OS Pro Auto Detailing installs STEK automotive window film using precision-cut templates and heat-shaping techniques for clean edges and consistent adhesion. Available carbon, nano-ceramic, and ceramic graphene films provide different levels of visible light transmission (VLT), infrared energy rejection (IRER), and total solar energy rejection (TSER) without electronic interference.
STEK window tint blocks 99% of UV rays, reduces glare by up to 92%, and provides up to 66% infrared energy rejection, depending on the selected series. VLT, or Visible Light Transmission, measures the percentage of visible light passing through tinted glass; lower VLT percentages create darker tint shades.
If you’re evaluating the best tint percentages for heat reduction and UV protection, a professional consultation helps match film type. Request a custom tint recommendation for your vehicle.

Why Do Bellevue Drivers Choose STEK Window Tint?
Window tint improves cabin comfort, UV protection, glare control, and privacy for Bellevue drivers. STEK carbon, nano-ceramic, and ceramic graphene films provide different levels of solar and infrared heat rejection while maintaining signal compatibility.
- Heat Rejection: STEK films deliver up to 64% TSER and 66% IRER, reducing solar and infrared heat entering the cabin.
- UV Protection: All three STEK series block 99% of UV rays, helping protect passengers, dashboards, leather, and upholstery from prolonged UV exposure.
- Glare Reduction: Available films reduce glare by up to 92% for more comfortable visibility in bright driving conditions.
- Privacy: Multiple VLT shade options limit outside visibility while allowing drivers to select a tint level appropriate for their vehicle.
- Interior Protection: UV and solar-energy rejection help reduce long-term fading and deterioration of interior surfaces.
- Added Glass Safety: Applied window film can help hold broken glass fragments together if a window is damaged.
Window tint can also complement paint protection film (PPF) for rock-chip protection and ceramic coating for hydrophobic exterior protection.

FAQs
How much does window tinting cost in Bellevue, WA?
Window tinting in Bellevue starts at $199 for a 2-door vehicle with STEK ACTIONseries carbon film. SMARTseries nano-ceramic packages start at $299, while NEXseries ceramic graphene starts at $499 for 2-door vehicles. Final pricing varies by vehicle size, selected STEK film series, and coverage such as front doors, windshields, sunroofs, or panoramic sunroofs.
What is the legal window tint percentage in Washington State?
Washington State requires front side windows to allow more than 24% visible light transmission (VLT) for both passenger vehicles and SUVs or vans. Passenger-vehicle rear side and rear windows must also allow more than 24% VLT, while SUVs and vans may use any darkness on rear side and rear windows. Bellevue drivers should select tint shades that meet applicable Washington requirements.
What does VLT mean for car window tint?
VLT, or Visible Light Transmission, measures the percentage of visible light that passes through automotive window film and glass. A lower VLT percentage creates a darker tint, while a higher percentage allows more visible light through. STEK film options available through OS Pro Auto Detailing range across multiple VLT shade levels, allowing Bellevue drivers to compare appearance, privacy, and Washington tint requirements.
Which window tint reduces heat the most?
STEK NEXseries ceramic graphene provides the highest infrared heat rejection among the three STEK film series offered by OS Pro Auto Detailing, reaching up to 66% IRER. SMARTseries nano-ceramic reaches up to 63% IRER, while ACTIONseries carbon reaches up to 49%. Ceramic-based films also provide heat rejection without electronic interference with GPS, Bluetooth, or mobile devices.
How long does window tint installation and curing take?
Most window tint installations take 1–2 hours, while full-vehicle, SUV, ceramic, or ceramic graphene installations may require up to 3 hours. After installation, OS Pro Auto Detailing recommends keeping the windows closed for 3–5 days while the film cures. Small water pockets may remain temporarily during curing and typically disappear as remaining installation moisture dissipates.
How long does STEK window tint last?
STEK window film installed by OS Pro Auto Detailing includes a limited lifetime warranty covering qualifying fading, bubbling, cracking, and delamination under normal use. Actual film longevity depends on installation, exposure, and aftercare. Bellevue drivers can help maintain the film by using ammonia-free glass cleaner, cleaning with microfiber cloths, and avoiding abrasive materials or sharp objects on the tinted surface.
