We offer fast and free quotes, and we are a certified XPEL dealer, because after working with many different tint products over the years we found their window tinting films are the best in the industry. ## XPEL PRIME Window Tinting Tinted windows protect your vehicle from years of harsh sunlight. Dashboards, leather, fabric and plastics all deteriorate over time and discolour from non-stop exposure to harsh UV rays. XPEL PRIME offers the same level of protection to the interior of your vehicle as you get from XPEL’s exterior paint protection films. XPEL PRIME CS gives a clean, neutral charcoal finish that blocks 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays and will never fade, crack, peel or turn purple. ![Window tint film being applied at Lightning Tint in Red Deer](https://lightningtint.ca/wp-content/themes/lightning/assets/img/photos/tt4.jpg) We are a highly rated, certified XPEL dealer installing premium window film in Red Deer for over six years. Whether you want a subtle factory look or limo-dark privacy, we will help you choose the right shade for your vehicle and Alberta’s tint guidelines. ## Choose your shade From a subtle factory look to limo-dark privacy, we will help you pick the right VLT for your vehicle and Alberta's tint guidelines. 50% #### Light · 50% VLT Subtle, near-factory look with strong UV and heat rejection. A great choice for windshields and front glass. 35% #### Medium · 35% VLT The classic, balanced tint. Noticeable privacy while keeping visibility crisp day and night. 20% #### Dark · 20% VLT A sharp, sleek finish with added privacy. A popular pick for side and rear glass. 5% #### Limo · 5% VLT Maximum privacy and the darkest available shade, most often used on rear windows. VLT (visible light transmission) measures how much light a film lets through, so a lower number means a darker tint. We will always recommend a legal, great-looking shade for your front and rear glass. ## The XPEL PRIME window tint range From entry-level value to flagship nano-ceramic performance, every PRIME film carries a lifetime transferable warranty.
