Front side windows

Back side windows

Back side windows must have more than 20% VLT.

Rear window

Mirror-like and/or reflective window tint film cannot be used.
Window tint that is damaged, bubbling, discoloured or in a general deteriorated state which may impact the driver’s vision is not permitted.
If side windows or a rear window is tinted, the vehicle must have dual exterior rearview mirrors.

The front windscreen can not have a film applied across the top that is more then 10% of the depth of the windscreen or below the portion swept by the wipers.
Vehicles first registered after 1st August ’94 have a 35% maximum VLT on front windows and 20% on rear windows unless darker tint had already been fitted.
There are no VLT limits for tinting behind the driver for trucks, utilities, or other similar vehicles designed to carry goods and where vehicle construction reduces the need to see through the rear window.

Back windows can be tinted darker, within New South Wales, legally on a passenger vehicle, all windows behind the front driver and passenger doors can be tinted darker to the darkest legal limit of 20% VLT. This means you aren’t required to be able to see out your car’s back window.

Servicing the Hills District

Castle Hill’s most experienced and trusted window tinter

Nick Crawley

Dave did a full ceramic paint protection on my Ranger Wildtrack and it looks amazing. It’s so easy to clean now. His work space is super slick and his knowledge and attention to detail showed with the end result.

Andre Moreitz

Firstly, they know their product inside out and offer excellent value for money. The service was personable and genuine. They were excited to tint this particular model of car and really knew their stuff.

H. Dayananda

Top quality service & products. Dave knows what he’s talking about. I was able to go through all the options for tinting my new car. Very satisfied with the ceramic film and the application was literally spotless.

Cheryl Fenton

Had our kitchen and family room done. Wish we had done this years ago, both rooms are so much more liveable by reducing glare and heat. The installers were prompt and professional, highly recommended.

Jamie Wehbeh

These guys are the best – competitive pricing, professional service and super friendly, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Keep up the great work David and team – thanks for the awesome car-tint job!!

Aman Chand

I’ve had tinting done in the past and thought I was getting a top quality tint and application, until I met Dave from EverClear. Blown away with the skill and attention to detail, not a single short cut was taken.
