Window Tinting
Our Pentagon-standard window tints use precision-cut films that reject 99% of UV rays while maintaining optical clarity. The proprietary installation method ensures seamless integration with vehicle glass, offering heat reduction, glare control, and enhanced privacy. Each application comes with a lifetime guarantee against peeling or discolouration.
Paint Protection Film
Computer-cut paint protection films shield vehicles from stone chips and road debris using self-healing topcoats that repair minor scratches. Available in partial or full coverage configurations with warranties up to 12 years, these transparent films preserve paintwork integrity and resale value.
Security Film
300-micron security films reinforce vehicle windows against smash-and-grab attacks while maintaining optical clarity. This Thatcham Q-listed solution holds shattered glass in place during impacts, providing occupant protection and anti-theft security without compromising visibility.
Ceramic Coating
Sonax ceramic coatings create hydrophobic surfaces that repel water and contaminants while resisting UV damage. The chemical bond formed during application protects paintwork for 2-4 years, maintaining gloss and simplifying maintenance through reduced cleaning frequency.

Questions
What factors determine window tinting prices?
Costs depend on vehicle complexity, film type selection, and whether security film integration is required. Simple three-door cars start at £95 + VAT while complex installations reach £1,250 + VAT.
How long does paint protection film last?
Premium films carry 10-12 year warranties with proper maintenance. The self-healing topcoat maintains optical clarity for up to 8 years under normal driving conditions when regularly maintained with pH-neutral products.
Can security film be applied to all windows?
Supaglass security film works on side windows but rear screen compatibility depends on curvature. Flat rear screens like those on some SUV models can accept security film after technical assessment during booking.
What post-application care is required?
Avoid window operation for 36 hours after installation. Full curing takes 30 days for standard films and 3 months for security films. Use microfiber cloths and pH-neutral cleaners for ongoing maintenance.
Do you offer warranties on installations?
All Pentagon applications include lifetime guarantees against peeling, discolouration, or adhesive failure. Paint protection films carry manufacturer warranties up to 12 years when maintained using approved care products.
