Did You Know?

Car Tinting VLT regulations

VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) measures the light that passes through glass, so the lower the VLT percentage, the darker the film. Current Victorian regulations (commonly referred to as Darkest Legal) allow for 20% VLT for windows located behind the driver and 35% for driver and front passenger side windows. 

Privacy Glass

Some Automotive companies release vehicles with darkened glass in the rear of the cars. It is dyed glass installed by the manufacturer therefore giving occupants more privacy, therefore often referred to as ‘Privacy Glass’. Privacy glass will not give you the heat or glare reduction that window film does.

Film Removal

Unfortunately not all people choose a reputable tinting company and they get cheap imported window film applied to their vehicle and they’re surprised about it failing. Remember cheap does not necessarily mean quality! We have removed and replaced failing window film from plenty of cars over the years. Bubbling, peeling and/or discolouration of tint is a sign of a very low quality window film and can cause poor driver visibility and is recommended to be rectified professionally. 

WARRANTY

Tint FX prides itself on professionally installing reputable brands of automotive window film known for their quality, colour stability and patented scratch resistant coating. The window films we offer our customers are durable and virtually maintenance free withstanding the elements for the lifetime of your vehicle so you can be assured a quality product. As a family owned and operated business we want to ensure your complete satisfaction. That’s why we offer a lifetime warranty on automotive films and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still not sure?  Read through some of most common questions and answers below.

We only install reputable and technology leading window films therefore we offer a lifetime warranty on all automotive window film. Residential or commercial window film applications will have between seven years and a lifetime warranty depending on the film used.

Warranties for window film cover most potential defects such as demetalisation, peeling, bubbling, delaminating and colour change. The warranty does not cover accidental or personal damage to the window film.

IR refers to Infrared Energy. Sunlight is made up of approx. 53% IR energy 44% visible light and 3% UV. So if a window film is claiming to block 95% IR, it needs to be noted that only 95% of the 53% IR Energy is being rejected. IR values only contribute to a portion of the total heat being rejected. Read more here. (Link to new page.  Read more here.

We recommend not to wind down windows for at least 48 hours after installation. It is also important not to clean the glass during the drying period, normally 21 days.

Window films are mostly applied to the inside of the glass. However there are some specifically designed window films that can be applied externally. A professional installer will recommend the best film for the job.

Absolutely! We even have a secure key drop if you wish to leave or pick up your car out of business hours. Simply ring us to make arrangements to make the process as convenient as possible.

Yes we can. The removal of existing window film should be left to a professional to avoid damage to the rear demister.

Due to the curing period after installation, we recommend to refrain from cleaning tinted windows for 30 days after installation. After this time, you can clean your windows using non-abrasive paper towels or cotton cleaning cloths. To avoid scratching the film, do not use scouring pads or abrasive cloths.

A slightly hazy or milky appearance may be noticed after install. Don’t panic! This is completely normal and part of the drying or curing process and will disappear in time. It may take longer to disappear in the colder months and we suggest to put your vehicle in the sun to speed up the process.

Depends on the vehicle and how many windows there are but generally we suggest to allow three hours from start to finish for installation.

The cost of having your car tinted will depend on which automotive window film you select and the size of your vehicle. Contact us for a quote and if you’re getting super cheap quotes from elsewhere, there’s often a reason as to why and it may end up costing you more in the long run!

Unfortunately not. If you want the best possible result you must have your car tinted in a clean and controlled environment free from dirt and wind and that is why we encourage our clients to bring their car to us. We offer our customers a comfortable waiting area and are conveniently located within walking distance to Heatherdale station, Ringwood Square and Eastland Shopping Centre.

You can be assured that Tint FX holds all relevant public liability and workplace insurances, construction industry card and is a member of the WFAANZ.

Window tinting is a specialised trade and best left to a professional installer who will use the correct techniques and specialised equipment. Our window films must only be installed by a professional installer in order to supply a warranty.

I was super impressed with Ben and Ben. They were very polite, super efficient, very hard working and did a fabulous... job on my windows at my home. My only regret is that i wish I had of done it years ago. Well done Ben and Ben :) I have been recommending you both to family and friends. The heat that has been reduced on my front windows is incredible. I find myself just standing at the windows looking out at our beautiful views without the glare. The privacy frostings placed in both bathrooms is amazing. I cannot rave enough about your work. The pride you both take in your work is outstanding. I will be back in touch with you regarding car window tintingread more

Another fantastic review to add to the list; Ben is a true professional, from a customer service point of view, right... through to the actual installation of the tint. The premesis is clean and well kept throughout, seeing Ben work is like watching an artist at play. It's refreshing to see someone with good product knowledge, attention to detail and interpersonal skills to match. An imperfection in the film was picked up in one window and promptly resolved and I was left feeling satisfied I chose the right place to do my tint installation.read more

Ben was an absolute gem to deal with. Extremely professional and took the time to show and explain the different tints... available. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and the finished result resonates with this fact. I will recommend Ben to my friends and I will be back with other members of my families cars soon. I think the fact that he keeps the workshop clean, functional and meticulously organised, speaks volumes about the quality of his work. Thanks mate.read more

Ben provided advice and guidance on the tinting process for my new car This included how to retain heat during winter... and not lose it out the panoramic roof, as well as protecting the kids when the vehicle already had privacy glass in the back. The work is excellent - crystal clear clarity, with a gorgeous dark tint.I also had the paint protection film applied - it's excellent, no one in the family has noticed it until I've pointed it out. With kids dragging their school bags in and out of the boot, it's gratefully one less thing I have to worry about (not to mention them flinging the doors open into the garage wall).Will not hesitate to bring my next vehicle to TintFX. It made the tinting offer from the dealership look terrible (on cost alone), and the quality is exceptional.read more
