Tired of a hot car interior during those scorching Tennessee Summers? Or a lack of privacy when driving your vehicle? Tinting your car windows can help!


Choosing to get a window tint is step one in the process, but making sure you have the right gradient tint for your car and its aesthetic is key.


Read on to learn more about tinting your car windows.

What is Gradient Tint?

Gradient tinted windows are a type of film placed on your car windows that comes in various materials and shades. Different types of window tint are designed to darken car windows which helps to diminish UV lights and heat.


Depending on the visible light transmission of your vehicle, you can choose from lighter to darker shades. The darker the shade, the less light transmission comes through your windows which means fewer UV rays and sun glare.

Benefits of Window Tint

Besides improving your car aesthetics, legal window tint has numerous benefits. Some even for your health.

1. Lower the Internal Temperature of Your Car

Instead of waiting what can feel like forever for your AC to cool down, your car-tinted windows help prevent an unbearably hot vehicle.


Window tint blocks out the heat from the sun's glare and, in turn, blocks out some of its rays from heating the interior of your car.

2. Save On Gas

The less AC you use, the less gas is used as well. With the help of legal window tint, you can prevent blasting your AC to try and cool down your car. Because your AC runs on your car fuel, the less you use it, the better.

3. Aesthetics and Privacy

Darkened window tint can create a stylish look for your car and prevent others from seeing into your vehicle.


With that extra layer of film, your privacy and security are greatly enhanced. You can dance to your favorite tune without the feeling like everyone is watching.


Tinted windows heighten the security of your car by reducing the chance of someone breaking in and stealing your belongings.

4. Protect Your Skin

Not only do tinted windows reduce the glare of the sun but also its UV rays. Numerous health benefits are gained from adding a gradient tint, such as protecting your skin and eyes from harmful UV exposure.


Some people with medical issues are encouraged to get window tint, and the Skin Care Foundation even recommends it.
