Window Tint Shades & Types
Carbon crystalline tint
window tint 5 %
When it comes to window tinting, the different shades of tint are expressed as a percentage. The darkest shade of tint available is 5%, meaning only 5% of light is able to pass through. 5% window tint is commonly found on limousines, hence its popularized name, limo tint.
Window Tint 20 %
The second darkest shade, and most popular tinting percentage for back windows in vehicles, is 20%. This percentage offers an excellent level of privacy, and adds an attractive element of style to your windows. With regards to window tinting Ontario law states that the front windows in vehicles can only be as dark as 30% tint; however, 20% tint often passes undetected, as it is a bit of a grey area (pun intended).
Window tint 30 %
One of the most popular tint levels for cars for people who wish to abide by the window tint laws in Ontario is 30%. This shade is often installed in the front with 20% in rear vehicle windows. Applying two different window tinting percentages on cars front and rear windows is called a 2/3 split.
