New Mexico market

High-desert UV, permissive law, three distinct metros.

New Mexico runs one of the most permissive laws in the country at 20% VLT on all four sides — and one of the most UV-intense climates. High elevation across most of the state means UV exposure is significantly stronger than at sea level, which makes ceramic UV rejection an easier sell than in lower-altitude states. Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces each anchor their own micro-markets. Dry climate means less humidity-driven heat fatigue but more pure-sun heat load.
