When shopping for the right window tint in the Denver area, it’s tempting to look strictly at who offers the cheapest prices. It’s in our nature to find the best deal for any products we’re looking to buy. While price is certainly a major factor when shopping for your vehicle’s window tint, quality is the most important factor to consider. If you skimp on quality to save a buck in the beginning, you’ll often find yourself shelling out even more in the long run after having to remove and replace your window tint.

Here are four reasons not to sacrifice quality in window tint.

1) Low Grade Window Tint Fades (and even turns purple)

Denver gets over 300 days of sunshine a year, which is probably one of the reasons you’re interested in tinting your vehicle. With all that sunshine beaming down on your car window tint, it better be able to hold up to and withstand the sun’s effects. Turns out, that’s not the case when it comes to cheap window tint. Low grade tints will fade much more quickly than higher quality tints, resulting in ugly discoloration. One of the major reasons people invest in window tints are to improve a vehicle’s aesthetics, why put something cheap on that might possibly make your car or truck look uglier?

Unsurprisingly, cheap products yield cheap results. Window tinting is no exception to the rule. That’s not to say that a good deal can’t be found on an excellent window tinting product.

2) Cheap Tint Won’t Protect Your Vehicle

In conjunction with the first point, weak and cheap window tint can’t withstand the hard-hitting Colorado sun, which will quickly cause the tint to lose whatever UV protection it had to begin with. UV and infrared protection keep your vehicle cooler, your interior safe, and blocks harmful sun rays from hitting you and your passengers all day long. A higher-grade window film will be worth the initial investment and can save on your vehicle’s energy costs. Not to mention everyone in the vehicle will be more comfortable.

3) You’ll Pay More in the Long Run

As noted in the intro, lower quality window tint can actually be more expensive in the long run. Once the tint fades and becomes discolored and/or bubbled, removing the cheap tint can even be a hazard to your vehicle and can damage the paint. Also, removing and replacing the window tint isn’t free, and can waste more of your time and money.

4) Cheap Installation Means Cheap Service

If the company or person installing your window tint isn’t knowledgeable, they not only won’t do the best job possible, but they could be putting you at risk legally. Having an expert install your window tint is a no-brainer, and if they can’t tell you exactly what their tint products are and what percentage tint they offer, it’s best to keep shopping. Colorado has specific tint laws that must be adhered to, and if your installer doesn’t follow them appropriately, you could wind up with a fine or ticket. You’d also have to go through the process of removing and replacing your tint if it does not meet the legal limits.

It’s easy to see why cheap prices are appealing when looking for window tint, but it’s best to do your homework. If a deal seems a little to good to be true, it just might be, especially if the company can’t answer all your tinting questions.
