OC House of Tint installs XPEL ceramic window tint for Rivian owners in Orange County. Ceramic film reduces infrared heat through the glass, while your chosen shade controls brightness and privacy. Front-window tint adds shade beside you. Windshield and roof film can help if direct sunlight still feels uncomfortable through those areas.

Tinting the R2’s front side windows can soften strong side sunlight and bring their appearance closer to the rear glass. If you still feel sun on your face or arms, windshield ceramic tint addresses an area that side-window film cannot cover.
Rear passengers in an R1S can feel sunlight through both the side windows and the panoramic roof. Ceramic side-window tint helps reduce that heat beside the seats. Film on suitable roof glass can also reduce overhead heat and brightness.
Windshield film helps with the sun in front of you, while roof and rear-window tint address light from above and behind. On an R1T, these options complement the side windows without relying on a very dark shade everywhere in the cabin.
Ceramic film adds infrared heat rejection. Choose the shade for the amount of glare reduction and privacy you want, taking the existing rear privacy glass into account.
Sun can still reach the front seats through the windshield after the side windows are tinted. A lighter ceramic film reduces infrared heat while admitting more daylight than a darker shade.
Optional roof tint can reduce overhead heat and brightness. We check your Rivian’s roof configuration and existing solar protection before recommending additional film.

XR Black and XR Plus offer ceramic infrared heat rejection and UV protection. CS focuses on appearance, glare, and privacy.
Style & privacy
Color-stable dyed film for shade, privacy, and glare reduction. CS is not ceramic; choose XR Black or XR Plus when infrared heat rejection is your priority.
Nano-ceramic
Up to 88% Infrared Heat Rejection
XPEL nano-ceramic film for reducing the heat you feel through your Rivian’s windows. A strong option for everyday driving with a choice of shades.
Multilayer ceramic
Up to 98% Infrared Heat Rejection
XPEL multilayer ceramic film with the higher infrared rejection rating. Compare XR Plus if heat through the windshield or panoramic roof is your main concern.
Infrared rejection ratings are not total solar heat or cabin-temperature reductions. Performance varies with film shade and the glass.

On roll-down door windows, we shave the tint to follow the top edge of the glass. The result is a close, factory-style finish you can see when the window is lowered.
Computer-cut patterns help fit the film to your vehicle. Careful hand-finishing completes the visible edge.
Yes. OC House of Tint installs XPEL window film on R2, R1S, and R1T vehicles. Our gallery shows those models at the shop. Send the year and model so we can quote the windows, windshield, and roof options for your Rivian.
Not necessarily. Dark rear glass gives privacy, but its color alone does not tell you how much infrared heat it rejects. Ceramic film can add heat rejection to factory glass. We take its existing shade into account so the finished windows do not become darker than you want.
Ceramic windshield tint helps reduce infrared heat reaching the front seats. Roof tint can reduce heat and overhead brightness for people sitting beneath the glass. These areas receive sunlight from different directions, so adding film only to the side windows may leave you feeling sun through the windshield or roof.
No. Existing glass protection and roof configurations vary. If overhead sunlight is already comfortable, you may not need more film. If heat or glare remains a concern, OC House of Tint can check the actual roof and explain suitable options before you decide.
Both are XPEL ceramic films. XR Plus uses a multilayer construction and has the higher infrared rejection rating. XR Black is a strong everyday option; XR Plus is worth comparing when heat is the main concern. Shade is a separate choice, so either film can be selected around the amount of daylight and privacy you prefer.
We can help bring their appearance closer, but factory glass, viewing angle, and cabin lighting can affect the match. A lighter ceramic shade adds heat rejection with less darkening; a darker shade adds more privacy and glare reduction. Windshield choices also need particular attention to visibility at night.
