20 tint
Discover our range of 20% window tint for buildings and vehicles. Films cut to size and full rolls, with delivery across the US. 20 percent tint is a window film labelled by its Visible Light Transmission (VLT). The films in this section carry the 20% label; measured VLT is 21–23% depending on the model, so they pass about a fifth of the visible light and block 77–79% of it. The glass stays see-through from the inside — it does not turn opaque.
It's a popular choice: dark enough to cut the glare and to keep the inside out of view from the street, light enough to see out. For a detailed description of products and features, please see the tint for window section of our website.
Advantages of 20 percent window tint
A 20% tint rejects 83–84% of total solar energy (TSER) while still letting about a fifth of the daylight through, so it works without turning the room dark.
- Sun Protection: The mirrored surface reflects 45–58% of the visible light back, depending on the model, and the film rejects 83–84% of total solar energy (TSER) — less solar heat gets into your vehicle or building.
- UV Protection: Blocks 99% of UV radiation.
- Privacy: Provides privacy by concealing the interior of your vehicle or space.
We offer our customers a selection of 20 window tint options for buildings:
- Strata 20 tint — an interior mirrored film for sun control.
