You have finally decided to have your car tinted! But, because you want only the best for your prized property, you may have wondered, when can you get the best deal in car tinting? Does the time or season you have yours installed matter? Well, the short answer would be an outstanding yes.

Did you know that the weather and season of when you choose to have the window tints installed matter on the quality of the installation, the end result, its lifespan and as well as the price?

Before you book a date with your chosen professional tinting company, here are the things you have to know and consider on when is the perfect time for you to have your car windows tinted.

Tinting during Summer

The summertime is generally warmer, which is actually a plus for car tinting. According to experts, the higher the temperature is, the tint will dry down and “cure” faster naturally. But, as the humidity also rises, it can compromise the actual application of the films. High humidity can effect the way tint adheres to windows.

Many people actually want their cars be tinted come summertime to have access to tinting’s benefits to its passengers: lessen or get rid of the sun’s glare, keep the vehicle cooler and protect the interiors from premature deterioration caused by the sun.

Tinting during Spring

Tinting during spring is actually advisable. It is usually neither too hot or too cold—the temperature is just enough to ‘cure’ the tints, while the not-so-chilly breeze will not affect the adhesives of the films.

However, some areas and regions actually experience rain showers during springtime. Since some of the car tinting installations should be done outdoors, the drizzle might delay the process.

The spring is usually a good time in most areas because it is neither too hot or too cold. You may find in some southern areas that humidity can be an issue. Spring can also bring rain and if you are having the windows of your car tinted and it needs to be done outside, that could be a problem.

Tinting during Autumn

The cold breeze that autumn brings is the ideal for car window tinting, and in most areas, it is actually the most advisable time to have your schedule. But, since it can be colder in some regions than most, the cold can actually affect the ‘curing’ process of tinting.

Tinting during Winter

The cold temperature and the snowy surroundings doesn’t mean you wouldn’t need that extra layer of privacy and protection that window tints bring about.

Moreover, different natural factors such as the sun, the roads and other vehicles doesn’t vary despite the change in season, hence, if anything, you might need to be tinting your car windows now more than ever.

Did you also know that window tints also help in retaining the heat inside?

Tints act like insulating layers by trapping interior heat inside the car during the winter. When the heat hits your window from outside, the heat travels through the glass and transfers to the air and other objects that may be in contact with the window. This process is called Conduction.

Since you don’t need that much heat, (thanks to the tints acting as insulators), you can save up money, fuel and energy.

Many tinting companies offer great deals during the season. Because majority of car-owners think that the summer time is the perfect time to have their car windows tinted, the winter is usually a slow time for tint shops.

Because of the lack of demand and for the holiday discounts, you can score great deals and lower fees when you have your vehicle tinted during this season.

At the end of the day, the quality of the tinting application boils down to your chosen company. Keep in mind that an experienced tint installer will take your area’s climate into consideration when they are choosing the tint that will best suit your needs. They should be able to take all of these factors into consideration and give you their best recommendations so you will end up with the best result.
