Choosing your percentage
Most customers choose a 20% tint on the rear windows — it gives a sleek, uniform finish that offers excellent privacy without completely blocking visibility from inside the vehicle. For the front windows, we apply up to the legal limit of 70% VLT, which maintains clear forward visibility while subtly reducing glare and UV exposure.
If your vehicle already has factory privacy glass (usually around 20–25% VLT), we generally recommend adding a 35% or 20% film to achieve a darker, more uniform look across all windows. This gives the car a cleaner appearance and enhanced privacy while ensuring the front windows still meet UK legal standards.

Tinting FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Are tinted windows legal in the UK?
Yes — for vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985, the front windscreen must allow at least 75% of light through, and the front side windows must allow at least 70%. There are no legal VLT limits for rear side windows or the rear windscreen.
How do I care for my tints after installation?
- Avoid cleaning the windows for at least 7 days to allow the film to fully cure.
- Do not put your windows down for the first 24 hours, as this can lift the edges of the film.
- After the first week, clean with a soft microfibre cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner only.
- Avoid stickers, suction cups and abrasive tools that can scratch or pull at the film edges.
What warranty do you offer?
Every tint installation comes with a 24-month installation warranty, covering film adhesion, bubbling and peeling. It's completely normal to see small water bubbles or haziness immediately after installation — these are moisture pockets trapped between the film and glass, and they settle within a few days as the film cures. Our high-quality films are also backed by the manufacturer for extended performance.
Can you remove or replace existing tints?
Yes — we can professionally remove or replace old or damaged tints without harming your glass, ensuring a clean and safe reinstallation.
Do window tints help with heat and UV protection?
Absolutely. Our premium films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reduce glare, and keep your car cooler — protecting your interior and improving comfort.
Is the chameleon windscreen legal?
Yes — our chameleon tints are installed within legal limits. As long as the film allows more than 75% visible light transmission, it is safe and road legal.
How long does window tinting take?
Most tinting appointments take around 2 to 4 hours, depending on the service and the number of windows. Vehicles booked for multiple services may take longer. We'll always confirm your estimated completion time when you book.
