Car Window Tinting in Dubai

A hot cabin after parking

Under tree shade in Al Ain, one test car's cabin reached 50 °C during a 2022 field study. We cover the side and rear windows with heat-rejecting film.

Sunlight on the arms through side windows

A 2016 study tested 29 cars, and their side windows blocked 71 per cent of UV-A on average against 96 per cent for the windscreens. The weakest side window blocked 44 per cent. We add a UV-blocking film to each side window.

Radio or tyre pressure faults

On a 2024 Polestar 2, Irish edition, Polestar warns that metallised film on the rear window can disrupt reception from the antenna inside it. Mitsubishi notes that tint affecting radio waves can stop the tyre pressure monitoring system of a 2024 Pajero Sport, Thai edition, from working correctly. We set the tyre pressures, then swap a metallised film for one with no metal layer.

Camera warnings on the dashboard

Mercedes-Benz notes that Active Steering Assist on a W213 E-Class, global edition, can be impaired when a sticker covers the windscreen near the camera. We take film or stickers off that camera area.

A police stop for dark tint

Dubai can impound a car whose tint exceeds the permissible limit, under Dubai Decree 30 of 2023. Getting the car back costs a 10,000 dirham release fee, which Dubai Police set out in July 2023. We swap the dark film for a lighter one inside the limit.

Haze in a new film

A freshly fitted film can stay hazy, with small moisture bubbles, for as long as 10 days. We lay each film wet and squeegee the solution out, so little moisture is left to dry.

A cooler cabin

Test cars from Hyundai Motor and Kia hit 48.5 °C with plain glass and 36.0 °C with their cooling film fitted. The gap was 12.5 °C.

Skin kept out of UV

One multilayer film blocks up to 99.9 per cent of ultraviolet light. Arms and faces beside the side windows get that protection on every drive.

Less heat through the glass

At wavelengths of 900 to 1,000 nm, that film turns back 97 per cent of infrared. Across the sun's infrared energy as a whole, it rejects 69 per cent.

Signals that keep working

One metal-free film does not interfere with phones, GPS or satellite radio. Its heat rejection comes from a nano multilayer build instead.

A demister and antenna left intact

On a Jaguar XK coupe, EURO edition, heating and radio elements sit on the inside of the rear screen. Jaguar has owners clean that side with nothing but a damp cloth or chamois. Our tint work leaves those elements working.

No tint fine

The Ministry of Interior fines tint beyond the permitted percentage 1,500 dirhams, under Ministerial Resolution 178 of 2017. A film inside the limit keeps the car clear of that fine.

Check the glass and its marks

We read the marks on each pane and look for factory tint. UN Regulation 43 gives safety glazing that passes below 70 per cent of light the symbol V.

Remove the old film

We loosen the old film with heat or steam, then peel it away slowly at a shallow angle. A second pass lifts the old adhesive off the glass.

Clean the glass

We clean each pane, the edges and seal lines included. On the rear screen we use soapy water and a soft cloth over the heater lines, never a blade.

Shield the electronics

Door switches, speakers and window controls get a cover before any solution is sprayed. That keeps the switches in the door dry.

Cut and fit the window film

Each film is cut to its window's shape, and we trim the edges to the glass line. A curved rear screen gets its film shaped with heat.

Inspect the film in daylight

We inspect every window in daylight for dust, creases and lifted edges, and refit any pane that shows them.

Book by phone or WhatsApp, listing the windows you want tinted.

A shade chosen for the glass

We allow for factory tint when we choose a film shade. The finished glass then stays inside the limit.

Tint rules for heavy vehicles and taxis

We do not tint heavy vehicles or vehicles on taxi plates. The amended traffic rules of July 2017 bar both from tint.

No reflective film

We fit no reflecting film.

The same film on every pane

We fit one film type and shade across the side and rear windows. The windows then match from every angle.

Old film stripped, not covered

New film goes on bare, clean glass. We never lay a new film over an old one.

One method for all makes

We apply one tint method to saloons, SUVs and coupes of each make we take, in DIP 2.
