AUTOMOTIVE WINDOW TINTING IN SALADO, TX

Try Our Window Tint Simulator

Our simulator lets you preview five common shades before you book: 5%, 15%, 25%, 50%, and 70%. That percentage refers to visible light transmission, or how much light passes through the tint. A lower number means a darker, more private tint, such as 5%, while a higher number like 70% is much lighter and barely changes the look of your glass, focused more on heat and UV performance than a dramatic visual change. Use the simulator to see how each option looks on your vehicle before deciding.

Window Tint Laws in texas

Texas requires front side windows to allow more than 25% visible light transmission (VLT). Rear side windows and the rear window may have any darkness as long as the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides. The windshield may only have a non-reflective tint strip above the AS-1 line (or the top 5 inches if there is no AS-1 line). Front side windows and the windshield tint strip must have 25% or less reflectivity, and red, blue, and amber tint colors are not permitted. Our team will help you choose a tint that keeps your vehicle stylish, comfortable, and compliant with Texas law.

Why Tint Type Makes a Difference

Not all window tint is built the same, and the type you choose changes both the look and the performance you get. Here is how our two options compare.

Carbon Window Tint

Carbon tint gives you a clean, dark appearance with dependable heat rejection at an accessible price point. It resists fading better than older dye-based tints and does not carry the slight purple or blue cast that cheaper tints can develop over time, making it a solid, no-frills option for drivers who want real performance without paying for the most advanced technology available.

Ceramic Window Tint

Ceramic tint uses more advanced nano-ceramic particles to block infrared heat significantly more effectively than carbon, all while remaining completely non-conductive, so it will not interfere with radio, GPS, or other in-vehicle electronics. It also holds its color and clarity longer, which makes it the stronger long-term investment for drivers who plan to keep their vehicle for years.

Both options are installed with the same careful, bubble-free process, so the decision really comes down to how much performance you want and what you are comfortable spending. Our team is happy to walk you through the difference in person before you decide.

Texas sets legal limits on how dark your tint can be. See the Texas Department of Public Safety's window tint guidance for the current rules, or ask our team for help choosing a compliant option.
