Are you are worried about your furnishings fading from the sun's intense UV rays, glare streaming through your windows, or your room heating up in the summer and freezing during winter?

Is your privacy being invaded by neighbours, or are you are concerned that the glass in your home is a safety hazard to children?

Is glare streaming through the windows of your office and onto computer screens, causing a lack of productivity amongst employees?

...THEN WINDOW FILM IS THE ANSWER.

Both at home and in the workplace - Tin-a-Window Manawatu will solve your problems. We are the window film specialists.
With our large range of glass films available and knowledge of which film to use, we will provide you with the right product to enhance the performance of your glass.

There are many reasons for tinting your glass.

Large expanses of glass create:

Our commercial and residential window films provide you with the following benefits:

Fade Protection

NZ has one of the highest levels of harmful UV-rays. All our solar films eliminate over 98% of the Ultra-Violet light. These UV-rays are responsible for 40% of fading occurring in homes and commercial buildings. As you see in our pie chart, light and heat are the other major factors. By reducing an amount of excess light and heat, we can reduce the fading.

Privacy

Today buildings and houses are closer together and our privacy is gone, unless we live behind closed curtains or blinds all day. With the use of an appropriate film, you can enjoy clear views outside yet achieving daytime privacy in most cases, while keeping the rooms filled with plenty of natural daylight.

Temperature control

Controlling temperatures can be a huge problem in the work place and home. Solar film keeps your building cool in summer, and can prevent heat loss in winter.
Should your home or workplace be air conditioned, window tinting will enhance the efficiency of your air conditioner and save considerably on energy costs.
New initiatives, such as the compulsory installation of Double Glazing work best in conjunction with solar film. The double layer of glass keeps the heat in, but performs badly in keeping radiated heat out in summer. Installing a good solar control film will keep your rooms cooler.

Glare Control

We all hate glare. (It is the annoying part of the light) that makes it difficult to watch TV, use the computer, enjoy our views, and generally is too bright for the eyes. The bright glare of sunlight on desks and computer screens creates an unpleasant working environment reducing the performance of your staff.

This can all be prevented with the installation of solar film. People suffering from migraines find the frequency of attacks greatly diminish after the installation of solar film. Window films are an economical solution on unusual shaped windows, where blinds or curtains can be impractical.

Safety

Large expanses of glass in the workplace and home can be a safety and security hazard to your business. At Tint-a-window we use a number of safety, security and anti graffiti films that work like an invisible shield, helping glass resist penetration and reducing the frightening effect of flying glass by holding together the glass fragments.

Security and Anti Graffiti

Anti graffiti film can be applied to the exterior of glass, metals and mirrors to protect it from graffiti. Vandals have taken to scratching glass rather than just spray painting it, so our “Cover-Up” Anti Graffiti film acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the glass or metal underneath and covering up most scratches. Your building is protected from vandalism, scratching and quick burglar entry as our films increase the puncture strength of the glass.
