Windshield Tinting in Calgary

Windshield Tint — Reduce Glare and Heat Where It Matters Most

Up to 97% IR Rejection

A ceramic or Crystalline windshield tint strip or full windshield film can block up to 97% of infrared heat before it enters the cabin.

99.9% UV Blocked

Your windshield lets in the most UV exposure. Tinting it blocks 99.9% of ultraviolet radiation, protecting your face, arms, and dashboard.

Glare Reduction

Reduce blinding glare from low-angle winter sun and summer highway reflection — especially important on Calgary's east-west corridors.

Alberta Legal

We use light-transmitting ceramic films (70%+ VLT) that maintain legal visibility while still rejecting significant heat and UV.

Why Tint Your Windshield?

Most people think of window tinting as something you do to the side and rear windows. But the windshield is the largest glass surface on your vehicle, and it’s responsible for the majority of solar heat and UV radiation entering the cabin. Tinting your windshield can make a bigger difference to cabin comfort than tinting all other windows combined.

In Calgary, windshield tinting addresses two specific problems. In summer, the high-altitude sun (Calgary sits at 1,045m elevation) produces intense UV and IR radiation. In winter, low-angle sun creates blinding glare, especially on east-west roads like Memorial Drive, Glenmore Trail, and 16th Avenue.

Windshield Tint Options

Full Windshield Film — A single sheet of ceramic or Crystalline film applied to the entire windshield. This provides maximum heat and UV rejection. We use only 3M Ceramic IR or Crystalline films at 70% VLT or higher for windshield applications to maintain legal visibility.

Windshield Sun Strip (Visor Strip) — A band of film applied across the top 4–6 inches of the windshield. This targets the most common glare zone without covering the full windshield. Available in darker shades since it sits above the driver’s primary line of sight.

Recommended Films for Windshield

Film	VLT	IR Rejection	UV Rejection	Best For
3M Ceramic IR (IRN 70)	73%	95%	99.9%	Best value windshield film
3M Crystalline (CR 90)	90%	97%	99.9%	Nearly invisible, maximum heat rejection

Both options are virtually invisible on the windshield while providing dramatic heat and UV reduction.

Is Windshield Tinting Legal in Alberta?

Yes, with conditions. Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act requires the windshield to maintain adequate visibility. There is no specific VLT percentage written into the provincial regulations for windshields (unlike some US states), but law enforcement can issue a ticket if they determine visibility is impaired.

In practice, films at 70% VLT or higher are widely accepted because they transmit more than enough light for safe driving. The 3M Crystalline CR 90 at 90% VLT is essentially undetectable — even experienced officers cannot tell it’s there — while still blocking 97% of infrared heat.

We only install windshield films that maintain high light transmission. We will not install dark tint on a windshield. For complete details on Alberta tint regulations, visit our Alberta Window Tint Laws page.

I had a great experience. Very knowledgeable staff, flexible and thorough in their work. Clean place with the lowest prices in town. Best part for me was the drive in service and being done in a couple of hours!

Everyone that works here is top notch. From the owner to the manager to the guys doing the work. They were honest and went well above what they were obligated to do.

The level of finishing and the pricing was exceptional. I cannot recommend them enough. Very clean and professional.

I appreciated the prompt service. All the work was done in 4 hours (paint protection and all 7 windows tinted) everything looks great and the price is lower than other quotes I got in town.

These guys are great I will be back to get my other vehicle done by this company. Highly recommend!

Caleb and his crew were recommended by a friend. Very professional place where the service was top notch. Their attention to detail is great, especially on hard vehicles.

I have had 2 vehicles done here already and I will get my truck re-done by these guys as well. I've had work done elsewhere, and now there's really only one place to trust your vehicle to get work done.

Great service and much cheaper than the dealer was asking. Booked my appointment online and had my car in the next morning for a window tint job.

They even drove me to work and picked me up at the end of the day when my car was ready. Highly recommend these guys!

I had a really positive experience with Calgary Pro-Window Tinting. I found their website easy to navigate and Caleb was responsive when I called with questions.

They got me in fast and were accommodating when I needed to change my appointment due to weather. The workmanship is very good and I am happy with the result. Their pricing was competitive and I appreciated the included loaner vehicle. I have no hesitation in recommending them for those interested in 3M.
