Benefits of Window Tinting
UV Protection
Quality tint blocks up to 99% of UV rays, protecting your skin on long drives and preventing your interior from fading, cracking and degrading.
Heat Reduction
Ceramic and carbon films significantly reduce solar heat entering the cabin, reducing air conditioning load and improving fuel efficiency.
Glare Reduction
Reduces eye strain from direct sunlight and headlight glare from other vehicles — safer and more comfortable driving.
Privacy & Security
Darker rear tint makes it harder to see valuables left in the vehicle, adding a layer of privacy and security.
Interior Preservation
Protects leather, vinyl, plastics and fabric from UV-induced fading and deterioration over time.
Shatter Resistance
Tint film holds shattered glass together in an accident, reducing injury risk from flying glass fragments.
Aesthetics
A quality tint job gives any vehicle a cleaner, more premium appearance from the outside.
Car Window Tint Film Options —
Which Is Right for You?
We offer three grades of window tint film to suit every vehicle, use case and budget. Our team will help you choose the right option at your free consultation.
The entry-level option — dyed film uses a layer of dye between the adhesive and protective coating to absorb light and reduce heat. Good for aesthetics and basic UV blocking at a budget-friendly price point. Prone to fading over time.

- Best ForBudget, UV basics

Carbon tint uses carbon particles rather than dye for improved heat rejection without fading. Provides a dark, matte finish and blocks more infrared heat than dyed film. No interference with mobile or GPS signals.
- Heat Rejection

The premium choice — ceramic tint uses nano-ceramic particles to reject up to 65% of solar heat, block 99% of UV rays, and maintain excellent clarity. Significantly superior heat rejection. No signal interference.

Car Window Tinting Laws in NSW —
What You Need to Know
Window tinting in NSW is regulated under Australian Design Rules (ADR) and NSW Road Rules. The legal requirements depend on the window position. Our team will advise on legal tint levels for your specific vehicle and ensure your installation is fully compliant.
| Window Position | Legal VLT | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windscreen | AS/NZS 2080 | No aftermarket tint on AS1/AS2 glass. A light visor strip above the AS1 line is permissible. |
| Front Side Windows | Min 35% VLT | Tint allowed, but must allow at least 35% of light through. |
| Rear Side Windows | Min 20% VLT | Darker tint allowed — popular for privacy. |
| Rear Window | Min 20% VLT | Requires dual external rear-view mirrors if under 35% VLT. |
VLT refers to the percentage of visible light that passes through the glass — so 20% VLT means 80% of light is blocked. Darker = lower VLT percentage. Our team will advise on legal tint levels for your specific vehicle at your consultation and ensure your installation is fully compliant.
