Meaning of Various Percentage Tint
Now you can visualize a certain percentage of window tint using the tools. But what do they mean? Here is what they mean practically:
0% window tint meaning
0 percent window tint is the darkest imaginable shade on the visible light transmission (VLT) scale for window film. This means that it allows the least amount of light to pass through the window, making it almost completely opaque. This type of window tint is often used in commercial or government vehicles for added privacy. However, it is important to keep in mind that using 0 percent tint can make it difficult to see out of the window, particularly at night or in low light conditions. As a result, it is illegal to use 0 percent tint on the front windows of a vehicle in all states except Michigan in the USA because of safety concerns.
3% window tint meaning
A window with a 3% tint is one that has been treated with a film or coating that only allows 3% of the visible light spectrum to pass through it. This means that the window is blocking or rejecting 97% of the light that hits it. This level of tint is still very dark, and can significantly reduce the amount of light that enters a room or vehicle. It is often used to block out glare, reduce heat and UV radiation, or provide privacy. We can find tinted windows in a variety of settings, including homes, offices, and rear and side windows of luxury cars. It’s illegal to use 3% tint on front windows of a vehicle in all states in the USA except Michigan.
5% window tint meaning
A window with 5% tint darkness has a film or coating applied to the glass that blocks out 95% of the visible light spectrum, allowing only 5% of the light to pass through. This means that the window appears much darker than a window without a tint, as much of the light is being absorbed or reflected by the tint rather than being transmitted through the glass. This percentage of tint is also called the ‘’limo tint’’ as this type of tint is often found on rear windows in Limousine cars. However, 5% window tint is illegal to use on the front window of a vehicle in all states except Michigan in the USA as of now.
10% window tint meaning
A window tinted with a 10% film will only allow 10% of the normal amount of light to pass through. This level of tint is not the darkest option on the market, but it is still quite dark and effective in blocking UV rays and providing privacy. This percentage of tint is also illegal to apply on front windows of any vehicle in all the states except Michigan in the USA.
12% window tint meaning
A window is tinted with a 12% film means that only 12% of the light will pass through the window. This tint is certainly not the darkest option available, but it is still quite dark and will effectively block out ultraviolet rays and provide a certain level of privacy. It is a good choice for those who want some protection from the sun and a bit of added privacy without blocking the view. Like the other percentage mentioned above, 12% tint is also illegal to apply on front windows of any vehicle in all states except Michigan in the USA.
