We Stick It Where The Sun Shines!™
Automotive Film
Types of films offered:
Dyed based, which are your traditional black window films. They are color stable which means it comes with a warranty against turning blue or purple and it is a fade resistant film. This film rejects heat at 36% with a film with a visible light transmission of 32%.
Metalized. Metalized films are produced by taking bulk transparent metal flakes and sputter coating it onto a glue, which gives great optical clarity and the relfective appearance. Metalized films are NOT your dated 80's silver window films however. They do have a great appearance and out perform a dyed based films. Metal based films block out more heat than a dyed based film, and will never break down from constant UV exposure and triple digit heat. Our Metal based films reject 56% of heat with a film of visible light transmission of 32%.
Ceramic. Ceramic films are the wave of the future, they have a unique timeless appearance that is undescribable, and they out perform any other film on the market. Ceramic films block out heat through convection so you can achieve high heat rejection without installing a dark film, and there is very little reflectivitiy. Our ceramic based films are the only dual ply films on the market, they are exclusive through AUTOSHADES, Inc. and are the only films with this low of reflectivity. All non-Huper Optik ceramic films are single ply films which will result in high levels of reflectivity. Our Ceramic film rejects 63% of heat and 86% of Infrared rays with a film of visible light transmission of 30%.
State Laws:
RCW 46.37.435 states a.) The maximum level of film sunscreening material to be applied to any window, except the windshield, shall have a total reflectance of thirty-five percent or less, plus or minus three percent, and a light transmission of thirty-five percent or more, plus or minus three percent, when measured against clear glass resulting in a minimum of twenty-four percent light transmission on AS-2 glazing where the vehicle is equipped with outside rearview mirrors on both the right and left. Installation of more than a single sheet of film sunscreening material to any window is prohibited. The same maximum levels of film sunscreen material may be applied to windows to the immediate right and left of the driver on limousines and passenger buses used to transport persons for compensation and vehicles identified by the manufacturer as multi-use, multipurpose, or other similar designation. All windows to the rear of the driver on such vehicles may have film sunscreening material applied that has less than thirty-five percent light transmittance, if the light reflectance is thirty-five percent or less and the vehicle is equipped with outside rearview mirrors on both the right and left.
What this means in lamens terms: Cars cannot be darker than 35% and MPV's (Trucks, SUV's and Minivans) must have 35% on the two front doors and may have darker film in the rear portion of the vehicle.
Oregon State Window Tinting Law is different from Washington State. Oregon measures the shading in the glass from the manufacturer and the after market film installed. The combination of the glass and the aftermarket film can not measure below 35% on sedans, and 35% on the front two doors of MPV's. For Oregon Residents we must install a lighter film to keep vehicles within legal limits. We use 38% film for Oregon Residents.
