FAQs

Window tints are applied to the interior side of the glass. This placement ensures the film remains protected and provides a smooth, professional finish.

You might notice installers working on the exterior of the glass, but this is just part of the preparation process before the film is applied to the inside.

At Tint Tech Nottingham, we provide a Lifetime Warranty to ensure your peace of mind. This warranty covers any problems like bubbles, peeling, fading, or color changes in the tint. We prioritize your satisfaction and are committed to ensuring your window tint remains flawless for as long as you own your vehicle.

We offer a variety of tint shades to suit different preferences and needs. Here are some of the most popular options among our customers:

• 5% (Limo Tint): This is the darkest legal tint, ideal for those seeking maximum privacy and UV protection.

• 20% (Factory Tint): A common choice for those wanting a factory-like appearance with good UV protection.

• 30% (Medium Tint): Perfect for those looking for a balance of privacy and UV protection while still allowing a fair amount of light into the vehicle.

• 50% (Light Tint): This option is popular for reducing heat and glare without significantly darkening the windows, allowing for clear visibility.

Ultimately, the best tint shade depends on your personal preference and specific requirements. Our team is available to assist you in choosing the right shade, and we have a display piece of glass in our office showcasing the different options. You can make your selection on the day of your appointment.

We advise waiting at least 5 days before rolling your windows down after tinting. In case of emergencies, your windows will still function normally. However, lowering them too soon could cause the tint to peel, as it needs time to fully dry and adhere properly to the glass.

You won’t be stopped by the police for having window tints as long as they are within legal limits. The only situation where you might be pulled over is if your front windows are tinted beyond the legal limit of 75% light transmission. Most cars already have front windows that meet this requirement, so adding any tint to them would make them non-compliant with UK road laws.

Yes, window tint can be easily removed or reversed. It’s fully reversible without any issues.

If you'd like to remove your tint, we offer a removal service—just give us a call for a quote. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can simply peel off the tint and use a glue remover to clean off any adhesive residue.

Yes, your vehicle will pass an MOT with tinted rear windows, as it’s not illegal to tint them in any shade you prefer. If you encounter any issues with your MOT related to window tints, feel free to contact us, and we’ll help resolve any concerns.

After having your windows tinted, we recommend waiting at least 5 days before cleaning them. We will carefully clean the windows after applying the film, ensuring they're spotless when you leave. Waiting gives the tint time to properly bond with the glass.

No, window tinting film is applied directly over your defroster lines without causing any damage. The defroster will continue to work normally since the film is thin enough not to interfere.

While it's not essential, bringing a clean car can be helpful.

Exterior:
Please make sure the exterior is relatively clean. It doesn’t need to be spotless, but if there’s excessive dirt or mud, especially from off-roading, it could interfere with the tinting process.

Interior:
The cleaner, the better, but it’s not a requirement. We’ll thoroughly clean your windows before applying the tint to ensure a flawless finish.
