Heat + humidity = tint and ceramic are non-negotiable. SalesThumb is purpose-built for the 600 of Louisiana aftermarket shops — film roll inventory in feet, LA VLT compliance, AI on every screen, customer photo galleries with tip-the-tech.
Built for shops in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and across Louisiana
Major Louisiana markets
Louisiana market context
Louisiana's heat + humidity make window film and ceramic standard. New Orleans pulls a steady wrap market driven by tourism vehicles + commercial graphics. Salt-air corrosion on the Gulf coast drives PPF demand.
Louisiana film tint laws
Louisiana's front side window floor dropped from 40% to 25% VLT effective August 1, 2025 (Act 143/HB119); rear side windows stay at 25%, but the rearmost back window is only 12% VLT - darker than the rear sides, not the same figure. Windshield: non-red/amber strip, max 5 inches from the top. Medical exemption requires a physician's certification and a DPS-issued decal.
SalesThumb's state VLT compliance check uses these LA thresholds at quote time. Out-of-spec selections trigger an auto-attached customer waiver to the invoice.
