Why LWR drivers tint
A lot of sun, a lot of glass.
Lakewood Ranch is spread out. A normal day can mean the run from a neighborhood off Lorraine Road to Main Street, a stop at the hospital or the Premier Sports Campus, then onto I-75 toward Tampa or downtown Sarasota — with the sun on the glass the whole way.
If you drive a newer SUV or EV, you also have more glass to deal with: big side windows, a large rear window and often a glass roof. And it sits in open lots at schools, ballfields and shopping centers through the hottest part of the day.
Ceramic film helps because it cuts heat through the glass without having to go darker than Florida allows on the front windows. You choose the shade for looks and privacy; the ceramic does the heat work.
Stay legal
Choosing a shade that’s legal in Florida.
Florida sets minimum light transmission by window and by vehicle type:
| Window | Car (sedan / coupe) — light let through | SUV, truck or van (multipurpose) — light let through |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield | Transparent strip above the AS-1 line only | Transparent strip above the AS-1 line only |
| Front side windows | At least 28% | At least 28% |
| Rear side windows | At least 15% | At least 6% |
| Rear window | At least 15% | At least 6% |
Full details, with the statute references, are in our Florida window tint law guide. Or browse the shade guide.
