Benefits of Window Tinting on the Sunshine Coast
Home Tinting on the Sunshine Coast is a great way of creating an energy efficient home. We have hot humid summers with mild winters and the glass is the weak point for heat entering your home. The easiest and most cost effective way of keeping heat out in summer is with window tinting.
Studies have shown that applying a quality window film to an existing house is more cost effective than other energy saving measures (like installing ceiling insulation) by as much as 400%.
Reduce your energy consumption, save on power bills and reduce your carbon footprint plus so much more.

Causes of Fading
How to Ensure a Quality Glass Window Film
1. Manufacturer – Without doubt the best films are from the American manufacturers – unfortunately there are no window films made here in Australia.
2. Warranty –
- Ensure that the warranty is in writing from the MANUFACTURER that way if the installer sells or goes out of business you still have a warranty.
- Check that the warranty is honoured in Australia.
- It should cover the following: cracking, crazing, peeling, bubbling, delamination, demetallising, adhesive failure, film fade, colour change and loss of performance in any measurable way.
3. Adhesive – Always ask and make sure that the adhesive is “Dry Water-Activated Adhesive” for the flat glass on your home. NOT “Pressure Sensitive Adhesive” which should only be used on cars (curved glass). “Dry Adhesive” films will last longer, won’t bubble and the adhesive won’t distort like “Pressure Sentitive Adhesive” will.
4. UV Filters – Always ask and make sure that the UV filters are in both the adhesive and the first layer of film. UV filters in the film itself last much longer to ensure your family and furnishings are always protected.
5. No Dye – The colour of the film should be from the metal or ceramic layers in the film. NOT DYE. No Dye = No Fading.
