Why do Portsmouth drivers tint their windows?
Portsmouth drivers parked on the street in Olde Towne often want privacy tint, along with heat control for waterfront parking. Ceramic-type tint films are designed to reduce heat and UV coming through the glass without needing the darkest shade.
Planning window tint from Portsmouth
In Portsmouth, street parking in Olde Towne and Park View makes privacy a real reason to tint, and waterfront parking near the seawall and the Elizabeth River gets hot quickly in summer. Ceramic tint keeps the cabin cooler without needing the darkest legal shade.
Tint is installed in our Chesapeake indoor bay, close to Portsmouth via I-264 or Route 164. Ceramic coating is the part we bring to your Portsmouth driveway: see ceramic coating in Portsmouth and mobile detailing in Portsmouth.
What tint is legal in Virginia?
Under Va. Code § 46.2-1052, film on front side windows must let in at least 50% of light. On passenger cars, rear side windows and the rear window must let in at least 35%. On multipurpose passenger vehicles (SUVs) and pickups, the windows behind the driver are not held to the 35% minimum. No film may reflect more than 20% of light or create a holographic or prism effect, and the car needs a mirror on each side. Medical exemptions for darker tint go through the Virginia DMV under § 46.2-1053. Source: Virginia Code § 46.2-1052. This is a summary, not legal advice.
