Is factory tint the same as aftermarket tint?

Factory tint vs Aftermarket Tint?

First off, what is it? Factory tint is simply tinted glass. Unlike aftermarket tint which is a film that is applied to the inside of the window, factory tint is a pigment inside of the glass. This tint cannot be removed or directly altered. The typical visual light transmission (VLT) of the glass is 15-26%. Factory tint can be found on the rear windows of most new SUVs and trucks. The main goal of factory tint is to provide privacy for the vehicle’s passengers.

Although factory tint may look similar to aftermarket tint, it most certainly is not the same. The tint may be dark, but it does not have the same benefits as aftermarket tint. Our Rayno window tint blocks up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, while factory tint blocks virtually none. Factory tint also does not block heat from entering the vehicle like our automotive tint does.

So what Bluemax Tint can do for you? Our professional window tint technician can either match your front windows with your factory tinted rear windows. (please check the tint laws first  )

 Or a lighter tint can be used on the factory tinted windows so the appearance is not drastically altered. In fact, we have several window tint levels to meet your wants and needs. Visit our tint page to learn more about the different types of tint that we offer. a bluemaxautotint.com/tint-shades.
