Truck Window Tinting in Chicago: Your Truck Deserves the Best

What is truck window tinting?

Tinting is a process of application of vinyl films onto truck windows. It upgrades the look of the car and serves multiple safety and protection purposes. Pickup truck window tinting is not really different from any other types besides maybe the increased need for window protection. When the pickup truck is on duty, the window can be damaged or scratched and the rides can be long and expose the driver to exhausting sun rays.

Types of truck window tint

The main purposes of truck window tinting are privacy and UV protection. Tinting Chicago offers:

• Sun blocking window film. Protects from UV, glare, heat. Reduces temperature inside the truck, making the driver concentrate more on the road and less on any discomfort from the heat.
• Polarized window tint. Works similar to polarized sunglasses, providing an extra layer of comfort from ultraviolet protection. And it looks cool!
• Car privacy window film. Provides privacy for the driver and passenger and also reduces exposure to the sun
• Clear window tint. Invisible film with strong UV and radiation protection properties.

Tinting Chicago customers can also choose high-end “technological” films:

• Carbon window tint. Contains carbon nano-particles that reject heat and UV better than any other films. Gives windows of all vehicles a luxurious matte effect. Does not interfere with radio or WiFi signals.
• Ceramic window tint. One of the best technologies on the market with ultimate heat and UV rejection properties. Does not interfere with radio or WiFi signals.

3 rules of choosing the right window tint for your truck

1. Ask for professional help – There are so many different tinting options on the market today that it makes sense to ask a professionals before making the final choice. You can call Tinting Chicago 24/7 or book an appointment in the shop for a consultation, film demonstration (we have a special window display with the most popular tints installed) and a free estimate.
2. Explore sun protection properties – If your only goal is protection from glare and UV-rays — your choice is sun blocking or polarized films. Drivers that are looking for the highest quality and want an extra layer of strength and technology, install carbon or ceramic window tint (the most expensive of all). They both protect from solar rays and make your car window extremely strong. Often these films are metalized.
3. Choose film darkness according to law – The next step is to choose your film VLT, or visual light transmission which is set in a percentage (the lower the percentage, the less light that comes through the windows). In Chicago where our shops are based, the legal tint for all truck windows is 35%, but you can tint the rear window or the sunroof with films of any darkness. Backside windows can also have darker VLT than the front ones, and the windshield cannot be tinted at all. To protect the windshield from glare, you can install a sun visor strip of 6 inches wide. Installers in the shop will help you with the choice of legal tints in your area.
