in case you did not realize, get different shades of tint, all the way to “clear” tint.  (Those customers who get clear tint want to film for their windows to enjoy the UV-protection, and heat-prevention that window film provides).

But, when you are considering how dark to tint your window, you need to know about VLT – Visual Light Transmission. The higher the VLT percentage, the lighter the shade of tint. It may sound counter-intuitive, but a window film with 70% VLT, means that it allows 70% of light to get in. That film will be a lighter shade than a window tint film with 30% VLT, which only allows 30% of light in.  

Of course, window tinting specialists need to know all about VLT to guide you, the customer, as to what is best for you.

Another thing a window tinting specialist needs to understand is what the local tinting laws are. Indeed, each province (and sometimes specific municipalities) have different guides for how much VLT is legal. So window tinting specialist can accurately advise their customers as to what is permissible where they live, they must know and keep up to date on the laws with regard to what tinting is legal.

In short, this blog merely scratches the surface as to the specialized knowledge required of someone who installs window tint film.
