- Premium Films, Expert Installation & UV Protection
Tired of squinting through bright sunlight while driving? Maybe your car interior is fading from UV rays. Or you just want more privacy and a sleeker look. Window tinting in Calgary solves all these problems.
Stealth Windshield Repair offers professional automotive window tint services with premium films, expert installation, and prices that fit your budget.
Why get professional tint instead of DIY kits? Here's why it matters.
Front Windshield Rules
Alberta law only allows a small strip of tint at the top of your windshield. Full windshield tint is not legal. Medical exemptions can allow more coverage in rare cases. We make sure every job is fully legal.
Front Side Windows
Alberta law does not allow any aftermarket tint on the front side windows (driver and passenger). We follow this rule 100%, so your front windows remain fully legal.
Rear Side Windows
There is no legal limit on the darkness of the rear side windows. You can go as dark as you want. Limo tint is allowed here.
Back Window (Rear Windshield)
There is also no legal limit on rear window tint, as long as your vehicle has side mirrors. Full privacy tint is allowed and is a popular choice for maximum privacy.
Medical Exemptions
Some rare medical conditions allow a darker tint on certain windows. We can guide you through the exemption process if needed.
Take care of your tint, and it lasts longer. Simple rules to follow.
Wait Before Rolling Windows Down
Fresh tint needs 3-5 days to cure fully. Don't roll windows down during this time. Gives adhesive time to bond properly.
Clean Gently
Use soft cloths only. Mild soap and water. Never use ammonia-based cleaners. They damage tint film. No abrasive scrubbers.
Avoid Sharp Objects
Don't scrape ice off tinted windows with metal scrapers. Don't let pets scratch the film. Gentle treatment prevents damage.
Park in Shade When Possible
Extreme heat accelerates film aging slightly. Parking in shade when you can helps tint last longer.
Tint longevity depends on film quality and installation. Here's what to expect.
Proper installation by professionals ensures maximum lifespan. DIY kits rarely last more than a year before problems start.
Dyed Film Lifespan
Budget dyed film typically lasts 3-5 years. Can fade to purple over time. Starts bubbling eventually. Needs replacement sooner.
Metalized and Carbon Film
Mid-range films last 5-7 years with proper care. More fade-resistant. Better durability. Solid middle-ground lifespan.
Ceramic Film Duration
Premium ceramic tint lasts 10+ years easily. Often lasts the life of your vehicle. Doesn't fade. Doesn't bubble. Best long-term value despite higher upfront cost.
Factors That Affect Lifespan
Calgary's climate with extreme temperature swings affects tint. Quality of installation matters hugely. How you care for it makes a difference, too.
We follow proven steps for bubble-free, long-lasting results.
