Why Tint Your Truck Windows

Heat control

Modern films reduce solar heat, keeping cabins cool even in summer.

UV protection

Block up to 99% of UV light to protect your skin and stop the car’s interior furnishings from fading or cracking.

Glare reduction

Cut glare from sunlight, headlights, and reflective roads, improving visibility and reducing fatigue.

Privacy & security

Darker window tints make it harder to see inside, protecting gear and valuables.

Increased safety

Window films help hold glass together if damaged, reducing risks from full shattering, or debris.

Longer life

Tinting helps preserve your truck's interior materials, extending the life of dashboards, trims, and upholstery.

Want a safer, more comfortable drive? Our professional vehicle tinting service makes a noticeable difference every trip.

Is Truck Window Tinting Legal in NZ?

Truck window tinting is allowed in New Zealand, but it must comply with local tinting laws for visible light transmittance (VLT):

  • Front windscreen – Tinting can only be applied to the upper visor strip. The driver’s main vision area must remain clear.
  • Front side windows – Must let in enough visible light for safety.
  • Rear windows – Can often be tinted darker, depending on the vehicle type and classification.
  • Reflective tints – Solid reflective films or shiny silver tints are not legal.

Our team ensures your truck window tints are designed for compliance, so you stay safe and avoid fines or defects.

The Right Film for New Zealand Fleets

We install premium LLumar window films, trusted for over 40 years for high-quality protection. Built for New Zealand’s varied conditions, from alpine cold to coastal glare, these films cut heat, reduce glare, and block UV while strengthening glass to help keep drivers and gear safer on every run.

Because trucks must meet New Zealand VLT rules, we’ll recommend the compliant option for your cab and route type, then install it for lasting performance.

Truck Tint Laws Made Simple

Tint rules can vary depending on where your truck is registered. Our team explains what’s allowed in New Zealand, including:

  • Maximum darkness film levels
  • VLT limits for front windows and rear windows
  • When factory-tinted glass counts towards compliance
  • Why reflective films are not permitted

We ensure every installation complies with NZ transport laws, giving you peace of mind and protecting your vehicle from being flagged as unroadworthy.

Our 4-Step Tinting Process

The process begins with a thorough inspection of your truck’s windows.

We assess the glass type, whether clear, laminated, or factory-tinted, and check for any chips, cracks, or imperfections that could affect tint adhesion.

We also review compliance requirements to ensure your new tint meets all road safety and visibility regulations before installation begins.

After the inspection, we provide tailored film recommendations based on your driving conditions and preferences.

Whether your priority is reducing heat and glare, protecting against harmful UV rays, enhancing cabin privacy, or ensuring compliance for commercial use, we’ll match the best film to your needs and budget.

Our goal is to improve driver comfort, safety, and the professional look of your vehicle.

Our technicians complete every installation with precision and care, using advanced tools and clean-fit methods that minimise downtime.

Each window is thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure a flawless, bubble-free finish.

We work efficiently to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, with a tint that performs well and looks great.

Once installation is complete, we conduct a final check-over to ensure your tint meets our quality standards.

You’ll receive detailed care instructions, information on film curing times, and your warranty documentation.

With our expert installation and durable products, you can drive away the same day with confidence, knowing your truck is protected, compliant, and looking its best.

Truck Tint Care & Maintenance Tips

Once your truck tinting is complete, we provide personalised aftercare guidance to help you preserve that fresh, polished look and lasting protection.

To keep your tint in top condition for years to come, here are some essential care tips to follow:

  • Keep windows closed for a few days after installation.
  • Use ammonia-free cleaner and soft cloths to avoid scratches.
  • Avoid abrasive pads to protect film and enhance durability.
