Elk Grove is about 30 minutes from our shop via Hwy 99, and that long, flat corridor offers nothing to break up the sun. Low light pours through the windshield — the biggest, most heat-prone piece of glass on your vehicle — mile after mile. We specialize in windshield treatments that ease that relentless glare and lower cabin heat while keeping your forward view clear and fully compliant with California law.
Elk Grove is SUV and minivan country, and those big windshields bring in a lot of sun. For the full windshield we install a clear, high-VLT ceramic IR film. Because it stays near-clear, it passes California's visible-light requirement with ease while rejecting solar heat and blocking 99% of UV. The Avery Dennison Encore Supreme IR film is non-metallic, so it won't interfere with GPS, toll tags, or the lane-keeping cameras common on family vehicles.
For the direct overhead sun on Hwy 99's open stretches, California allows a tinted strip along the top of the windshield, above the AS-1 line — about the top 4-5 inches. We computer-cut that legal top strip and pair it with the clear IR film for a complete solution: less squinting on the long commute, a cooler cabin for the whole family, and a clean factory look. Same-day roll-down means the trip back to Elk Grove is comfortable right away.
Why Elk Grove Drivers Choose This Service
Elk Grove's long, flat Hwy 99 commute leaves nothing to shade the windshield, and that large pane on SUVs and minivans pours heat into the cabin. California keeps the full windshield clear or near-clear, so dark tint there isn't legal — but a clear ceramic IR film is, because its high visible-light transmission far exceeds the minimum while rejecting up to ~70% of solar heat and 99% of UV. Add a legal tinted strip above the AS-1 line at the top, and the big-windshield family ride stays cooler and far easier on the eyes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Not dark — California requires the windshield to stay clear or near-clear. We apply a clear, high-VLT ceramic IR film across the full windshield for heat and UV, then add a legal tinted strip along the top above the AS-1 line to handle direct overhead sun.
Yes. The long, flat Hwy 99 corridor leaves nowhere for the sun to hide. A legal top strip cuts the overhead glare, while the clear ceramic IR film lowers overall brightness and heat across that big windshield without darkening your forward view.
Definitely. A minivan's large windshield brings in a lot of heat over Elk Grove's 100F+ summers. Our clear ceramic IR film rejects a big share of infrared and 99% of UV while staying near-clear, making the whole cabin noticeably cooler for the family.
