How it works

What the film
actually does.

Tint is sold on darkness and bought for heat, and those are not the same thing. Here is what the numbers mean, what the law allows, and what happens on the day.

Four words that decide
what you pay for.

VLTVisible Light Transmission
VLT is the percentage of visible light a window lets through. 35% VLT means 35% of light gets in — so the lower the number, the darker the tint. It is measured through the film and the glass together, not the film on its own.
TSERTotal Solar Energy Rejected
TSER is the share of the sun's total energy the glass stops — ultraviolet, visible and infrared combined. It is the only number that tells you whether a cabin will actually be cooler. A film advertising 99% IR rejection can still have a mediocre TSER.
Ceramic filmNon-metallic nano-ceramic
Ceramic film uses non-conductive ceramic particles to absorb and reflect infrared heat. Because nothing in it is metallic, it does not interfere with phone, GPS, tyre-pressure sensors or keyless entry — which older metallised films do.
Dyed filmThe cheap alternative
Dyed film blocks light with pigment alone. It makes the glass dark without rejecting much heat, and the dye breaks down under UV — which is why old tint turns purple and bubbles. We do not fit it.

01  /  How it works

Blocks the heat,
not just the light.

A dyed film just blocks light — all of it, evenly, until the car is dark and still hot. A ceramic film is selective: it takes out the ultraviolet and the infrared and leaves you the part you actually see with.

The law

The darkest legal tint
in NSW.

Front side windows must let through at least 35% of light. Rear side and back windows can go down to 20%. The windscreen allows a tinted band across the top 10% only. Those are the limits we fit to, and we check the glass before we cut anything.

  • Front side windows

    35%

    Minimum VLT. Darker than this is a defect notice.

  • Rear side & back

    20%

    The factory-privacy look, legally.

  • Windscreen

    Top 10%

    A visor band only. No film on the swept area.

Figures are typical for the ceramic film we fit at 35% VLT; exact performance varies with glass type and vehicle. We check VLT on the car before you commit to a shade.

02  /  What happens

Most cars are done
the same day.

Drop it off in the morning, drive it home in the afternoon. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Tell us the car

    Make, model and what's bothering you — heat, glare, privacy, or all three. Two minutes, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Pick your shade

    We walk you through legal limits and show you the film on your own glass before anything is cut.

  3. 03

    We install

    Computer-cut patterns, fitted in a dust-controlled bay. Most cars are done in two to four hours.

  4. 04

    Cure and go

    Leave the windows up for two days while the film cures. Then it's yours, warranty and all.
