COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers to the questions St. Augustine customers ask us most often about window tinting, film options, and our services.
What is the best type of window tint for Florida's heat?
Ceramic tint is the top choice for Florida's intense heat. It offers the highest level of infrared heat rejection without using metallic materials that can interfere with GPS, cell signals, or toll transponders. Ceramic film also provides excellent UV protection and maintains optical clarity. For homeowners and businesses, solar control film from LLumar is highly effective at reducing solar heat gain through large glass surfaces.
Is window tinting legal in Florida?
Yes, window tinting is legal in Florida, but there are specific regulations regarding visible light transmission (VLT) percentages for different windows on a vehicle. Florida law allows front side windows to have a minimum of 28% VLT, rear side windows at 15% VLT, and rear windows at 15% VLT. We are familiar with Florida's tint laws and will help you choose a film that keeps your vehicle compliant while meeting your comfort and privacy goals.
How long does auto window tinting take?
Most auto window tinting jobs take between one and three hours depending on the number of windows and the complexity of the vehicle. Sedans and coupes are typically faster, while trucks, SUVs, and vans with more glass may take longer. We will give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment so you can plan accordingly.
How long does window tint take to cure?
Window tint typically takes three to five days to fully cure, though this can vary based on the film type and weather conditions. During the curing period, you may notice slight haziness or small water pockets, which is completely normal and will disappear as the film dries. We recommend avoiding rolling down your windows for at least 48 to 72 hours after installation.
Can window film help lower my home energy bills?
Yes. Residential window film is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy costs in Florida. By blocking solar heat before it enters through your windows, the film reduces the workload on your air conditioning system. Many homeowners see a noticeable reduction in their cooling bills, especially in rooms with large south or west-facing windows that receive direct afternoon sun.
Does window tinting protect against hurricane damage?
Safety and security window films are designed to hold glass together if it breaks, which can reduce the risk of injury from flying glass shards during a storm. While window film is not a replacement for hurricane shutters or impact-rated glass, it adds an important layer of protection and can help prevent glass from shattering inward during high winds or debris impact. It is a smart addition for any Florida home or business.
Do you tint boats and RVs in St. Augustine?
Yes. We tint marine vessels, RVs, motorhomes, vans, trucks, and commercial fleet vehicles. Florida's sun is especially harsh on the water and on long road trips, and our marine and specialty vehicle tinting services provide the same UV protection, heat rejection, and glare reduction that we deliver for passenger cars. Contact us to discuss your specific vessel or vehicle.
What is paint protection film and do I need it?
Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, durable urethane film applied to the exterior painted surfaces of your vehicle to protect against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, and minor scratches. It is virtually invisible and does not change the appearance of your vehicle. PPF is especially recommended for new vehicles, high-value cars, or anyone who drives frequently on highways where road debris is common. It is one of the best investments you can make to preserve your vehicle's finish and resale value.
How do I care for my window tint after installation?
After installation, wait at least 48 to 72 hours before rolling down your windows. When cleaning tinted windows, use a soft cloth or microfiber towel and an ammonia-free window cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaners that contain ammonia, as these can damage the film over time. With proper care, quality window film from LLumar will maintain its appearance and performance for many years.
Do you offer a warranty on your window film installations?
Yes. As an authorized LLumar dealer, we install film that is backed by LLumar's manufacturer warranty. Warranty terms vary by film type and application. We will walk you through the specific warranty coverage for the film you choose before your installation so you know exactly what is included. We also stand behind the quality of our installation work.
