Citrus Heights is just about 12 minutes from our Auburn Blvd shop, making us your closest windshield-tint specialist. Driving Sunrise and Greenback or heading toward I-80, you catch direct sun through the windshield — the largest, most heat-prone piece of glass on your vehicle. We focus on windshield-specific treatments that reduce glare and heat while keeping your forward view sharp and fully within California law.
For the full windshield we install a clear, high-VLT ceramic IR film. Because it stays near-clear, it easily passes California's visible-light requirement while rejecting solar heat and blocking 99% of UV. The result is a cooler cabin on local errands and noticeably less squinting when the low sun hits Sunrise Blvd. The Encore Supreme IR film is non-metallic, so it won't interfere with toll tags, GPS, or driver-assist cameras mounted at the windshield.
California also permits a tinted strip along the top of the windshield, above the AS-1 line — roughly the top 4-5 inches. We computer-cut that legal top strip to knock down the overhead and low-angle sun common on Citrus Heights commuter routes, then pair it with the clear IR film for a complete, code-compliant solution. Being so close, we make same-day roll-down easy — drop in and drive away cooler the same afternoon.
