- Visible Light Reflected: The percent of total visible light to be reflected by a glazing system. Test method – ASTM E 903-82.
- VLT: Visible Light Transmitted or VLT is the percent of total visible light that passes through the glass.
- Total Solar Energy Absorbed: The percent of total energy to be absorbed by a glazing system. Solar absorbency is that portion of total solar energy neither transmitted nor reflected on glass. Test method – ASTM E 903-82.
- Emissivity: The ability of surface to absorb heat and to reflect it. The lower the emissivity, the less room heat is absorbed – the more heat is reflected back into the room.
- Shading Coefficient: The ratio of solar heat gain through a given glazing system to the solar heat gain under the same conditions for clear, unshaded double strength window glass (DSA). The shading coefficient defines the sun control capability of the glazing system.
- Ultra Violet (UV) Block: The percent of Ultra Violet radiation to be passed through a glazing system. Test method – ASTM D1003.
-
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: The total amount of solar energy that goes to the inside of the building by reflection and by absorption.
-
Total Solar Energy Rejected: The percent of solar energy rejected by a glazing system equals solar reflectance plus the part of solar absorption which is reradiated outward.
-
Total Solar Energy Reflected: The percent of total solar energy (300-2500 nanometers) to be reflected by a glazing system. Test method – ASTM E 903-82.
- Total Solar Energy Transmitted: The percent of total solar energy to be passed through a glazing system. Test method – ASTM E 903-82.
- U-Factor: The overall heat transfer coefficient of the glazing system, U -Factor is a measure of the heat transfer that occurs through the glazing system, and its outer and inner surfaces. The overall coefficient of heat transfer equals the reciprocal of R value.

Easy to setup an appointment. Got my car in the following week. Demonstrated the different tint materials which was helpful when making my decision. Very good customer service and they did a great job. My car looks great and it made a difference in temperature.

The technician showed up on time and did a beautiful job installing the opaque film to 4 glass panels in our front door. The applied film lets plenty of light in but obscures anyone at the front door and gives us privacy.

I’ve had multiple vehicles tinted by A1and they’ve always done a great job. Their scheduling reminders are great! I have referred this company to friends and family, and they’ve all been satisfied.

A1 tinting did a great job on our new garage windows. They were here very quickly after my original call, and the price was very fair. The service man showed up on time, and he completed the project very quickly. I definitely recommend A1 Tinting!!

I recently had my windows tinted at A-1 Window Tinting and, as always, they did a fantastic job. After leaving, I noticed the rear windows weren’t as dark as we had discussed. I called them, and without hesitation, they cleared the schedule to get me back in right away. Their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction are unmatched. This is the third vehicle I’ve brought to them over the years, and I continue to make the 45-minute drive because I simply won’t go anywhere else.
Highly recommended!
