Why tint
Our window film
Dark glass is the part you see. The part you feel is heat, UV and glare, and that comes down to the film, not just the shade.
Ceramic IR blocks the infrared you feel as heat on your skin, so the cabin stays cooler and the AC stops fighting the sun.
Protects leather, dash and trim from fading and cracking. And your arm on the Mass Pike.
Low morning sun and high beams stop washing out your view.
What’s in the car stays out of sight, within Massachusetts limits.
The films
Both films are Ceramic Pro, so there’s never a question of who stands behind them. Carbon for the look, ceramic for the heat.
The clean, deep-black look at the most approachable price. Non-metal carbon film, so no signal issues.
Best forThe blacked-out look on a budget
Nano-ceramic film with an infrared-rejecting layer that blocks up to 96% of IR heat. The one for summer traffic.

The warranty
Lifetime.
Both films carry Ceramic Pro’s limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. Ceramic Pro only offers it through certified installers, and it covers the things that make cheap tint look cheap.
Covered for life
Ask every shop two things: what brand of film is it, and what does the warranty cover if it fades, bubbles or turns purple?
Limited lifetime warranty on the film, per Ceramic Pro’s terms. It covers manufacturer defects, not installation workmanship or physical damage like scratches.
Massachusetts tint law
Tint gets checked at your annual state inspection. We’ll walk you through what the law allows on your vehicle before we cut any film.

Yes. While the film cures it can look hazy or streaky, or show small water blisters. That goes away on its own, usually within 1 to 4 weeks depending on temperature and how much sun the car gets. If something hasn’t cleared after that, call us.
