FAQ


Next Tier Tinting LLC
  • Is window tinting legal in Iowa?

    Yes, with limits. Iowa requires at least 70% VLT on front side windows and the windshield. A visor strip down to the AS-1 line is allowed. Rear side and back windows may be darker.

    IA Law
  • How long does the tint installation process take?

    Most full vehicles take 2–6 hours depending on size and complexity. Two front doors are usually under 1 hour.

  • How durable is the film and what warranty do you provide?

    We use GeoShield films backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and fading.

  • What's the difference between dyed, carbon, and ceramic window films?

    • Dyed: most affordable, no heat rejection. 
    • Carbon: deep, fade-resistant black with better heat rejection and no signal issues.
    •  Ceramic/nano-ceramic: advanced particles that block IR heat and UV while staying clear and signal-safe; top tier offers the best comfort.

  • Can you explain more about nano-ceramic?

    Nano-ceramic films use ultra-small ceramic particles that let visible light through but block infrared heat and UV, keeping the cabin cooler with excellent clarity and no electronic interference.
