CAR TINTING LEGAL REGULATIONS QLD

In Queensland, the legal requirements for car tinting are:

Windshield: Tinting on the windshield is not permitted, except for a visor strip across the top of the windshield that is no more than 10% tinted.

Front Side Windows: The front side windows (driver and passenger windows) must have a minimum of 35% visible light transmission (VLT), which means that at least 35% of external light must pass through the window.

Rear Side Windows: The rear side windows behind the driver may have a level of tinting no darker than 20%.

Rear Window: The rear window may also have a level of tinting no darker than 20%.

It is important to note that the above requirements apply to all vehicles registered in Queensland, including cars, trucks, and buses.

Failure to comply with these requirements can result in fines and potentially lead to the vehicle being defected.

Reduced Heat: Window tinting can significantly reduce the amount of heat that enters your car. This makes your car more comfortable to drive in, especially during the hot summer months.

Protection from UV Rays: Window tinting can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which can cause skin damage, premature aging, and even skin cancer. It also helps protect your car’s interior from fading and cracking.

Enhanced Privacy: Tinted windows provide privacy for you and your passengers. It makes it difficult for outsiders to see inside the car, giving you more privacy and reducing the risk of theft.

Reduced Glare: Glare from the sun or headlights of other cars can be hazardous, especially while driving. Window tinting reduces glare, making it easier to see while driving.

Improved Energy Efficiency: Tinted windows can help improve your car’s energy efficiency by reducing the need for air conditioning to cool down the car’s interior.

Improved Safety: In the event of an accident, tinted windows can help prevent the glass from shattering, reducing the risk of injury from flying glass shards.

Overall, car window tinting offers several benefits that can make driving more comfortable, safe, and convenient. However, it’s important to check local laws and regulations regarding the percentage of tint allowed in your area before getting your car windows tinted.

VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE
Is a measure of the amount of light that passes through a substrate. Glass in todays vehicles typically will measure between 70% to 75% VLT untinted. Legalities in Qld are 35% two front windows and 20% in the rear of the vehicle.

TOTAL SOLAR ENERGY REJECTION
This equals solar heat reflectance plus the amount of solar heat absorbed that is then re-radiated outwards and is rejected from passing through glass.

PRIVACY GLASS
Privacy Glass is made by using a dye during the manufacturing process usually on the rear of the vehicle. Privacy glass does not offer the same UV protection or heat reduction that a quality window film offers.

CERAMIC INFRARED REJECTION
Infrared rejection measures a window tint’s ability to block infrared rays. It is a vital aspect of TSER because it directly affects the tint’s ability to keep your space cool and comfortable. The higher the IR rejection percentage, the more heat the tint will keep out.

The Nano Ceramic spectrally selective options are almost invisible yet block infra-red heat while letting in visible light. Limited Lifetime Warranty, see warranty for details.
