Questions
Window tint shade questions
What do the tint percentages mean?
The percentage is how much light the glass lets through. The lower the number, the darker the glass: 5% is the darkest Union shade and 70% is nearly clear.
Which shades are legal on my car in South Carolina?
On cars, 35%, 50% and 70% are legal on every side window and the rear glass. On SUVs, trucks and vans, the front side windows need 35% or lighter, and the windows behind the driver can be any shade, even 5%.
Does a darker shade keep the car cooler?
Not by itself. Infrared heat and UV are blocked by the film, so even 70% keeps the car cooler and blocks 99.99% of UV. A darker shade adds privacy and cuts more glare.
Can I see the shades before I choose?
Yes. The car near the top of this page shows all six Union shades: drag across the glass to compare clear and tinted, then pick a shade.
