WHO WE ARE

At Shaded Shields, your trusted window tinting experts, we often get questions about tint percentages—like 35% or 50% window tint. These numbers refer to Visible Light Transmission (VLT), which is how much light can pass through the tinted glass. For example, a 35% window tint allows 35% of visible light to enter your vehicle, offering a great balance of privacy and visibility. A 50% tint is lighter, while darker tints (like 20% or 5%) provide more privacy. No matter which shade level you choose, high-quality tinting—like our carbon and ceramic options—ensures you can still see clearly from inside your car. If you're searching for professional car window tinting in the Carbondale area, we’re here to help you choose the perfect shade. 

 In window tinting, Infrared (IR) rejection measures how effectively a film blocks heat-causing infrared rays. For example, a tint with 45% or 80% IR rejection blocks that percentage of infrared heat, helping keep your vehicle’s interior significantly cooler. High IR rejection not only improves driver and passenger comfort. but also reduces air conditioning use, enhances fuel efficiency, and protects interior materials from heat damage. When choosing a window tint, look for films with high IR rejection ratings to ensure maximum heat reduction.

    There are three critical rules in the military. 

1). Always look cool

2). Never get lost 

3). And, if ever you find yourself in violation of rule #2, insure that you're following rule #1!
