Automotive tinting specifics
Side Window Tint
Side window tint is window film applied to the driver and passenger side windows; in Singapore the LTA requires a minimum 25% combined VLT on side windows.
Side window tints provide most of the privacy and heat-rejection that drivers feel in everyday use. The LTA's 25% minimum VLT is comfortable enough that many quality ceramic films can be used near that limit.
For Singapore drivers we typically recommend a 30–40% combined VLT on the side windows — dark enough for privacy and good heat rejection, light enough to never raise compliance concerns at VICOM inspection.
Edge-to-edge installation and tucking matter most visibly on side windows because they are rolled up and down — any exposed film edge will catch and lift over time.
