Understanding tint percentages

 When it comes to getting your windows tinted you will come across tint percentages and wonder how dark or light would you like to go on your home , office or vehicle. Window film is measured by VLT- Vissible light transmission. The vissible light transmission levels are measured in percentages meaning the darker the film the lower the percentage for example 5% (aka limo) only lets in 5% of light and 50% letting in 50% of light .factory clear glass will meter out to be anywhere from 70% to 80% VLT.  Percentages of tint can vary depending On the particular brand manufacturer that is being used . So in at nutshell the lower the percentage the darker the film and the higher the percentage the lighter the film.
