Custom Tinted Glass

Q: What is tinted glass?

Tinted glass can be any glass that has been treated with a material. A film or coating is used in glass tinting, which reduces the transmission of light through it. When tinting glass, you can use various types of coating. The ideal one is something that blocks and/or reflects different amounts and types of light. Take note that it still depends on your needs and preferences.

Q: What tint is darker on glass tint?

Window tint comes in different shades. You may choose a clear right down to completely blacked out. In most glass projects, homeowners’ common request is ‘darkest legal,’ which refers to the combination of window film and glass. It cannot result in less than 35% visible light transmission (VLT) and less than 20% visible light transmission through all windows.

Q: How do you tint glass?

To tint glass windows, you may opt for a do-it-yourself tint job or call a professional window contractor to help you. If you haven’t tried glass tinting before, it would be best to get assistance from an expert.

Q: What type of window tinting is best?

Looking for custom tinted glass? Since One Day Glass is a flat glass production facility, we’re not going to manufacture a replacement car window, since auto glass is usually curved in some way. The tinting process is very different to auto tinting. Instead of adding a colored film to the surface, we use colored glass where the color is part of the glass. That material is what reduces or changes the color of light coming through it, so that it appears darker or colored differently.

There are many benefits to having tinted windows in a home.

While these windows aren’t usually tinted as dark as some car windows, they still can restrict some of the effects of solar energy. Many kinds of flooring, furniture and fabrics can become subtly discolored or damaged because of long-term sun exposure, so tinting can help to mitigate those effects. Also, in living room situations, sometimes a properly tinted window can reduce incidental glare on TV and computer screens.

Since our glass tints are through the entire thickness of the glass, it is more durable and will not rub off like tinted films will. Glass tints of the same color will appear darker with thicker glass. Look at the color charts by thickness to see how the tint will affect darkness.

At One Day Glass we carry glass in several different tints, which vary according to thickness. And we can cut tinted glass within an industry-leading 1/16^th-of-an-inch cutting tolerance, which means we can match your exact specifications. Check out our tint samples and see if tinted glass might be a good fit for your next project.
