Shade preview
Try a Tint Shade Before You Book
Switch between the common VLT levels to see how each one looks on glass. Florida limits apply, and our Florida window tint law guide lists the legal figures for each window.
5% VLT Our darkest film. Florida does not allow anything below 6% on side or rear windows, so 5% is not street legal here.
15% VLT Strong privacy. On a car or sedan, this is close to the darkest Florida allows on the back side and rear windows.
20% VLT A dark, private look for back side and rear glass. Too dark for front side windows, which need more than 28% in Florida.
Popular choice35% VLT A balanced everyday shade. Legal on Florida front side windows, with good outward visibility at night.
50% VLT A lighter tint that still cuts glare. A good fit if you want comfort and heat control without a dark look.
70% VLT Nearly clear. Pair it with ceramic film to block heat and UV while keeping the factory look of your glass.

What you gain
Ceramic Window Tint Benefits for Davenport Drivers
HEAT & UV PROTECTION
Ceramic film helps reduce solar heat entering the cabin while blocking UV rays that can contribute to interior fading and material wear.
REDUCED GLARE
By filtering harsh sunlight through the treated glass, ceramic tint can reduce distracting glare and make bright daytime drives more comfortable.
PRIVACY & CLEAN APPEARANCE
The right tint shade adds privacy while giving your vehicle a darker, more finished appearance without requiring an overly reflective look.
SIGNAL-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE
Ceramic film uses non-metallic construction, making it a practical option for vehicles that rely on GPS, Bluetooth, mobile connectivity, and other electronic signals.
INTERIOR PRESERVATION
UV and solar exposure can affect dashboards, seats, trim, and other interior surfaces over time. Ceramic film adds another layer of protection against prolonged sunlight.
CLEAR OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
Quality ceramic film can provide solar protection while maintaining clear visibility through the treated glass when you choose an appropriate shade.

Why Parked Cars in Davenport Need Heat Rejection, Not Just Shade
157°F
Dashboard after one hour in the sun
What a Sun-Parked Dashboard Reaches
A 2018 Arizona State University and UC San Diego study found that after one hour in the sun, parked cars in Tempe reached 116°F inside, with dashboards reaching 157°F. Davenport is different from Tempe, but the test shows how quickly sunlight can heat a closed vehicle. Ceramic window film helps address that solar energy at the glass.
99%
UVA and UVB blocked by quality film
The Driver’s Side Window Lets UVA Through
The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that side, rear, and sunroof glass may not block UVA as effectively as laminated windshield glass. Quality window film can block more than 99% of UVA and UVB, adding another layer of UV protection for Davenport drivers and their vehicle interiors.

Davenport growth, 2010 to 2020
A City That Tripled in a Decade
Davenport grew from 2,888 residents in 2010 to 9,043 in 2020, a 213.1% increase. The Central Florida Development Council reported about 100 new families arriving each month in January 2022. With more daily trips, school pickups, and errands, vehicles can spend more time parked under Florida’s sun.

Weekend Drives to Winter Haven and Clermont
Legoland Florida opened in Winter Haven on October 15, 2011, covering 145 acres on the former Cypress Gardens site. Nearby, Sugarloaf Mountain rises 312 feet in Lake County. Day trips to these destinations can mean hours of sun through the side and rear glass, making ceramic heat rejection useful for longer drives.

About Davenport, FL
Davenport sits in northeast Polk County near I-4 and US-27, and it has grown fast. Census QuickFacts counted 9,043 residents in 2020 and estimates 18,110 for 2025. Many of those drivers spend long stretches on I-4 and US-27, with the Central Florida sun on their glass for most of the year.
That is where ceramic window tinting earns its place. Ceramic film uses non-metallic particles to cut solar heat and UV without interfering with phone, GPS or keyless entry signals, and it keeps a clear view out at night. Dark Matter Tint installs Iridium (Ceramic Pro) Nano Ceramic Tint for Davenport drivers in shades that stay within Florida tint limits.

Know your film
Reading a Ceramic Tint Spec Sheet: IRR, TSER and VLT Explained
Ceramic tint performance can vary between films, even when they look similar. These specifications help you compare shades and understand what a film is designed to do.
| Metric | What It Measures | What to Ask |
|---|---|---|
| VLT | The amount of visible light that passes through the film. Lower VLT means darker tint. | What VLT is available for each window? |
| IRR | The percentage of infrared energy rejected by the film under the stated test conditions. | How was the IRR measured? |
| TSER | The percentage of total solar energy rejected by the film. | What is the TSER for the shade I want? |
| SHGC | The fraction of solar heat that passes through the glass and film. Lower values indicate less solar heat gain. | Does the SHGC support the film’s stated solar performance? |
FAQ
Davenport Ceramic Tint Questions, Answered
Will Ceramic Film Interfere With My Phone, GPS, or Keyless Entry?
Ceramic film uses non-metallic construction, so it is generally designed to remain signal-friendly for phones, GPS, Bluetooth, and keyless entry systems. Signal concerns are more commonly associated with metallic window films.
Is Nano-Ceramic Tint the Same as Ceramic Tint?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but “nano-ceramic” typically refers to ceramic particles incorporated into the film. Instead of choosing based on the name alone, compare the film’s documented performance specifications.
Will Ceramic Film Give My Windows a Mirrored Look?
No. Ceramic window film typically has a non-reflective appearance rather than the mirror-like finish associated with some reflective films. It is also designed to maintain its appearance without the metallic look.
Why Do Ceramic Window Tint Quotes Vary From Car to Car?
Pricing depends on the vehicle, number and size of windows, glass shape, selected coverage, and film option. A quote based on your specific vehicle and glass areas provides a more accurate idea of the installation cost.
How Long Does Ceramic Window Tint Take to Install?
Installation time varies based on the vehicle, number of windows, glass design, and coverage selected. The shop can provide a more specific time estimate after reviewing your vehicle and requested tint areas.
How Should I Care for Ceramic Window Tint After Installation?
The film needs time to cure after installation. Avoid lowering the tinted windows during the initial curing period, and follow the care instructions provided by the installer. After curing, use a soft cloth and tint-safe, non-abrasive cleaner on the glass.
