How much cooler will my car be with V-KOOL?
Independent testing shows V-KOOL can reduce car interior surface temperatures by up to 9.6°C compared to untinted windows. This translates to noticeably cooler cabin temperature when you enter your vehicle and reduced strain on air conditioning systems, potentially improving fuel efficiency.
How long does car window tinting take?
Most installations are completed within 2-4 hours depending on your vehicle type and selected package. We recommend leaving your car with us for half a day to ensure proper curing time.
What’s the difference between the Solitaire and Signature series?
Solitaire represents our premium tier with the highest IRR performance and superior heat rejection capabilities. Signature series offers excellent protection with great value, suitable for drivers seeking reliable performance across essential metrics.
Can I tint my front windscreen and front windows?
Yes, you can, but only if the tint keeps your vehicle within the LTA’s minimum visible light transmission (VLT) requirements. The front windscreen and front windows must allow a certain percentage of light through to remain legal. We can help assess your car and install the right films to meet these legal limits while still reducing heat, glare and UV exposure.
How do I maintain tinted windows?
Wait 3-5 days after installation before cleaning to allow proper adhesion. Keep your windows rolled up during this period. When cleaning, use soft cloths and ammonia-free cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the film surface. With proper care, V-KOOL films maintain their appearance and performance for years.
Will tinting affect my car’s resale value?
Professional window tinting can help protect your car’s interior from UV damage, which may help preserve its appearance and overall value. LTA-compliant installation ensures no legal complications for future buyers.
Can I choose a different level of darkness for different windows?
Absolutely. All windows must meet LTA’s minimum VLT requirements (front windows at 70% and rear windows at 25%). This allows you to choose lighter films for the front to maintain visibility and darker films for the rear for privacy, as long as all films comply with these legal limits. We can help you select and install the right combination for your car.
Does window film protect against heat when parked?
Yes. V-KOOL’s reflective technology works whether you’re driving or parked, continuously blocking infrared heat from entering through your windows. This keeps your parked car significantly cooler, protecting dashboard materials and making re-entry more comfortable.
What happens if my tinted window gets damaged?
Minor scratches on the film surface can sometimes be buffed out, but significant damage typically requires replacement of that window’s film. Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, though physical damage from accidents or misuse isn’t included.
How soon can I roll down my windows after tinting?
Wait at least 3-5 days before rolling down newly tinted windows. This allows the adhesive to cure properly and prevents the film from peeling or shifting during the settling period.
