Car Window Tinting

Car window tinting is an automotive service that is growing all the time and adds a subtle, but unique touch to your car, van or any other vehicle. The technology has advanced so much now that it can help protect your windows from chips too, and the tint is available in a number of shades, so you can go for limo black tint, or a lighter finish.

Tinted windows look cool and they look important, simple as that. You only see them on high end vehicles such as a Maybach, a Rolls Royce or a Range Rover, along with the occasional boy racer that doesn’t want the world to see the shame on his face from driving a ruined Vauxhall Corsa. However, if they hadn’t added that horrendous body kit and just detailed and personalised their car in other ways, it would look 100 times better.

Those that have their car windows tinted professionally all agree that it helps smarten up the overall image of the vehicle, and makes it look sleeker. A dark tint on any window peeks the interest of the public as they want to see who is driving or what is inside, so if you have just had an awesome graphic vinyl wrap installed and you want to draw even more attention and interest to it, go one step further and tint your windows as well!

Car window tinting is just another great way to personalise your vehicle to make it stand out from the crowd in an easy, inexpensive way and you can even now tint your headlights and brake lights. It helps keep the car cooler as it helps reflect away UV Rays, it adds extra privacy to the cabin, but it doesn’t ruin the look of your car as some modifications can.

Decrease heat

Car Window Tinting films can reduce heat in the car by rejecting up to 63% of solar energy when compared to standard automotive glass. This will improve comfort within the car and reduces the amount of air conditioning needed, particularly on warm days. Not only will the car feel far more neutral when you step in, but if you use this for a store or a home you can save the room from becoming too warm. This is an excellent way to keep the sun out of your face and out of the room, allowing everything to stay nice and calm.

Reduces Glare

Although this might not be something that immediately springs to mind when considering window tinting, it can actually be a great aid when trying to reduce glare from the sun and headlights at night. These are both potentially dangerous scenarios when driving. If you find those mornings when the sun is bouncing off the road a bit hard to deal with, you can give yourself much greater comfort this way.

Protects from UV rays

No more trucker arm with effective window tinting, UV’s can be reduced by 99%, making your car a safe place from the sun. This will also protect your interior surfaces and fabrics from fading, caused by direct sunlight. Additionally, with skin safety more important than ever these days it can be a useful way to keep yourself away from excess sun exposure.

Safety & Security

Having a film of protection on your vehicle glass will actually help add a safety element if involved in a road traffic collision by preventing shards of glass flying into the vehicle. It can also make your possessions less obvious to any potential smash and grab criminality. These windows are reinforced and would take a significant force to put them through – you can rely on both the quality of the glass, as well as how sturdy it is.

Appearance: Well quite frankly, it looks fantastic! Tinted windows add a much more mysterious and adult look to anything, and this can be the catalyst that you need to really make yourself stand out. By the same token, it can help you maintain your privacy – people will be looking in, but they won’t be able to see much!

Headlight tinting is a relatively new process but we absolutely love the results we are seeing. Why not consider adding that meaner look to your car with headlight tinting, especially if you already have a dark coloured vehicle.

You certainly can, as with most automotive customisation services, but it takes skill to get it right, which is why many people opt to go with a professional to get the job done right first time. Using the best materials available often makes far more sense than using cheap window film, so if you feel you cannot afford the best, we would suggest holding on until you can. Spending cheap will only end in the work needing to be redone and then you are paying twice.

Usually, yes they can. In automotive, any glass can be tinted but there are window tinting rules to be aware of. For example, windscreens and front windows alongside the driver, are limited to a maximum of 70% tint, unlike the rears that can be tinted to 5%, which is extremely dark.

Windows can also be tinted in architectural scenarios too, such as on conservatories to keep them cooler, offices to reduce glare and shop fronts to add reflective finishes to the glass, adding privacy and protection from UV, just like in a car.

It is similar to car wrapping, but done on a window. The film is applied as a whole sheet to the inside of the window, avoiding seams that would be apparent using more than one piece, and held in place with strong adhesive that is on the film itself like a sticker.

The installer will apply the film using a squeegee, which pushes air from under the film allowing it to bond to the glass and preventing bubbles from appearing in the film.
