Window tint for New Braunfels drivers.

LLumar window tint starting at $295. All LLumar lines are available. Your written quote confirms the exact series, shade, vehicle coverage, removal charges and installed total.

New Braunfels (78130) sits about 30 minutes northeast on IH-35 — a growing city with a mix of Comal County rural roads and heavy commuter traffic down to San Antonio. Long drives, long sun exposure, and a lot of trucks and family SUVs.

Ceramic film can reduce solar heat entering through treated glass, but the result depends on the exact film, shade, glass, coverage and conditions. Compare total solar energy rejection (TSER) for the same test basis. Infrared-rejection figures can use different wavelength ranges and are not interchangeable with TSER. No fixed cabin-temperature reduction, cool-down time, energy saving or EV-range gain is promised. LLumar product details.

For a value-tier option, ask which exact film is available. LLumar ATC is dyed film, not carbon; compare its specifications and price with the ceramic option in your written quote.

The following summary is based on Texas DPS window-tint guidance. Film shade alone is not a compliance test.

• Front side windows: at least 25% VLT and no more than 25% luminous reflectance, measured with film and original glass together, unless an applicable exemption applies.
• Rear side windows: exempt from these Texas tint restrictions; this is not a sedan-versus-SUV distinction.
• Rear window: unrestricted only with an outside mirror on each side giving a view at least 200 feet behind the vehicle. Without those mirrors, at least 25% VLT and no more than 25% reflectance apply.
• Windshield: the strip must be above the AS-1 line; if there is no line, it must end five inches below the top. Combined strip/glass VLT must be at least 25%, reflectance no more than 25%; no red, amber or blue. Clear, untinted UV film is separately allowed anywhere on the windshield.

For a medical exception to the front-side darkness requirement, DPS calls for a signed statement from a licensed physician or licensed optometrist identifying the driver or occupant and explaining the medical necessity. Keep the statement in the vehicle for law-enforcement review. DPS stopped issuing Window Tint Exemption Certificates on January 1, 2019. A customer-signed shop waiver is not a medical exception or permission to use otherwise noncompliant tint on public roads.

Verify the exact film, glass and installation before choosing a shade. A shop waiver or a nominal film percentage does not guarantee legality. Read the complete Texas tint guide.

Request a written quote identifying the film manufacturer, series, shade, windows covered and installed price. Confirm existing-film removal, taxes, preparation, availability, completion estimate and warranty terms before authorizing work. Do not compare different film categories or coverage packages as if they were the same product.

Review the package pricing page. Confirm any offer's exact product, coverage and eligibility in writing.

Drop the car at our studio at 4949 N Loop 1604 W, Suite 430. Coming north on IH-35 from New Braunfels, take the Loop 1604 West exit and stay on 1604 for about ten minutes — we’re on the north side just past US-281. From 78130 or 78132 the drive typically runs 30 to 35 minutes off-peak.

Most window tint builds finish in about two hours. Every build comes with The Build Log — real-time photos texted to your phone through drop-off, prep, install, and final walk-around. See the transformation as it happens. Grab lunch at The Rim, La Cantera, or Stone Oak while we work — ten minutes from the studio.

We also install paint protection film, ceramic coating, and vinyl wraps at the same studio — ask about bundled pricing at drop-off.

Dyed, carbon and ceramic are different product categories. LLumar identifies ATC as dyed window film, not carbon. ATC uses an integrated charcoal dye for color stability, and LLumar states that it blocks more than 99% of UV rays.

LLumar's ceramic range includes CTX, IRX, FormulaOne Pinnacle and FormulaOne Stratos. Compare the exact series and shade for heat rejection, visible light transmission and reflectance; the category name is not a performance specification.

Ask PLM to confirm the exact film available for your vehicle in the written quote. A carbon-tint comparison is not a representation that ATC is carbon or that every listed manufacturer series is currently stocked.

Ceramic film can reduce solar heat entering through treated glass, but the result depends on the exact film, shade, glass, coverage and conditions.

No fixed cabin-temperature reduction, cool-down time, energy saving or EV-range gain is promised.

• Common vehicles from 78130: Ford F-250, Ram 1500 and 2500, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, plus Honda Odyssey, Chevy Suburban, and a steady flow of Rivian R1T from the newer subdivisions.
• New Braunfels has no tint ordinance beyond Texas state law — 25% VLT on front sides.
• Comal County heat and river-country humidity are harder on dyed film than west-side dry heat — the film-fade-purple problem is real here. Ceramic film pays off in longevity plus performance.
• Drive: about 30 minutes to the studio via IH-35 South to Loop 1604 East.
• New Braunfels insider note: many clients drop off before a Guadalupe or Comal River day and pick up in the evening. If you're bringing your truck in for tint, mention it — we can prioritize the timing so you're on the water by 11am.
