Window Tinting
Applying Window Tint to automotive glass produces a richer, more distinctive appearance, dramatically enhancing the look of any type of vehicle.
We use only the finest films on the market to produce a finish that is hard to distinguish from factory glass. The benefits of which are listed below.
-
Heat Reduction
Up to a 60% heat reduction can be achieved compared to untreated glass. Window films will help your vehicle cool more rapidly, even after hours in the blazing sun by reflecting the unbearable heat out of your vehicle
-
Reduce Fading
Using our film will block 99% of the sun's harmful ultra violet (UV) rays. This, together with the heat reduction will help reduce the fading of seats and carpets. It prolongs the life of all rubber, wood, vinyl and leather inside your vehicle. It also helps to protect your dashboard, mobile, audio equipment and speakers.

Protection from UV rays
As mentioned above, our films block 99% of the sun's UV rays. This is the principal cause of skin cancer and premature skin aging. We all know how we must protect our children and pets from these harmful rays, but the stick-on screens and blinds that are often used only limit the direct sunlight - the harmful solar rays still get through. Parents will know how children become restless and agitated when they are too hot in a car. Our films will keep your children cool and they can't rip it off and throw it at the driver - unlike stick-on shields!
-
Reduce Glare And Driver Fatigue
The film reduces potentially dangerous glare from the sun, headlights and reflective surfaces. The reduction of this glare can actually make your driving safer. Sun strips on the front windscreen are also useful, especially in the winter to spring months, whilst the sun is low on the horizon.
-
Increase Safety and Security
It will help to hold together broken glass if it is shattered in an accident. However don't worry, it will not trap you in the car as it is very easy (and a lot safer) to push the glass OUTWARDS once it has broken. In contrast it is very hard to push it inwards, like a thief would, if they were trying to break into your vehicle.
-
Increase Privacy
Window tinting provides an increased level of privacy from the prying eyes of thieves.
The law on window tinting
Vehicle & Operator Services Agency (VOSA) legal statement
Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 as amended specify the minimum levels of light that must pass through the windscreen and front side windows.
The limitations are:-
-
Motor vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985:
-
The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
-
The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.
If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light, the vehicle does not meet legal requirements.
