Window tinting guides
How car window film works, how the film types differ, and how to choose a shade that's legal and comfortable in Sydney.
3guides
Window film is graded by how much visible light it lets through (VLT) and by how much heat it stops. Dyed, carbon and ceramic films can look the same shade and still behave very differently in summer.
These guides explain the differences in plain terms, written and reviewed by the people who fit film every day at our Revesby and Condell Park workshops.
