FAQ
Vehicle Window Tinting
1. What are the benefits of window tinting?
Window tinting offers privacy, heat reduction, UV protection, glare control, and an overall sleek appearance. It also helps protect your vehicle's interior from fading and cracking over time.
2. Is window tinting legal in New Zealand?
Yes, but there are legal limits. For most vehicles in NZ, the front side windows must allow at least 35% of visible light through (VLT). Rear windows may be darker in some cases. We always follow NZTA regulations to ensure compliance.
3. How long does window tinting take?
Most standard vehicle tint jobs are done in a day; exact time depends on the vehicle type and number of windows. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.
4. How long will the tint last?
High-quality window tints can last up to 10 years or more, depending on the film used and how the vehicle is maintained. We use professional-grade films backed by manufacturer warranties.
5. Can I roll down my windows after tinting?
You’ll need to wait around 3 to 5 days before rolling down tinted windows. This allows the film to fully cure and bond to the glass without risk of peeling or bubbling.
6. Does window tinting affect visibility at night?
Not significantly if you choose the right shade. We’ll help you select a film that balances privacy and visibility, so you feel comfortable both day and night.
7. Can old or damaged tint be removed?
Yes. We offer tint removal services to strip old, bubbling, or discoloured film before applying a new one. This ensures a clean, professional finish.
8. Will tinting interfere with my radio, GPS, or phone signal?
Not with the films we use. Our premium, non-metallic window films are designed to be signal-safe and won’t interfere with electronics in your car.
9. Is window tinting covered by warranty?
Absolutely. Our tinting services come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, covering issues like peeling, bubbling, fading, or colour change.

Residential & Commercial Window Tinting

Yes. Tinted windows can lower indoor temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning. Many clients see a noticeable drop in energy costs, especially during hot months.

Our films are designed to preserve natural light while cutting glare and heat. You’ll still enjoy bright spaces—just without the harsh sun or UV damage.
