While visitors to Florida may enjoy a trip down south to thaw out, those of us who live here all-year long must find ways to mitigate the heat, and tinted windows are just one of the tricks available to keep our cars and truck cabs from turning into ovens in sunny weather.
However, as much as many of us would like to completely block off our windows with the darkest tint possible, it’s important to adhere to Florida statutes when tinting your ride. To help you keep your vehicle’s tint up to code, we’ve put together some important terms and statutes to keep in mind.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Important Window Tint Terms” alignment=”left” main_heading_margin=”margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Reflectance: The percentage of total light reflected by your window tint.
