Automotive Window Tinting


Window tinting films can totally enhance the look of your vehicle giving many benefits and features to comply with your everyday needs. Available in a number of shades and colours to match the colour of your vehicle or to reduce heat and glare whilst giving privacy and security, we install only the highest quality films available on the present market.
Colour stable dyes within the film will ensure that your vehicle looks great for many years to come with extensive installation and manufacturers warranties with every tint backed up with all of the necessary warranty certificates giving you piece of mind with your purchase.

With more and more car manufacturers installing privacy glass to brand new vehicles, the benefits of tinted film to a vehicles glass is becoming more recognised within the industry with tinted glass becoming a selling point at the point of sale.

Enhanced Look

Installation of a darker tinted film to your vehicles glass will totally enhance the look of the vehicle, making it stand out from the rest and giving the appearance of a more refined and sleek look. Why spend thousands replacing your vehicle for a newer model when, at a fraction of the cost, you can enhance the look of your existing vehicle, revitalising it and giving it a fresh new lease of life.

Reduce Heat

A darker tinted film will reduce the heat within your vehicle dramatically, ensuring of a cooler environment inside and making long journeys on a hot summer’s day bearable. For those wishing to reduce the heat within the vehicle without dramatically changing the external look found with a darker film, a specialised Ultra Performance film is available in a slight tint or clear form which will give the same benefits.
Reducing heat levels within the vehicle will assist in preventing driver fatigue on long journeys whilst giving the added benefit of better fuel efficiency as Air Conditioning systems will not be required as much to reduce the heat within the vehicle. For families, excessive heat can cause young children to be irritable on long journeys which can be frustrating. Pet owners transporting dogs and other animals within the vehicle can also benefit with the installation of a tinted film to the rear glass of the vehicle.

Glare Reduction

Excessive glare and dazzle from the sun and car headlights can be reduced by as much as 92% depending on film type, protecting both occupants and the driver. Ideally suited for dog owners and families with young children, reducing glare within the rear of the vehicle will ensure maximum protection from the sun preventing sun stroke and eye strain. Sun blinds can reduce glare slightly but they will not reduce heat and Ultraviolet rays from entering the glass, a concern that we are all trying to protect our children from which could have long term effects if not addressed.

Privacy

Installation of a tinted film to your vehicles glass will give added privacy to you and your family. A darker tinted film will dramatically reduce views into your vehicle ensuring privacy at all times without compromising on your vision looking out.

Security

Solar tinted film will provide security day and night; preventing potential thieves from looking in at your possessions and items of value. A darker film installed to the rear glass of your vehicle will give that added sense of security, allowing for items of value left on the back seat or boot by mistake not to be noticed. A dark Limo film installed to the back glass of vans will prevent views of expensive tools and machinery by potential thieves, preventing a possible smash and grab scenario and the inconvenience of theft and damage to the vehicle.

Safety

In the event of a vehicle accident, the film will hold a percentage of the broken glass within the framework of the vehicle, preventing injury from glass fragments. * Solar film will only give a small amount of protection to the occupants of the vehicle and so it is recommended that for those concerned with vehicle safety, our thicker smashgard safety films are advisable for the maximum protection.

Ultraviolet

All of our films contain an inhibitor which will eliminate the risks of Ultraviolet rays from entering the vehicle by as much as 98%. Ultraviolet rays from the sun are the main cause of fabric fading to a vehicles upholstery and internal trim. In recent documentation within the national press, UV from the sun can play a major factor in causing skin cancer to drivers subjected to long periods of time in the sun.
