Debunking common myths about window tinting for cars and homes

Whether you are a vehicle owner or a homeowner, you may have considered getting your windows tinted at one point or another. Like many people, you may be concerned about the legality or safety of tinted windows. 


Are you thinking of hiring professional automotive or residential window tinting services? Tintco North Bay debunks some of the most common myths that you may encounter on window tinting:



Automotive window tinting


Myth 1: Automotive Window Tinting is Illegal.

Automotive window tinting is legal in Ontario, albeit with a few regulations. While any tint darkness can be used for rear and back side windows, tint is not recommended for the windshield and front side windows can only be tinted up to 30%. 


Myth 2: Window Tinting Affects Visibility and Safety.

Automotive window tinting is designed specifically to maintain good visibility and improve the driver’s comfort while filtering out sun glare and the headlights of other cars.


Myth 3: Window Tinting Can Damage Your Car Windows.

If you want to avoid potential damage to your car and home, it is best to seek out the services of a professional window tinting company. Here at Tintco, our experts have both the expertise and the equipment required to avoid damaging your windows during tint installation and removal.


Myth 4: Window Tinting is Not Durable.

Modern tinting solutions use advanced technology and sophisticated processes designed to protect car and house tints from fading or peeling over time. 


Myth 5: Window Tinting is a Poor Defense Against Intruders.

While it is inadvisable to rely only on window films as your sole safety measure, they do still help to protect your windows from damage. When smashed, tinted windows won’t shatter into small pieces, preventing extensive damage and acting as a deterrent to potential intruders.
