Services
Vehicle Tinting
Our vehicle tinting service enhances privacy and reduces glare using SunTek carbon window films. These high-quality tints block harmful UV rays while maintaining visibility, with durability that resists peeling or fading. Each installation takes 1-2 hours in our dust-free workshop, including a complimentary two-week quality check to ensure perfect adhesion and finish.
Vinyl Wrapping
We offer full or partial vinyl wrapping in gloss, matte, chrome, and specialty finishes like carbon fibre. The process takes 3-5 days in our controlled environment, transforming vehicles with precision-cut wraps that protect original paintwork. Clients can choose from extensive colour and texture options to achieve bespoke styling or corporate branding.
Paint Protection Film
Our self-healing paint protection film shields vehicles from stone chips and scratches using advanced urethane material. Applied by hand in our Harlow workshop, it offers full or partial coverage with invisible integration. The film resists yellowing and repairs minor marks through heat exposure, maintaining vehicle appearance for years without altering the original finish.
Commercial Tinting
We provide architectural window tinting for offices and homes using solar control films that reduce heat and glare. This energy-efficient solution blocks UV radiation while maintaining natural light, with options including mirrored or frosted finishes for privacy. The installation preserves glass integrity while improving thermal comfort in commercial and residential spaces.
Headlight Tinting
Our headlight tinting service applies protective film to reduce glare and enhance aesthetics. The durable film shields against road debris while modifying light output for a distinctive appearance. This quick service maintains visibility standards while giving vehicles a customised look that complies with UK lighting regulations.
