FAQs

What is window tint made out of?

There are two main types of tinting in New Zealand. Window tint and film. Film is used most often and is made from polyethylene terephthalate, which is a type of polyester. This material has great clarity, tensile strength, and dimensional stability and can be used on various surfaces, making it a great option. Window ceramic tint, on the other hand, is made from microscopic particles of titanium nitride and film. Although more expensive, ceramic tint is stronger, more durable and doesn’t fade as quickly as other films.

Do you put tint on the inside or outside?

Window tint is always fitted on the inside of the glass. Although you might see your tinting expert putting the film on the outside, this is purely to cut and shrink the film during the initial stages of the installation to ensure it’s the perfect size before finally installing it.

Does window tinting reduce heat in the house?

One of the benefits of window tinting is that it reduces the solar heat inside your home or other building. This will effectively lower your energy bill. Tinting also keeps the sun’s rays as well as other harmful radiation from affecting appliances, utilities and furniture within the home or office.

Can plants grow behind tinted windows?

Even though window film blocks out the rays of the sun, it doesn’t block out the blue and red rays that plants require for growth and survival. This means that you should be able to keep your indoor plants thriving, even if you have tinted windows.
