Window Tinting
The Autowerks only use Llumar window film, manufactured by CPFilms, the world’s largest window film manufacturer. Llumar films can only be fitted by authorized dealers who have been trained by CPFilms to provide the highest quality of installation and service levels.
Whatever the reason you are thinking about having your car windows tinted, whether it be to enhance the look of your vehicle or increase privacy, we can install the film to suit your needs.
LLumar security films are available clear or tinted.
Both film types:
- Deter Smash and Grab Attacks
- Minimize Flying Glass in Accidents
- Protect Your Skin and Upholstery from Harmful Ultraviolet Rays
- Reduce Solar Heat and Glare
- Improve Air Conditioning Efficiency
THE LAW
Light transmission
Visual light transmission is the amount of light that passes through the film and glass. Applying window film to vehicle glass will reduce the amount of visible light transmission.
Back windows
While the back window can be tinted using any of our films, it is important to note that installing film which has a light transmission of 5% could cause problems when reversing in areas of poor lighting.
Back side windows
In areas of poor lighting, installing very dark film to back side windows can also impair vision and also reduce the view of the back seat passengers.
Front side windows
The front side windows are very important to the driver’s vision, and it is vital that under no circumstances should dark films be installed to front side windows as this will pose a serious risk to the driver and other road users. With this in mind, police authorities may fine offenders or issue endorsements.
Most vehicles have windows that have been slightly tinted during the manufacturing process. The level of tint is usually in the 25% region, which is as much as the law allows.
Whilst we cannot install a tinted film to the front door windows we are able to fit a clear UV blocking film that will prevent damage to leather upholstery and keep the inside of the vehicle cooler during the summer months.
Maximum level of tint permissable:
Back Window: N/A
Back Side Window: N/A
Front Side Windows: 30%
Front Windscreen: 25%
