Why are window tinting more demanding by GTA drivers?

Drivers in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) are rapidly increasing the demand of window tinting
for maintaining their comfort zone, glare reduction, UV protection and most important privacy.
It reflects the harsh sunlight and makes tints highly desirable but while adding these tints we
should keep the traffic rules of Ontario Highway Traffic.

Following are the reasons:

Glare reduction is highly reflective glass of Toronto and the blinding glare off winter
snow can make driving hazardous, this helps to filter out harsh light and reduce eye
strains.

UV protection high quality window films which helps to block harmful UVA and UVB rays
from preventing sun damage to the driver skin and shopping car interior leather and
also protects from dashboard fading.

Heat management helps in tinting, deflects solar heat and keeps the interior cooler
during hot and humid summers in Ontario and significantly reduces the load on the
vehicle air conditioning system.

Many drivers in urban areas value the privacy to relax or enjoy their me time without
being stared at in stop and go traffic and it also obscures valuables from views.

How to choose the right type of window tint for a vehicle.

1) Before choosing which tint is best for your vehicle we need to know what are the laws related to applying tint in your region as there how dark (VLT%) your windows can be and from your vehicle front side window and windshield. First check your local rules and regulations before deciding on shade so at the end of the it will end up with fine which cost around $85-$500 and removal of tint wrap.

2) While applying or going for tint application you should identify your main priority what type of tint is required in your vehicle following can be reasons:
● Heat reduction you can go for ceramic or nano ceramic tint which is best infrared rejection
● You have option for budget friendly but in this category you will get dyed tint which is cheapest and fades over time and its also gives less heat rejection
● Signal-friendly + heat rejection in this ceramic tine work well as it doesn’t block GPS, bluetooth and any phone signals like metallic tint does.
● UV protection for skin and body interior as if ordinary tint is used it blocks UV rays but ceramic coating gives best results and it lasts for long term as well
● If you are driving mostly at night then lighter shades with high IR rejection work better as compared to dark tints.

3) Every vehicle is different so you need to identify which tint is best for your car,
● If it SUV and trucks which have large glass areas their benefits are more for ceramic tint as they consume higher heat load.
● If you have luxury vehicle with lots of electronic it should avoid metallic tint
● Daily commuter cars in this hot climate are recommended that they should buy ceramic for their cabin comfort.

Ontario laws for window tint everyone needs to understand.

Sometimes when we are installing or doing booking for window tint services we don’t look at rules and regulations which in return makes us remove it from our vehicle as it wastes our time and money both at that moment. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act has specifically regulation 596 which sets VLT% limits.
Basically here are some points which we should know
● Windshields cannot be tinted at all under Ontario law, except for a factory applied visor strip up to 75mm (3 inches) from the top. Front side windows are a separate rule and must allow at least 70% light transmission.”
● As to compare from the front side the rear side window and the rear windshield have fewer restrictions that fulfill visibility requirements.

When your vehicle is getting with tint installation make sure that a professional installer should have all the legal information and recommend a film that balances performances with compliance.
