Get Semi Truck Window Tint in Chicago: Super Fast, Top Quality Films!

Why install semi truck window tint?

Semi truck today belongs to a category of super modern commercial motor vehicles that are specially designed for very long journeys. Though the comfort of the cabin can be determined by the car manufacturer itself, the windows don’t always have the needed protection. Truck drivers unlike any other road users are sensitive to sun exposure, glare and heat: sometimes they spend days on the highway. 

That’s why both the windshield and the side windows of a semi-truck must have quality films installed. The choice of options is very broad— from colored or tinted glazing to sunray tint, from polarized films to high-tech carbon or ceramic ones. Here at Tinting Chicago, we have a special demonstration stand with the most popular films: you can always pop into one of our shops for a free consultation and examination.

Semi-truck window tint: types of films

Same as for the other commercial or passenger vehicles, films that are used for semi-truck window tinting belong to a few main categories:

Sun blocking window films

Are specially designed to protect car windows from exposure to UV rays, radiation, and glare. The films that we work with provide optimal protection, up to 98%. It means that almost zero harmful solar energy will get through the windows. This does not just protect the driver, but also significantly reduces the temperature inside the car, creating an extra layer of comfort for those long journeys.

Tinting Chicago offers a top-quality 3M Crystalline range of tinting film products. This legally compliant 70%-plus VLT tinting film rejects up to 60% of solar energy,  and up to 97% of infrared rays, that causes heat, and blocks 99% of ultraviolet (UV), providing a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 1000.

Carbon and ceramic window films

The most technologically advanced solutions on the market. Containing carbon or ceramic nano-particles, these films are super strong, but also don’t get those dangerous sun rays through. By being the top quality and durability, they are also one of the most expensive ones.

Semi truck window tint laws

Semi-trucks don’t fall under the same laws as other vehicles: their side windows can be tinted with films of 70% visual light transmission (as opposed to 50% for passenger vehicles). As for the windshield, it can also have a minimum of 70% VLT film installed (while for passenger cars it is strictly prohibited, only a 6-inch stripe is allowed).
