Springtime in the Bay Area is filled with cool, misty air, and the buds and blossoms in bloom. As the warmer weather draws people out of their homes and onto the roads, the California coastline is a popular tourist destination. Spring seems to be the time that most people shake off the winter slump and reevaluate their surroundings, including their vehicles and offices. Locals know that the California sun is soon to be relentless and it’s time to get ahead of it. Industry experts unanimously agree that springtime is one of the best times to invest in vehicle and commercial window tinting, and today we’ll discuss the top five reasons why.
Extremely warm or cool temperatures can impact window tint’s ability to completely adhere to your windows, making mild temperatures the perfect condition for window tint installation. For vehicle tint application, it’s easy to bring your car into our climate-controlled tint shop garage or have our mobile tint crew visit you on one of the 250+ nice days of the year in the Bay Area. However, commercial window tint installation doesn’t offer the ability to recede to more ideal conditions and relies on Mother Nature for support. Springtime offers some of the best outdoor conditions for commercial window tint application, and choosing to install during these warmer months reduces the curing time and yields better final results.
Get ahead of the summer heat by scheduling your tint installation today!

On average, the Bay Area sees 259 days of sunshine, making it one of the most beautiful places to live — okay, we may be slightly biased. The California sun makes our region perfect for cruising the coast with friends and enjoying all the outdoor activities our area is known for. However, your vehicle interior and commercial furniture are under a sun-intensifying microscope, known as your windows, at all times. This continual exposure to our beloved sun can wreak havoc on leather and upholstery, leading to drying, cracking, and premature fading or signs of aging. Additionally, the increased heat caused by the absorption of the sun’s shining warmth subjects your interior to further damage. We’re sure you’ve heard of the greenhouse effect — areas enclosed behind heat capturing glass can be 30-40 degrees warmer than outside, and in times of direct sun, it can be near 50 degrees warmer! What that means is that on a warm summer day, your car’s interior can reach incredibly high temperatures.
“When temperatures outside range from 80 degrees to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172.” – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Getting ahead of the heat and installing window tint in the spring can help reduce internal car temperatures all throughout the year and reduce UV absorption. Effective window tint can reduce the UV rays that penetrate your car by nearly 95% and lower the temperature by 30-40%, leaving your interior in pristine condition.
Prevent feeling the full effects of summer by getting your windows tinted in the spring.
While spending time in the sun is great for our mental health and provides us with essential vitamins and nutrients, too much exposure can be dangerous. In fact, dermatologists recommend indirect sun exposure by way of staying in the shade and using protective gear — sunglasses, sunscreen, hats, long clothing, etc — while outside. In your car or office lobby, you may find it difficult to avoid the sun’s direct rays, and tempered glass may only serve to intensify your exposure. In fact, left-sided skin cancer rates have been on the rise for the last few decades — and nearly 74% of malignant melanoma is detected on the left side of the body — as a direct result of exposure while driving. Sun exposure in vehicles is responsible for skin cancer, cataracts, and hastening signs of aging including wrinkles.
Many vehicle manufacturers use UV-blocking windows that reduce your exposure by 25-50%. However, high-quality window tints like Solar Gard® can filter nearly 99% of UV radiation. So, when it comes right down to it, choosing to get car window tint or commercial window tint installed this spring is good for your health!
It is common to experience some window tint side effects including minor blistering or bubbling that disappear over time as the tint adheres completely to windows. These symptoms can worsen in high humidity or extreme heat or cold conditions following installation. Freshly tinted windows require a few days to “cure” before they can be rolled down and returned to normal use. Cold and hot temperatures extend this curing period by several days, which can be inconvenient for the driver or commercial building owner. To shorten the curing time, it’s recommended to have your tint installed during the spring or the fall.
It’s common knowledge that summertime, more specifically Memorial Day weekend, is one of the most popular times to purchase a new vehicle. Dealerships offer better deals to clear their inventory for fall’s newest models, and the warmer weather inspires drivers to upgrade their rides. Along with new vehicles come upgrades and after-market product purchase and installation.
