Keep Your Interior Cooler and Protected

Professional window tinting for vehicles in Grand Rapids

You sit in your car on a hot afternoon in Grand Rapids and feel the sun beating through the windows, heating the seats and dashboard until it becomes uncomfortable to touch anything. Window tinting reduces that heat buildup and blocks the glare that makes it harder to see the road during morning and evening drives through Grand Rapids.

EGM Custumz applies ceramic window tint to cars, trucks, and SUVs, creating a barrier that rejects solar heat while maintaining visibility. The film is applied directly to the interior surface of the glass with precision attention to edges and corners. Ceramic tint also filters ultraviolet light that fades upholstery, cracks dashboards, and causes discoloration over time.

If you want your vehicle to stay cooler and more comfortable during daily use in Grand Rapids, contact EGM Custumz to schedule a window tinting appointment.

What happens during the tinting process

The glass is cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, oils, and residue before the tint film is measured and cut to match each window. In Grand Rapids, you typically drop off your vehicle in the morning and pick it up later the same day once the installation is complete and the adhesive has set.

After the tint is installed, you will notice the interior stays noticeably cooler when parked in direct sunlight, and the glare from low-angle sun is significantly reduced. The film also adds a layer of privacy by making it harder for people outside to see into the cabin, especially at night or when parked.

Ceramic tint is designed to hold up under daily use without bubbling, peeling, or turning purple like older dye-based films. The application is smooth and consistent across all windows, with clean edges that do not interfere with window operation or defroster lines. You should avoid rolling the windows down for a few days after installation to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

Questions people ask before scheduling

Homeowners and drivers in Grand Rapids often want to know how dark the tint will be, how long it lasts, and whether it affects visibility at night before moving forward with the service.

What does ceramic window tint do differently than standard tint?
Ceramic tint blocks more infrared heat without requiring a darker shade, so your interior stays cooler without sacrificing visibility. It also does not interfere with phone signals or GPS, which metallic films sometimes do.
How long does window tint last on a vehicle?
Ceramic window tint typically lasts for years without fading, bubbling, or peeling when installed correctly and maintained properly. You can wash the windows normally after the first week.
When is the best time to get window tinting done?
You can have window tint installed any time of year, but many people schedule it before summer when heat and glare are most noticeable. The installation takes place indoors, so weather does not affect the process.
What should I avoid doing right after the tint is installed?
You should not roll down the windows for at least three days to allow the adhesive to bond fully to the glass. Avoid cleaning the inside of the windows for the first week as well.
How dark can the tint be legally in Michigan?
Michigan law allows up to 35 percent tint on the rear windows and back glass, but the front side windows must allow more than 50 percent of light through. EGM Custumz follows these guidelines during every installation.

If your vehicle heats up quickly in the sun or the glare makes driving uncomfortable during certain times of day in Grand Rapids, window tinting addresses both issues while adding privacy and protecting your interior. Reach out to EGM Custumz to discuss your vehicle and schedule an installation.
