Nano Ceramic Window Tint, Our Top Grade (IR92)

What "nano" changes in a ceramic film

All ceramic films work the same basic way: particles in the film absorb and reject infrared while letting visible light through. The difference in a nano ceramic film is the size of those particles. They're ground so fine that they barely scatter light at all.

Smaller particles mean two things you can see and feel. The view through the glass is sharper, with less of the faint haze some films add. And the film can carry plenty of heat-rejecting material without having to be dark.

Clarity you notice after dark

Haze in a film is hardest to spot on a sunny afternoon and easiest to spot at night. Headlights, street lights and wet roads all show up any softness in the glass. Nano ceramic stays crisp, which is why drivers who spend a lot of time on the road early or late tend to choose it for the front doors.

Why a light shade can still stop the heat

Shade and heat rejection are separate in a nano ceramic film. Darkness comes from how much visible light the film lets through. Heat rejection comes from the ceramic, which targets infrared you can't see. So a light IR92 film can still keep a lot of warmth off your arm, your seats and your dash.

UV protection at every shade

Ultraviolet is a separate problem from heat. You can't feel it, but it's what ages skin and cracks a dashboard over time. Side glass lets more of it through than most people expect, which is why a driver's right arm often shows more sun damage than the left.

IR92 blocks almost all UV whether you choose a light shade or a dark one. That makes it a good fit for anyone who wants the protection without the darker look. It only works with the windows up, so keep the sunscreen handy on long drives with the glass down.

Nano ceramic window tint at legal NSW shades

Here's where IR92 earns its place. In NSW the front side windows must let through at least 35% of light, and the windows behind the driver at least 20% when there's a mirror on each side. The windscreen only takes a strip across the top. You can't go darker to beat the heat, so the film has to do the work.

Because the limit counts glass and film together, we meter every factory window before you choose. The legal table further down this page sets out each window, and our guide to NSW window tint laws covers older cars and work vehicles.

Going lighter than the limit

Some drivers want the cool without the dark look, or need a clear view for night work. With IR92 you can sit above the legal minimum at the front and keep most of the heat benefit. Ask us to show you a lighter sample next to a 35% one on your own door.

Not sure what each number looks like in real life? Our guide to window tint percentages shows them side by side.

Where IR92 sits among our three grades

We fit three ceramic-based films, and none of them has metal or dye. Rather than repeat the specs, here's how we usually match a grade to a driver. Treat it as a starting point; we'll look at your car and how you use it.

For the middle grade in more depth, see our ceramic window tinting page. For the darker, matte option, see carbon ceramic window tint. And if you're comparing film types in general, our guide on ceramic vs carbon tint explains the difference in plain terms.

Is nano ceramic window tint worth it for you?

It's our most expensive film, so it should earn its place. For some drivers it clearly does. For others, IR70 does nearly everything they need. Here's an honest split.

Worth it if

• Your car is parked in full sun for most of the day, every day

• You want a light or mid shade but still want the cabin noticeably cooler

• You notice haze, glare or reflections more than most, especially at night

• There's a big glass area, like a large rear screen or a long SUV body

• You're keeping the car for years and want the best film on it from the start

Probably more than you need if

• The car lives in a garage and does short trips

• Privacy and a dark look are the main reasons you're tinting

• You're selling the car in the near future

We won't push you to the top of the range. If a different grade suits the car better, we'll say so on the quote.

Nano ceramic on new and premium cars

A new car is the easiest time to tint. The glass is clean, there's no old film to strip, and you get the benefit from the first summer. Many owners pair IR92 with protection for the paint at the same visit, so the car comes back finished in one go.

Because tint, film and coatings are all fitted under one roof, it's one booking and one invoice. Paint protection film on the bonnet and bumper is the most common pairing.

Our service

Paint Protection Film

Paint protection film is a clear, self-healing urethane layer fitted over your paint. It takes the stone chips, grit and scuffs that would mark the panels. We correct the paint, then fit gloss, matte or colour film, from partial front to full body, at Revesby and Condell Park.

Fitting and caring for IR92 film

Top-grade film shows every speck of dust under it, so the fitting environment matters as much as the film. Every car we tint is done in a clean indoor bay, never in a driveway.

1. Sample on your glass

   We meter each window and hold IR92 samples against your own doors, in daylight, so you see the real shade before choosing.

2. Cut by plotter

   The film is cut from a pattern for your exact model, with edges that follow the glass and stop neatly at the seals.

3. Fit on the inside face

   After a thorough clean, the film is laid on the inside of the glass and worked out from the centre. Curved rear screens are heat-shrunk to shape first.

   

The first days and beyond

1. Keep the windows up for two days while the water under the film dries; allow more time in cool, damp weather.

2. Ignore a slight haze or small water spots early on, because they dry out by themselves.

3. Once the film is clear, clean it with a soft microfibre cloth and water or an ammonia-free cleaner.

4. Keep suction mounts, stickers and sharp objects off the tinted glass.

Our guide on how long window tint takes to cure goes through the drying time day by day.

What goes into a nano ceramic quote

There's no price list, because the job changes from car to car. You get a fixed written quote for your make and model before anything is cut, at no charge. These are the things that move it:

• How many windows the car has, including quarter glass and third-row windows

• How curved the rear screen is, since steep curves take longer to shape

• Whether old tint has to come off, along with its glue

• Optional extras, such as a strip across the top of the windscreen

• The grade itself: IR92 is our top film and is priced above IR70 and IR50

Ask us for a written quote and mention you're interested in IR92. We can quote the other grades alongside it, so you can compare them on your own car.

Why drivers choose us for nano ceramic tint

Tinting Xperts has fitted film since 2016, and our team has grown to 30+ fitters across two workshops. Every shade is checked against the NSW limits before fitting, the film is plotter-cut, and the work is backed by a lifetime warranty on window tint. Drop the car off in the morning and, on most tint jobs, it's ready that afternoon.

Come to our Revesby workshop on Milperra Road or our Condell Park workshop on Eldridge Road, Monday to Saturday. Want to see all three grades and every shade in one place first? Our car window tinting page has the overview.
