Light, 50% to 70%
The glass stays nearly clear and the ceramic still keeps infrared heat out. Legal on every window.
Ceramic window tinting
Why choose ceramic window tint in Houston?
Keeps the most heat out
Ceramic IR keeps out 87% of infrared heat, the heat you feel on your arms through the glass.
Your phone still works
There is no metal in the film, so phone, GPS, radio and keyless entry work as before.
Cool even in a light shade
The heat it keeps out comes from the ceramic, not the darkness, so a lighter shade still works.
Blocks UV
99.99% of UV is blocked, so seats, leather and the dash fade far more slowly.
How it works
What is ceramic window tint?
Ceramic film carries tiny ceramic particles that stop infrared heat without darkening the glass. That is why a 35% or 50% ceramic film can still keep a car cooler than a darker standard film.
Shade and heat are two separate choices. Pick the darkness you like and the law allows, and the ceramic does the cooling.
What is included
- Ceramic IR on the side and rear windows
- Your choice of shade, 5% to 70%
- A windshield strip if you want one
- Taking off old tint, when you need it
What decides the price
- Your car and how many windows
- Ceramic IR on all windows or on some
- Whether old tint has to come off
- A windshield strip or full windshield film
How dark can you tint in Texas?
Texas lets you tint the front side windows to 25% or lighter. The back side windows and the rear window can be any shade. On the windshield, tint is allowed only on a strip across the top, down to the AS-1 line or 5 inches.

TB★★★★★I have had Alex tint several vehicles of mine many different times and have recommended him to many people. He is honest and very fair and by far does a great job on the tint. Keeps your vehicle clean and leaves no mess when he’s done. Absolute phenomenal work he does. I truly highly recommend his business.
Tyler Pellikan★★★★★Love the job they did on both of my cars. No complaints at all, quality work, and a very nice guy. He came to my house and did everything very professionally. I’ve had the tint on one of my cars for about a year now and there’s still no bubbling or any issues. Definitely happy with the work and would recommend them.
Saarym★★★★★Alex had the best price for carbon tint I could find after asking around. He charged $300 for a 4 door sedan and back windshield, and $60 to remove the previous tint. Scheduling was easy, and he was very responsive and helpful over text. The process itself took around 4 hours. Very happy with the result, he took his time and he also offers a lifetime warranty for any cracking, bubbling, or peeling.
