Every grade blocks 99% of UV and is designed not to interfere with phone, GPS or Tesla key card signals. Send the year, make, model and a few photos to start a quote, or call (702) 551-6039. Window tint is backed by the Polar Tint Promise.
Why does a car in Summerlin need more than a dark shade?
About 53% of the sunlight hitting a parked car is infrared, the radiant heat that comes off the dash, and on the west edge of the valley the Red Rock sandstone adds reflected glare. A dark dyed film mostly cuts visible light, so the cabin still heats up. Ceramic film is built to stop the infrared part at the glass. The Red Rock Canyon reflected-sun article explains the reflection effect, and the nano-ceramic technology explainer covers the film itself.
Can I start a ceramic tint quote without bringing the car in?
Yes. Send the year, make and model plus a few photos of the glass, and the shop can start your quote remotely. Before the install, a certified installer looks at the factory glass in person, confirms the Nevada-legal VLT for the front windows and recommends the grade. You get a written quote with the scope, install date and warranty terms, and you decide from there.

Each grade has its own section, with Summerlin neighborhoods where it fits, on the Summerlin auto window tinting page.
Which grade for an I-215, Charleston or Summerlin Parkway drive?
- Premium Ceramic for a car that is garaged overnight, drives Charleston or Sahara into the city and parks in shade most of the day.
- Ceramic Plus for a daily run on I-215 west, Charleston Boulevard or Summerlin Parkway, where 90% IR rejection can help keep the steering wheel from getting too hot to touch.
- Ceramic Ultimate Plus for all-day parking at Downtown Summerlin, big rear glass on full-size SUVs and the panoramic roofs on Tesla Model 3, Model Y and Model S.
What about a Tesla or another glass-roof EV?
A panoramic glass roof is the largest heat-loading surface on an EV, and the climate system that fights that heat runs on the same battery that moves the car. Ceramic Ultimate Plus on the roof and glass package cuts the infrared load before it reaches the cabin, and the film is non-metallic, so it is designed not to interfere with antennas, key cards, GPS or driver-assist sensors.

What do Nevada rules mean for the windshield and front windows?
Front side windows need at least 35% VLT through the film and glass together. Rear sides and back glass can go darker as long as the car has outside mirrors on both sides. On the windshield, only a strip across the top is allowed, with its bottom edge at least 29 inches above the driver’s seat and no red or amber film, so the shop does not film the rest of the windshield. Details: Nevada window tint law for Summerlin drivers.
How long does a ceramic tint install take in Summerlin?
A full sedan, SUV or pickup is typically a same-day install at 9530 W Tropicana Ave Ste B, Las Vegas, NV 89147 (directions). Tesla full-glass packages and panoramic-roof installs take longer, and the installer confirms timing with your written quote. Afterward, keep the windows up for 3 to 5 days while the film cures. The shop is open 7 days, 8am to 5pm; see what to expect at the shop or the installation process.
