Maine Tint Law Change

TintCenter tries to keep up to date with changes to state tint laws, but to be honest, it is quite hard to keep track of 50 states plus US territories all the time.  We missed a change that happened in Maine, which was pointed out by a R Harvey that resides most probably in Maine.

The Maine Tint Law originally required 50% VLT on all side and rear windows.  This new law revises the allowed darkness down to 35%.   Complete breakdown of the patchwork of laws that make up the enter Maine Tint law is available here.

Although we here at TintCenter honor the service of state and local police departments for their courage in service, we continue to believe that the dangers of over-exposure to sun and heat inside vehicles contribute to more human and animal deaths a year than the policemen killed due to a criminal pulling a gun in a tinted car.

Insulating Metal Garage Doors

Excellent and low-cost energy efficiency tip to keep a little more heat out from the garage.  Using simple insulating material can be applied to the panels on the garage door.  Additionally, window film can be applied to the windows to reject some more heat while still letting the natural sunlight in.

The only objection to the article is that it recommends purchasing window film from Lowes.  Lowes sells Gila brand film with is like the bastard step-child of prefessional grade film company called Llumar.  Professionals don’t use Gila film, and you should not either.

Look for pre-cut window tint companies like SnapTint.com, which is one of our advertising partners, that sells professional grade window film custom cut to the sizes you need.
