Tint is film applied to the inside of a window. Done well, it is invisible as a film: no bubbles, no peeling edges, no purple haze after a couple of summers. Done badly, it is all of those things. The difference is in the preparation and the fitting.
How a tint job is done
The glass is cleaned inside and out until there is nothing on it, because anything left behind ends up as a bubble under the film. The film is cut to the window, either from a computer-cut pattern for the vehicle or by hand on the glass, then shrunk with heat to match the curve of the window. It is applied wet, squeegeed out from the centre so every trace of water and air comes out to the edge, and left to cure. Curing takes a few days, during which the film may look slightly hazy and the windows should stay up.
Windows
Tint cuts glare and heat, keeps the interior cooler, protects upholstery from fading and gives passengers privacy. Ontario regulates how dark the front side windows and windshield can be, and we will tell you what is permitted before you choose a shade.
Headlights and emblems
Headlight and taillight film comes in clear protective and in smoked finishes. Emblem tint is a smoked or blacked-out film applied over badges. Both are the same process as window tint at a smaller scale: clean, fit, heat, cure.
Getting a price
Tint pricing depends on the vehicle, how many windows, and the film chosen. Send a quote request with your vehicle and what you want tinted, and we will come back with options and a price. Customers have described the finished result as looking like it came from the factory; you can read that review in their own words on the reviews page.
