WINDOW TINT SHADES WE OFFER FOR MONROE

Every window tint shade is measured using VLT (Visible Light Transmission), which tells you how much light passes through the film. A lower VLT percentage means a darker shade. We offer a complete selection of tint shades that stay within North Carolina’s legal requirements.

Most window films promise heat rejection and good looks. Few actually deliver on both. XPEL window films combine genuine protection with the polished, upgraded appearance your car deserves.

CERAMIC PARTICLE TECHNOLOGY

XPEL PRIME XR & XR Plus use advanced ceramic particles to filter the sun's infrared radiation. They last longer and outperform traditional metallized or dyed films when it comes to durability and heat rejection.

SUPERIOR HEAT REJECTION

The ceramic particle technology built into our films blocks the bulk of the sun's heat-causing infrared energy, keeping your cabin cooler and reducing the strain on your air conditioning.

CRYSTAL CLEAR SIGNAL

Unlike older metallized films, our nano-ceramic technology does not interfere with your radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals. Your connectivity stays strong no matter the shade.

UV RAY PROTECTION

On top of heat rejection, the ceramic particles in our films block harmful UV radiation, offering your skin and your car's interior stronger protection than standard metallized or dyed window films.

XPEL Prime XR

Built with nano-ceramic construction, PRIME XR Ceramic Film maintains crystal-clear clarity and a clean finish for years while blocking up to 88% of infrared heat.

XPEL Prime XR Plus

Powered by multi-layer nanoparticle technology, PRIME XR PLUS automotive window tint pairs a bold, dark look with the highest level of heat rejection available.

XPEL Prime CS

If maximum heat rejection is not your main concern, XPEL PRIME CS is a reliable option. It still blocks 99% of harmful UV rays and provides color-stable, glare-reducing performance that will not fade, crack, peel, or turn purple over time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WINDOW TINTING

What kind of light gap should you expect after a professional tint installation?

A properly installed tint should have no more than a 1/16th of an inch light gap at the very most. At Sun Stoppers, our installers aim for zero light gap on every vehicle, including frameless doors.

Can window tint actually help you save on fuel costs?

Window tint on its own does not directly improve gas mileage. But because it keeps your cabin cooler, you end up running your air conditioning less. That lighter AC use can add up over time, especially for electric vehicles like Teslas where less AC means better battery range.

What is the darkest legal window tint in North Carolina?

North Carolina requires at least 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on front side windows for all vehicles. For SUVs, vans, and trucks, there is no darkness limit on rear side and back windows. Reflectivity must stay at or below 20%, and red, amber, and yellow tint colors are not allowed. You can learn more on our North Carolina tint laws page.

Monroe is the county seat of Union County and sits about 17 miles southeast of our Matthews shop. Founded in 1843 and named after President James Monroe, the city started as a trading center for the surrounding Piedmont farming communities. Today it is one of the fastest growing cities in the Charlotte metro area, with a population of nearly 38,000 residents.

If you are from Monroe, you are probably already familiar with everything the area has to offer. From the charming downtown district to the surrounding countryside, there is always something going on. A few local favorites include:

  • Treehouse Vineyards
  • Southern Range Brewing Co.

Monroe’s downtown even served as a filming location for the 2014 movie The Longest Ride, based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. The area blends small-town character with easy access to Charlotte, making it a great place to live and raise a family.

Monroe covers roughly 25 square miles and is served by zip codes 28110, 28111, and 28112. Sun Stoppers is proud to serve Monroe and the surrounding towns and neighborhoods from our nearby Matthews location.

Brandon Lewis:

“Knocked out my new C8 Vette in no time! Nolan was amazing over the phone and service was top notch as well. Started by showing me options at the shop Nolan Even got some info on other services I wanted to learn about! Install was flawless and the price was amazing as well! Will now recommend all my customers and friends to them! Thanks again guys!”

Gianni Macaroni:

“Excellent service snd quality work. They have a nice waiting room with coffee, magazines and a fridge with drinks. Had a 3:30pm appt but had to wait over an hour before they got to mine, which was strange since I had an appt. I assumed they would take my truck right away. When they finally got to mine, the work was completed in 15mins or so. Overall, a good place to get tint replaced but plan to spend an hour or more there. Btw, they offer a lifetime warranty!”
