Window Tinting
Lex Express Detailing has been caring for vehicles in Lexington for over 10 years, and window tinting now sits alongside our detailing work as part of our vehicle protection services. We install SunTek® CIR ceramic film exclusively and cut it on a Graphtec FC9000 digital plotter, so every pattern matches the glass on your vehicle. Daily drivers, work trucks, and brand-new builds off the lot all go through the same careful process.
Ceramic Window Tint Built for Kentucky Summers
Ceramic window tint features a layer of ceramic nanoparticles within the film rather than dyes, metals, or carbon. That construction comes after infrared heat, which is the part of sunlight that turns a parked cabin into an oven, and it holds its color rather than fading purple, as older dyed films did. Here is what the film delivers once it goes on your glass:
- Heat rejection: The ceramic layer blocks infrared energy, keeping the cabin cooler through a July afternoon and helping your air conditioning catch up faster.
- UV protection: Ultraviolet light is filtered through the glass, helping guard your skin on long drives and slowing fading inside the vehicle.
- Interior protection: Dashboards, door panels, and leather seats hold their color and finish longer once the sun is filtered.
- Reduced glare: Softer light through the side glass keeps you from squinting into a low sunrise or a sunset commute.
- Signal-safe construction: The film skips metal entirely, so phone reception, GPS, tire pressure sensors, and toll transponders continue to work as they should.
- Lifetime warranty: SunTek® backs the film with a manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty, and we stand behind our installation work.
Ceramic film can be a higher initial investment than dyed or carbon options; however, we carry ceramic exclusively because its heat performance and color stability last as long as you own the vehicle.
Truck Window Tint and SUV Window Tint in Lexington
Larger vehicles absorb more heat, since a crew cab or a three-row SUV has far more glass area than a sedan. Truck and SUV window tint requires accurate patterns for curved rear glass, and the plotter cuts each panel from the manufacturer's database rather than hand-cutting film on your paint. Rear windows go on as a single piece, heat-shaped to the glass's curve.
Work trucks gain privacy for tools and cargo behind the front seats, and families with a third row appreciate a cooler cabin for passengers sitting away from the vents. Many trucks and SUVs arrive with factory privacy glass in the rear, and we match the front doors to that shade so the vehicle reads as a single color from front to rear.
Windshield Tint for Heat and Glare Control
The windshield receives the most direct sunlight of any part of a vehicle, making it the largest source of cabin heat. Windshield tint in a nearly clear ceramic film blocks infrared energy while keeping your view through the glass open, and the difference is most noticeable in stop-and-go traffic on a bright afternoon.
Kentucky sets rules on how dark each piece of glass can be, and we walk through the allowable levels with you before any film is cut. A visor strip across the top of the windshield remains a popular choice for anyone who spends the drive fighting the overhead sun.
New Vehicle Protection Packages with Ceramic Tint
Our new vehicle protection packages combine services that work well together on a fresh vehicle. Ceramic tint, paired with a ceramic coating, covers the glass and paint in a single visit, while ceramic tint, paired with paint protection film, shields the front end from road debris and keeps the cabin cool. Handling these together saves you a second trip and keeps the entire vehicle on a single timeline.
Tinting can also be applied if you already have a coating or film in place. Pricing depends on the vehicle, the number of windows, and the shade level you select, so we provide a quote up front before scheduling.
