Car Window Tinting in Ottawa

"If you think good design is expensive, you should see the cost of bad design" -Dr. Ralf Speth

​

Two main things things separate us from others, our film quality and our install quality. Cheap film and poor installs can lead to costly tint removal or chasing questionable warranty claims. We exclusively tint with reliable XPEL window films and our install quality standards are exceptional and provide peace of mind. Are all tint installs similar? Definitely not. Here's why:

​

1. Window Film Quality

​

Think of window film like a big sticker for the interior side of your automotive glass. The sun is powerful, the film installed on your vehicle must serve long-term as a lasting layer of protection while maintaining it's appearance.

​

Cheap window film

- fades to blue or entirely clear

- loses clarity and becomes cloudy or wavy

- has adhesive failure leading to blistering / bubbles

- delaminates and flakes off or peels

- has unreliable specifications for UV rejection and infrared heat rejection

- looks great on delivery but reveals problems later, sometimes within months

​

Our XPEL window film

- blocks 99% of harmful UV rays

- offers noticeably better heat rejection with ceramic film

- looks great and stays looking great

- is backed by a manufacturer warranty that, "for the lifetime of the vehicle covers discolouration, fading, bubbling, cracking, and delamination." see https://www.xpel.com/warranty-information for more details

2. Install Quality

​

Installing window film is a skill (and an art) that takes many years to master. At FullMoon Autoworks window tinting is not just another service on our list, it is what we specialize in. During our installations, we are not shy to replace film as we work if debris or dirt is present. To us, achieving a clean install outweighs the additional film cost. It's why our customers choose us. What does a good vs. bad tint install look like and what can go wrong?

​

Poor quality installs have

- light gaps where the film does not reach correctly

- poorly cut film pieces; choppy or square corners and wavy door top edge lines

- excessive debris/dust/trash present causing specs and bubbles

- lint or hair from improper cleaning/prep

- pinch marks or crease marks from mishandling

- adhesive present from previous tint removal

- stickers left unremoved and tinted over

- scratches from tools used during installation

​

Our installs have

- no light gaps, the film reaches all edges

- proper cuts, using consistent and accurate XPEL computer software and plotter technology

- thorough cleaning procedures to prevent debris, hair, contamination and adhesives trapped under the film

- quality control, repeat double-checking of each window to prevent oversight

- a wide variety of specialized tools to prevent damage to the film

Below is a slideshow of some bad tint examples. Some of these tint jobs may have looked fine shortly after purchase but later revealed poor film quality. Sometimes a bargain tint job isn't always as good as it appears. Our mission is to offer a high quality install using quality products you can count on time and time again, saving our customers time and money in the long term. We offer real value.
