Canterbury Window Tinting, Christchurch • Jun 09, 2022

A tinted window can improve comfort, look and the safety of your car

Over the years we have developed safer, faster, more reliable and energy efficient cars. No doubt that new model cars look the part. Once you have driven one you will never look back. The bottom line is the price ticket. Depreciation on some models can hit as soon as you drive it out of the yard. 

This said you do have an alternative. Window tinting on non-tinted windows on your car or work vehicle can be done easily and at a very affordable price. (read one of our other articles on NZ Transport Agency standards on allowed window tinting)

A full window tint on a passenger car, like a sedan should not cost more than $300 to $400, depending on the film you choose, 3M or ceramic tint films are available. You should let a professional do the job. They will make sure that any film is applied to NZ standards and can also guarantee the work. Your new window tint has to pass a WOF. VLT ratios will be tested and approved by your testing station or mechanic. 


Window tinting is legal in New Zealand up to a certain darkness for cars and vehicles. Visibility is important. The overall visible light transmitted through the front windshield cannot be compromised. Our window tinting experts apply the films to NZ standards and will provide guarantee on their workmanship. We can apply the following window tints:


·   Wind shield: Anti-glare strip

·   Front side, back side and rear windows for passenger vehicles have an allowance of 35% VLT

·   Any other darkness level restrictions apply to other vehicles, non-passenger vehicles such as work vans and utes, for rear windows


Your car may be your pride and joy and your work vehicle part of your daily life. Perhaps you spend more time driving than you do at home. It is important that you enjoy it and make it as comfortable as possible.


Improving your safety;

The safety of your family or employees should be in the forefront of your mind. Road accidents are the number one killer on our roads.

 

Tinted windows improve the safety of your car. They shatter not as easy and flying glass particles are less likely.

A lot of non-fatal injuries that occur are caused by shattered glass. It is of extreme importance that you make sure that your vehicle's windows are properly tinted. Window tinting can be a lifesaver when it comes to shatter proofing your car windows. Should the window be impacted, it may break, but will more likely stay together. It offers extra protection for passengers and the driver.


Tinted windows also allow protection from the sun's harsh sun rays, which can be a hazard whilst driving. The tint works in protecting you from these harsh rays and in turn you will have better visibility of the road, other vehicles and road signs. You will need your aircon less and achieve lower energy consumption, which converts into a lower running cost of your car or work vehicle.
