Film Type

Chicago summers bake and Chicago sun glares off every windshield on the Stevenson — the right window film turns your glass into a barrier that rejects heat, cuts glare and blocks the UV rays that fade your interior and reach your skin. At Chicago’s Tint Studio we hand-cut and install carbon and ceramic film for a factory-clean, bubble-free finish, and we’re an authorized Rayno film dealer.

We tint cars, trucks and SUVs by appointment at our shop on Kedzie Ave in Brighton Park, and we’re open late, seven days a week, so you can get it done around your schedule. Whatever you drive, you get straight advice on shade, film grade and the legal limits — and an install done right the first time.

Why It Pays Off

What You Get

Real Heat Rejection

Nano-ceramic and carbon films block infrared heat so your cabin stays noticeably cooler and your AC works less in traffic.

99% UV Protection

Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays — protecting your skin on long drives and stopping your dash and seats from fading.

Privacy & Security

Darker shades keep prying eyes off your interior and everything you leave inside the vehicle.

Factory-Clean Look

A smooth, non-purpling finish that sharpens the look of any car, truck or SUV.

Less Glare

Cut blinding sun and headlight glare for a safer, more comfortable drive day or night.

Authorized Rayno Film

We install premium Rayno carbon and ceramic films — backed by a film manufacturer warranty.

Illinois Tint Law

Legal Tint Limits in Illinois

Tint is measured by VLT — visible light transmission. The higher the %, the more light gets through. Here are the general limits for passenger vehicles in Illinois; we build every job to keep you street-legal.

Front Side Windows

More than 35% VLT
Sedans, SUVs and trucks alike — front sides must let more than 35% of light through.

Back Side Windows

35% (cars) · any (SUV)
Sedans: more than 35%. SUVs, vans and trucks can go as dark as you like.

Rear Window

35% (cars) · any (SUV)
Sedans: more than 35%. SUVs, vans and trucks: any darkness.

Windshield

Top strip only
Non-reflective tint above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line.

Reflection

35% max
Front and back side windows can’t be more than 35% reflective.

Medical Exemption

Available
Illinois allows medical exemptions for darker tint with the proper documentation.

These figures are general guidelines and can change; Chicago and Cook County enforce tint closely. We’ll confirm the current Illinois limits for your specific vehicle and make sure your install is compliant.

FAQ

Common Questions

Illinois lets front side windows pass more than 35% of light. On sedans the back and rear windows are also 35%; on SUVs, vans and trucks the back and rear glass can go as dark as you like. We build every job to keep you compliant while getting you as close to your goal as the law allows.

Most full-vehicle tints are done same-day in about an hour or two. We work by appointment, so call or DM us and we’ll set a time — we’re open until 11:30pm, seven days a week.

Both look great and block 99% of UV. Carbon gives you strong heat rejection and a deep matte color at a great price; ceramic is the top tier — maximum infrared heat rejection with crystal-clear visibility. We’ll walk you through both.

No. Our carbon and ceramic films are non-metallic, so they won’t interfere with phone, GPS, radio or keyless-entry signals.
