Alberta tint rules
What's legal on which window
Alberta doesn't allow tint film on the windshield or the two front side windows, unless the driver has a medical exemption permit from the province. The rear side windows and the back window can be as dark as you like.
We'll talk it through before we start, so there are no surprises at a roadside check.
About Alberta's medical exemption- No tint film: windshield and front side windows
- Any shade: rear side windows and back window
What tint does for you
-
UV protection
Blocks up to 99% of UV, which protects your skin and stops the dash and seats fading and cracking.
-
A cooler car
Less heat builds up in summer, so the A/C has less work to do.
-
Less glare
Softer light from low sun and snow glare, which Calgary has plenty of.
-
More privacy
It's harder to see what's on the back seat, and the car looks sharper too.
How it works
Taking our time so it lasts
About 2 to 4 hours for most cars. Rushing tint is how you get bubbles and peeling edges.

Step 1
Book a time
Tinting takes a few hours, so we book it in. Drop the car off, or wait in the shop.
-
Step 2
Pick your film and shade
We'll show you carbon and ceramic side by side, and what's legal on each window.
-
Step 3
Clean the glass
Every window is scrubbed spotless. Any dust left under the film would show.
-
Step 4
Cut it to fit
The film is cut to the exact shape of each window, so it runs right to the edge.
-
Step 5
Lay it on
The film goes on the inside of the glass and is squeezed flat, with no bubbles or creases.
-
Step 6
Check every edge
We go over each window in good light before you see it.
-
Step 7
Let it cure
The film needs a few days to dry out completely. Keep the windows up while it does.
Afterwards
The first few days
New tint is still drying out for the first few days, so it can look a little hazy. That's normal, and it clears on its own as the film cures.
Other ways we can help
Want the paint protected too? Ask about ceramic coating while the car's in.
Rock chip repair
Catch a chip early and it won't spread into a crack. It's quick, and we can do it on-site.
Windshield replacement
Cracked past the point of repair? We replace windshields, side and back glass on every make and model, usually the same day.
ADAS calibration
Lane assist and auto braking use a camera behind your windshield. After a replacement we recalibrate it, static or dynamic.
Ceramic coating
A hard, glossy layer that protects your paint and makes the car easier to wash.

Is window tint legal in Alberta?
Yes, on some windows. Alberta doesn't allow tint film on the windshield or the front side windows (the driver's and the front passenger's), unless the driver has a medical exemption permit from the province. The rear side windows and the back window can be any shade. We'll go over this with you before we start.
What's the difference between carbon and ceramic?
Both are non-metallic, so neither interferes with your phone, GPS or radio. Carbon film blocks heat and UV well, has a matte finish and is the better value. Ceramic film blocks the most heat, up to 60%, and 99% of UV, with the clearest view. It costs more, and it's the one we'd pick for a car that sits in the sun.
How long does it take?
About 2 to 4 hours for most cars, and 3 to 5 hours for larger SUVs, trucks and vans. You can wait at the shop or drop the car off.
When can I roll my windows down?
Give it 2 to 3 days, and a little longer in cold weather. The film needs that long to dry and bond to the glass.
Why does my new tint look a bit hazy?
A little haze or a few small water pockets is normal for the first few days. They disappear as the film dries out. If you still see bubbles after a couple of weeks, bring it back and we'll fix it.
What vehicles can you tint?
All of them: cars, trucks, SUVs, vans and commercial vehicles. Every film is cut to fit the windows on your vehicle.
