Car Tints to Rev Up Your Ride and….
Banish the Heat
Car window tints kick the heat to the curb. No more burning seats or steering wheels – you’ll stay cool as a cucumber, even on scorching summer days.
UV Shield
Car tints block a whopping 99% of UV radiation, looking out for your skin and your car’s insides. Say farewell to premature fading, cracks, and other sun-induced damage.
See Clearly, Glare-Free
With tinted car windows, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear visibility day and night. Reduced glare means safer and more enjoyable drives.
Sleek and Non-glare Finish
Tints come in various shades; choose a finish that not only looks good but also amps up your car’s appeal.
Built to Last
Most good quality tints give you a bang for the buck, so you can trust that your investment in it is for the long haul. Always check the tint manufacturer with your service provider to be assured.
There are also various types of car window tints available in the market, let’s help you understand your options and choose wisely.
Metalised Window Tint
Got a car that’s hotter than a summer barbie? Metalised window tint is your shiny shield. It adds a hint of metal to the glass, and voilà, it becomes a heat and glare-busting champ. You’ll love how it reflects the harsh Aussie sun. Plus, it’s tough as nails, so no fading over time. But it’s not the cheapest option.
Carbon Window Tint
If you’re a sun-worrier or living in one of our sizzling locales, carbon window tint is your go-to mate. Carbon tints block those UV rays and heat like a champ. It’s built to last, no fading business here. Just remember, it’s a bit of a splurge compared to the basic tints.
Ceramic Window Tint
Want the top dog of window tints? Ceramic is the one. It adds a layer of ceramic particles to your glass, creating a UV and heat barrier that’s unbeatable. It comes in two variants: Ceramic and nano-ceramic tints. It’s tougher than a two-dollar steak and doesn’t fade over time. But, true-blue, it comes with a price tag.
Hybrid Window Tint
Hybrid window tint is like mixing your favourite flavours. You get the best of both worlds, like the benefits of dyed and metalised tints in one. It’s a ripper for heat, glare, and UV protection.
Another thing you need to check is the local government rules before you tint the car windows.
Rules laid down by VIC Roads for car tinting
VIC Roads has specific rules when it comes to window tinting. Windshields must maintain a minimum of 70% Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Tinting is allowed only during manufacturing and can’t cover the entire windshield. But you can have a tinted band with 70% VLT above the wiper arc or in the top 10%, as long as it doesn’t mess with the sensors or cameras. Front-side windows should have a VLT of 35%, and if you’ve got rearview mirrors on both sides, windows behind the driver can have a 20% VLT.
Picking the right tint comes down to your needs and budget. Need something easy on the wallet? Go for dyed. Ready to splash out for top-notch performance? Ceramic’s your pick.
