Professional Window Tinting

SIX REASONS TO TINT YOUR VEHICLE, BOAT, OFFICE OR CONSERVATORY. There are many reasons to tint your glass, from protection against health concerns, safety and privacy reasons, and preserving your investment. Listed below are what we think are the main reasons.

• AVOID OVERHEATING: Your interior can be up to 60% cooler during those hot summer days with proper window film, compared to untreated glass. Save on air conditioning too.
  
• PROTECT YOUR SKIN: Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause skin cancer. Window film can block 99% of these damaging rays.
• PREVENT CRACKING AND FADING: Harmful UV rays and heat cause car upholstery to crack and fade. Window film acts like a sunscreen.
• ENHANCED PRIVACY: Window film protects your privacy and contents. What a burglar can't see, he won't steal.
• ACCIDENT PROTECTION: In an accident, window film can help shattered glass hold together, protecting the occupants from dangerous flying shards.
• AESTHETICALLY PLEASING: Professionally installed window film looks good...full stop!

For further information on how window film is made and its properties etc, please follow the link.

To ensure a perfect fit on a rear screen we have to shrink it. Want to see how? please follow the links. The top link shows a breif video of an Audi rear screen being shrunk, the bottom link shows myself (not photo-genic) in a series of frames shrinking the back window of an Astra.

WINDOW TINTING LAW

V.O.S.A. (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency)

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 limits are:

Motor vehicles first used before 1 April 1985:

The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted throuh them.

Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985:

The light transmitted throught he 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 throuh less light, then the vehicle does not meet legal requirements.

70%

60%

50%

40%

35%

30%

20%

50% Blue

The percentage value relates to the amount of natural light the film will allow through it, on the left are a few samples.

Changes in tint percentages are very subtle, and when mixed correctly on a vehicle, can look absolutely stunning.

**If you think you may have a vehicle with illegaly tinted front windows but are not quite sure, please bring it in.  We can soon tell if they are illegaly tinted, and if you wish, we will remove the film for a small charge.
