Your car wasn't designed for Australian UV. This is the fix.

Australia's UV index regularly hits Extreme. That's what cracks dashes, fades leather, and kills cheap tint in two summers. Our ceramic film blocks 99% of UV and has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty for the original owner.

Interior Stays Like New

Protect your new interior from day one. No cracked dash, no faded leather, no sun-damaged trim.

Less Strain on Your AC

Cooler cabin means the AC isn't working overtime. Greater comfort, less fuel.

Privacy and a Sharper Look

The finish and presence your car deserves

Choose Your Shade

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) controls how dark the tint looks. Lower number = darker tint. NSW requires 35%+ on front side windows and 20%+ on rears.

Zero Risk of a Defect Notice

We use quality ceramic film at known VLT ratings matched to your vehicle's factory glass. VLT meter verification is available on request. You'll never get pulled over because of our work.

How We Tint Your Car

  1. 1

    Assessment

    We check your windows and talk through what you're after. If you want the darkest legal shade, we measure the factory glass VLT first because it varies between manufacturers. That measurement determines which film gets you as close to the limit as possible without going over.

  2. 2

    Glass Prep

    Every window gets cleaned inside and out, then scraped to remove any residue, dust, or adhesive from factory stickers. Film won't bond properly to a dirty surface, and any speck of dust trapped underneath will show.

  3. 3

    Precision Cut

    We cut the film to your car's exact window shape using digital templates. No freehand blade work on your glass. The templates are updated for new models as they're released, so even if your car just came out, we have the pattern.

  4. 4

    Application

    Film goes on wet, then gets squeegeed to push out water and air. The edges are tucked into the window seals for a clean finish. Each window takes 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    VLT Check

    If you want it, we can verify the final VLT reading with a photometric meter after installation. You'll know exactly where you stand before you drive away.

Types of Window Tint Film

Not all window tint is the same product. There are four main types, and the differences matter. Dyed film is the cheapest option. It darkens the glass but does almost nothing for heat, and it degrades fast in Australian UV. Within a few years it purples, bubbles, and needs replacing. Carbon film lasts longer and holds its colour, but it still doesn't block infrared heat. Hybrid film mixes carbon and ceramic particles, so you get some real heat rejection at a mid-range price. Ceramic film is what we fit on most cars. It blocks 45 to 80% of infrared heat depending on the product, lasts 10+ years, and doesn't interfere with GPS or phone signal. We don't stock dyed film at all. For most cars in Sydney, ceramic is the right call. If you want the full comparison, read our ceramic tint vs regular tint breakdown.

Fitted Right the First Time

Cheap film bubbles, goes blurry, and starts peeling within a couple of years. DIY kits and budget installers aren't much better. We use quality ceramic film and back every job with a workmanship guarantee.

No bubbles. No blurriness. No cost to redo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, window tinting is legal in NSW as long as it meets the required visible light transmission (VLT) levels. Front side windows need at least 35% VLT. Rear side windows and the rear windscreen must allow at least 20% VLT. Film reflectance must not exceed 10%. We stay across the current regulations so every job is fully compliant. No risk of defect notices. For a full breakdown of limits and fines, read our guide to the darkest legal tint in NSW.

The darkest legal tint for front side windows in NSW is 35% VLT, meaning 35% of light must still pass through. Rear side windows and the rear windscreen must allow at least 20% VLT. We'll help you choose a shade that balances privacy, heat reduction, and legality. Not sure whether to go ceramic or hybrid film? See our ceramic tint vs regular tint comparison.

Plan on leaving your car for half a day. Drop it off in the morning and pick it up after lunch. We'll give you a time estimate when you book in. For a full cost breakdown, see our window tinting cost guide.

Not when it's installed professionally. We use precision cutting and application techniques that work safely around rear demisters and heated elements. Cheap DIY kits or inexperienced installers can cause issues, but professional installation avoids this. Your windows and defroster will work exactly as they should. Read more about professional vs DIY window tinting.

LLumar film carries a lifetime manufacturer's warranty against bubbling, peeling, and discolouration. The warranty applies to the original vehicle owner — if you sell the car, it doesn't transfer to the next owner. We also provide our own separate workmanship guarantee on every install.

Ceramic window tinting for a standard sedan starts from around $495+. The price depends on the number of windows and the film type. We quote based on your specific car. For a full pricing breakdown by vehicle type, see our window tinting cost guide.

Ceramic window tint blocks 99% of UV radiation across both UVA and UVB wavelengths. That's the same level of protection regardless of how dark or light the film is. A 70% VLT ceramic film blocks the same UV as a 20% VLT ceramic film. UV is what fades leather, cracks dashboards, and damages skin. Heat is a separate problem handled by infrared rejection, which does vary by film type.

Wait 48 hours. The adhesive needs time to fully cure and bond to the glass. Rolling windows down too early can cause the film to shift or peel at the edges. You might notice small water bubbles during curing. They'll disappear on their own. Want to understand the film we use? Read our complete guide to ceramic window tint.

A Note from Chris

We don't use dyed film. It goes purple and starts peeling after a couple of years in the sun here, so everything we fit is ceramic, carbon, or hybrid. It costs more upfront but you won't be replacing it in two years.

The shade choice is easier than most people think. We know the legal limits, we've got samples on glass, and most customers have it sorted within a few minutes of seeing them in person.
