NZ has some of the highest levels of harmful UV-rays. Our solar films eliminate 99% of these UV rays, which are responsible in part, for the fading occurring in our homes.
Reduction of direct heat on fabrics, leather or wood will also noticeably reduce fading. A chain of high end children's clothing stores found they were having to discard the window display items after only three weeks behind laminated glass. Since a quality film was applied, they now simply fold the items and place them back on the shelf. Tint Pro uses the highest quality ceramic films from 3M. These films offer extra fade protection, without noticeably changing the available light. These non-reflective films also offer unsurpassed optical clarity. |
Fading
With 25% of fading being caused by heat, it is important to protect your furnishings from not only UV rays but also heat damage. A good quality solar film or ceramic film can do this for you. Call us today to discuss how we can help you save money by protecting your furniture and furnishings from damage caused by excessive heat. |
Glare Control
Glare can make it difficult to watch TV or see your computer screen and is generally uncomfortable on your eyes. In some cases, people suffering from migraines find the frequency of attacks greatly diminished after the installation of solar film. Window films are also an economical solution for unusual shaped windows where blinds or curtains may not be an option. |
Privacy
In today's living conditions, neighbouring buildings are closer and homes tend to have more glass than ever, reducing the amount of privacy we have. With the use of semi-reflective films, you can enjoy clear views outside. Daytime privacy can be achieved in most cases, whilst keeping the rooms filled with plenty of natural light. Ceramic films are superb, where a totally non-reflective finish is required. Read this article in Trends magazine In bathrooms, utility rooms or front entrance ways, the use of opaque films provides excellent privacy, day and night. This is known as the sand blasted glass finish. See some examples here |
Armorcoat Safety Film
We are able to provide you with a safety film to bring your older thin glass up to NZ Safety Standards. For further privacy, we can also tint with our quality cast vinyl frosted film if you wish - we prefer Arlon Etch for a more sophisticated finish. |
Safety and Security
Our range of safety films is designed to transform any ordinary glass into safety glass. This invisible film has averted many a tragedy. All of the safety films conform to the AS/NZS2208 safety standards. Recently, all NZ schools had safety films fitted in areas of danger from glass breaking. This is cheaper than replacing ordinary glass with safety glass. |
Heat/Temperature Control
Solar control film keeps your home cool in summer, without losing the heat in winter. Should your home be air conditioned, you will find the units cope a lot better with considerable saving of energy costs. New initiatives, such as the compulsory installation of double glazing will work best in conjunction with Solar Control Film. The double layer of glass keeps the heat in, but does not perform well at keeping heat out in summer. Contrary to some recent claims, window film is not designed to prevent or dramatically reduce condensation on your windows. In fact, window film can be damaged by excessive condensation. There is no substitute for a quality ventilation system or double glazing in the prevention of condensation and retention of internal heat. While we can help you to reduce heat loss through your window panes, we do not promote window film as an alternative to double glazing. Installing a good solar control film will keep your rooms cooler. Right house, Green Building Council and Future Proof Building all recognise that window glass can be a major source of heat loss. In the United States, some window films qualify for rebates. We carry these films here, however, no rebates are available to date. |
