| Shade | Visible light transmitted Visible light transmitted. Share of visible light that passes through the glass and film. Lower is darker. | Visible light reflected, outside Visible light reflected, outside. Share of light the window reflects outward: how mirror-like it looks from outside. | Total solar energy rejected Total solar energy rejected. Share of the sun's total energy (heat) kept out. Higher is cooler. | Ultraviolet blocked Ultraviolet blocked. Share of ultraviolet light blocked, the part that fades interiors and harms skin. |

What the column names mean
- VLT
- Visible light transmitted. Share of visible light that passes through the glass and film. Lower is darker.
- VLR out
- Visible light reflected, outside. Share of light the window reflects outward: how mirror-like it looks from outside.
- TSER
- Total solar energy rejected. Share of the sun's total energy (heat) kept out. Higher is cooler.
- UV
- Ultraviolet blocked. Share of ultraviolet light blocked, the part that fades interiors and harms skin.
Figures are measured on single-pane clear glass; results on your windows will vary. The number in a shade's name is nominal; VLT is the measured light transmission.
Darkness limits for cars are set by each state. Check your state's tint law before choosing a shade.
Visualize the shades: tint preview and heat rejected
The tint preview shows how each shade darkens the view from inside (visible light transmission, VLT); screens vary, so use it as a guide. Heat rejected is total solar energy rejected (TSER): higher is cooler.
