Virginia Tint Laws
Many of our customers have questions about Virginia tint laws. We will share them with you although these laws really apply on cars. For more questions please contact Winners Window Tint which is one of our partners.

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Virginia, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.
• Windshield | Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.

• Back Side Windows | Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Rear Window | Must allow more than 35% of light in.

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.
• Front Side Windows | Must not be more than 20% reflective.
• Back Side Windows | Must not be more than 20% reflective.
