Window Tinting and Anti-Smash-and-Grab Protection Film – All in One

Forget for a moment the notions you have about window tinting and the stereotypical images you see in your mind – perhaps of rebellious youths playing their music loudly in the streets and their cars’ glasshouse covered in mirror-like window tinting. And keep in mind that such a tint is most likely illegal and serves absolutely no purpose other than to look “cool”. It would be illegal because, according to South African law, side glass has to let through at least 35% light and windscreens at least 70%*.

No film applied to a vehicle’s glass panes may be darker than these regulations allow, else it could make for a dangerous situation in which a driver cannot see out of their car clearly, especially at night. About that mirrored film not serving any practical purpose, keep in mind that this type of window tinting is usually purely cosmetic and would therefore not serve a practical purpose and would not, for instance, necessarily offer you any protection against UV rays or impacts.

The SunTek Difference

That is why we only apply SunTek protection at Electronic Fitment Centre. SunTek is, first and foremost, about the protection it affords and looks are secondary. So, if you would like to have window tinting, you can, because SunTek film is offered in a 35% and 50% tint, so you can choose your level of tinting. However, if your car’s glass is already tinted sufficiently for your taste, you can simply have the completely clear version applied to your car’s glass. Because you see, you get various advantages from it, even if you cannot see it at all. The SunTek product filters out 99% of UV rays and reduces solar energy by up to 43%, depending on the one you choose.

However, most important is that SunTek is more than just window tinting. It is also a barrier against nefarious evildoers that try to smash the glass at red traffic lights to steal things out of your car or, worse, hijack you. Like a laminated windscreen, the film holds the pane together and in one piece, to it takes considerably more effort and repeated attempts to fully break through and gain access to the car. This gives you time to drive off and leave the scene as quickly as possible.
