Automotive or car tinting is highly desirable and while the aesthetics side is a big plus there are more reasons to tint your car then you might realise.
Safety is one of those reasons. If you have ever driven a car that has old, purple or bubbly tint then you would know how hard it is to see out of the windows. Once this old tint has been removed and new tint has been put in place it is like night and day for vision. I don’t know how many times I have heard, wow I can see out of my windows again or finally I don’t need to wind my windows down to see left and right.
Once window film is applied to a car the amount of heat build up or UV radiation coming through the glass is lessened dramatically. Having young children in the back of the car is now comforting as you can rest assured knowing they won’t be getting strong exposure to the suns rays or excessive heat transparency through the glass. If pets or kids need to be left in the car while quickly ducking into the shop to grab a few things they are much safer and will stay content because the window film is working it’s magic.
Once you have applied window film to your car your interior is highly protected from excessive fading or damage to trims and when you get into your car after being in the sun after a full day at the beach it is still hot but noticeably cooler and more shaded. This effect also means less use of air conditioning in summer which equals to less fuel consumption and extra money being spent.
Another big plus of applying window film to your car is for the maximum privacy and security it provides. Without a doubt window tint will definitely darken the overall appearance of your windows creating the perfect barrier for prying eyes and helping to keep any valuables you have in your car out of clear sight.
Now let’s talk a bit about how cool window tint looks yeah… it definitely will make your car look better, guaranteed! Window tinting is used in ways to enhance the appearance of cars that are looking for that extra attention! A car can look great but I always find that it’s the window tinting that pulls it altogether in the end and gives it the desired finish. A Lot of the done up race or sports cars use window films that aren’t exactly street legal.. which isn’t a bad thing, it just means that it isn’t really safe driving on the road everyday and that if a cop pulls them over they are up for stripping and re-tinting the car or at worst be given a yellow sticker.
Now the darkest legal window film is 35% and when I get asked for limo tint that is 5%. The % or percentage means the gradient of light that enters through the film equals to that amount, making the end result darker or lighter. In recent times it is still legal to have 35% on the front doors and 20% on the rest of the car but no darker then that is allowed.
If you are looking to get your car tinted it usually takes between 1.5 to 4 hours depending on what type of car it is and the amount of work put into it to apply the film like removing and replacing trims, heat shrinking etc.
Pricing depends on the make and model of the car and also if it has tint on it already so definitely message us by clicking on our Tint Perth quoting tabs or our facebook or instagram pages so that we can get a price to suit you. I hope this post shares a little bit more light about automotive window tinting and why I think it is important and popular. Also by automotive I want to include that this also refers to cars, boats, trains, trucks, tractors, buses etc and that they all benefit greatly from having window film applied.
