What Time of Year is Best to Tint Windows?

As Austinites, we're no strangers to the intense Texas heat that bears down on us each summer. And while our winters are relatively mild compared to other parts of the country, those occasional cold snaps can still leave us feeling a bit too chilly indoors. One fantastic solution to these seasonal weather extremes? Window tinting. 

But timing is everything when it comes to tinting your residential or commercial windows. At Boss Tint, we always recommend scheduling your project during the spring or fall months. These two seasons offer up the perfect weather even Goldilocks would approve of; not too hot, not too cold.

Want to learn more about why spring and fall are the prime times for Texas window tinting? Join us as we explore the key benefits of taking care of this upgrade when temperatures are just right.

Spring Brings Us Out of Winter's Chill

After enduring the winter months, spring brings a welcome reprieve from the cold. As temperatures gradually rise, it creates near-perfect conditions for window tint installation and curing. Here are a few reasons why spring is an excellent time for tinting!

Mild Temperatures

Spring's mild temperatures, typically ranging from the 60s to the 80s in Austin, allow for a faster and more efficient curing process. The window tint adheres better and dries more quickly in these moderate conditions. Think a few days versus a few weeks when wetter conditions arise.

Low(er) Humidity

Unlike the hot and humid summers in Texas, spring offers lower humidity levels. Excessive moisture can interfere with the curing process, potentially leading to bubbling or peeling of the tint. Spring's drier air ensures a smooth and long-lasting installation.

Fall Away From Summer's Scorchers

Just as spring offers a reprieve from winter, fall provides a much-needed break from the sweltering summer heat. As the temperatures cool down, fall becomes an ideal time for window tinting projects. 

Comfortable Working Conditions

With moderate temperatures and lower humidity levels, fall offers comfortable working conditions for our professional tinting technicians. This ensures a precise and efficient installation process.

Faster Curing Time

Similar to spring, the mild fall weather allows for a faster curing time, typically ranging from 3 to 4 days. This means you can enjoy the benefits of your new window tint sooner.

Preparing for Winter

By tinting your windows in the fall, you'll be better prepared for the colder months ahead. Tinted windows can help retain heat inside your home or office, reducing energy costs and improving indoor comfort levels.

The Importance of Proper Curing

Regardless of the season, the curing process is crucial for the longevity and performance of your window tint. Curing is the time it takes for the tint to properly adhere to the glass and reach its full strength and durability.

During the curing stage, the tint is susceptible to damage from moisture, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors. This is why spring and fall offer the ideal conditions for a smooth and successful curing process.

In contrast, the scorching summers in Austin can cause the tint to overheat and cure too quickly, potentially leading to bubbling or peeling. Similarly, the wet and humid conditions of winter can extend the curing process by weeks, leaving the tint vulnerable to moisture damage.
