North Carolina market

Charlotte, Research Triangle, and a balanced market.

Charlotte and the Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) drive most of the North Carolina tint volume. The state's 35% uniform law lets shops standardize on a single VLT around the vehicle for visual consistency. Humid summers push heat-rejection demand; the corporate concentration in RTP creates a steady fleet and executive-vehicle market. Architectural film demand on Charlotte's commercial high-rises is a separate, growing market.
