Types of Window Films We Offer
Nano Ceramic Window Tint
Nano Ceramic tint is one of the most advanced types of window film available today. This technology uses ceramic particles that are non-metallic, non-conductive, and highly effective at blocking out heat and UV rays.
Dyed Window Tint
Dyed window tint is one of the most cost-effective options, offering a sleek, uniform darkened appearance. The film is made by applying a layer of dye to a polyester base, which helps absorb heat and block UV rays.
Metalised Window Tint
Metalised window tint features tiny metallic particles embedded into the film. These particles reflect sunlight, reducing heat buildup inside your vehicle while offering increased durability.
Carbon Window Tint
Carbon tint is a high-performance film made from carbon particles. Unlike traditional metalised films, carbon tint offers a matte finish with a sleek, modern look. It provides excellent heat rejection and UV protection while maintaining a non-reflective appearance.
Hybrid Window Tint
Hybrid window tint combines dyed and metalised films, offering the privacy and style of dyed tint with the heat rejection and durability of metalized tint. It provides a balanced mix of performance, style, and value, while reducing glare and blocking UV rays.
