Shaded Tint

Benefits: Shaded tint is a clean and balanced option for reducing glare, improving daytime privacy and creating a darker, more polished window appearance.

Costs: Shaded tint provides privacy during the day, but privacy may reduce at night when lights are on inside.

Best For: Homes, bedrooms, living rooms, offices and street-facing windows.

Reflective Tint

Reflective Tint

Benefits: Reflective tint is ideal for strong heat reduction, glare control and daytime privacy, especially for windows exposed to harsh sunlight.

Costs: Reflective tint works best for privacy during the day. At night, privacy can reduce when the inside of the property is brighter than outside.

Best for: West-facing windows, shopfronts, offices, exposed glass and street-facing properties.

Frost Tint

Frost Tint

Benefits: Frost film provides privacy while still allowing natural light through, making it a great option for areas where visibility needs to be blocked.

Costs: Frost film is mainly designed for privacy and appearance, not maximum heat reduction.

Best for: Bathrooms, front doors, side windows, office partitions and meeting rooms.

Security Tint

Security Tint

Benefits: Safety and security film helps hold glass together if it breaks, adding an extra layer of protection for homes and businesses.

Costs: Security film improves glass protection, but it does not make glass unbreakable.

Best for: Shopfronts, entry doors, large glass panels, schools, offices and security-conscious properties.

Decorative Tint

Decorative Tint

Benefits: Decorative film adds style, privacy or branding to glass while keeping the space bright and professional.

Costs: Decorative film is usually chosen for appearance and privacy rather than strong heat reduction.

Best for: Office glass, shopfronts, meeting rooms, reception areas and feature glass.
