Car Window Tinting

At A1 Windscreens, we only use quality film that comes with a lifetime warranty. Beware of cheap imports as there are lots of low-grade films on the market which look ok once fitted but will not last very long.

Turning purple and bubbling is the main problem with low-quality films, they also have very little UV and heat resistance, which means you will have a hot car when left in the sun and damage to interior trims and possible sunburn for people inside.

What is legally termed as dark?

Front windows in line with the driver must have no less than 35% VLT, Windows rear of the driver must have no less than 20% VLT to comply with State Regulations. Commercial Vehicles and buses that carry goods have no minimum VLT requirement for the windows behind the driver’s seat.

Example: If the sunlight is at 100%, you can only block out 65% with your tint, leaving 35% Visible Light Transmittance entering the cabin. Vic Roads enforces a 35% VLT (the combined total of the glass and film) on all windows, excluding the Front Windscreen, which should not be tinted. Therefore, a window tinted below a VLT of 35% will render your vehicle unroadworthy.

Make sure your window film is of good quality and has these specs, Visible light Transmittance 35% which means the windows are tinted dark as legal so as not to affect your driving at night and keeping your car roadworthy, Total Solar Energy Rejected 53% this is the amount of heat stopped from entering through your glass to inside the car, Reflectivity 6% this means the glass when tinted does not look like a mirror, making it easy to see through.

UV Rejected 99% means total protection for you and your family from the sun’s burning rays, and last but not least, a lifetime warranty.

At A1 Windscreens, we make it easy for you to have your pride and joy tinted at one of our workshops in Hallam or Pakenham, local pick up and drop off can be arranged.

So don’t waste your hard-earned money on cheap films, let us install the right film for your car which will last the distance, and look good for years to come. All our work is guaranteed.
