Benefits Of Window Film

WindowUp to 99% Ultraviolet (UV) light reduction resulting in:

  • Fade protection for furniture, carpet, draperies, wood, etc.
  • Reduced fabric/textile deterioration.
  • Reduced exposure to UV radiation, which has been linked to certain cancers.

Increased shatter resistance resulting in:

  • Increased peace of mind.
  • Increased safety for family & friends.

Safety and security films offer significant benefits from:

  • Natural disasters such as violent storms, earthquake, high winds, etc.
  • Vandalism, terrorist bombings, smash & grab, etc.

Scratch resistant hard coating protects against:

  • Accidental abrasion and product deterioration from normal cleaning.
  • Hazy appearance typical with plastic type materials.

Significantly reduced solar heat gain resulting in:

  • Increased comfort.
  • Reduced air conditioning costs.
  • Reduced HVAC equipment wear and tear/maintenance.
  • Increased fade resistance.
  • Glare reduction.
  • Daytime privacy.
  • Attractive accent to home and business windows.

Lower energy demands from utilities resulting in:

  • Lower overall energy costs.
  • Decreased demand for new power generating facilities.
  • Decreased environmental emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Tinting Products

Q: What is the law regarding tinting of motor vehicles in Malaysia?
A: According to JPJ, the regulations require at least 70% of Visible Light Transmission (VLT) for the front windscreen and a minimum of 50% for the sides and rear windscreen.

Q: What is VLT?
A: VLT is Visible Light Transmission. VLT is the amount of visible light that passes directly through filmed glass. The darker the tint, the lower the visible light transmitted.

Q: What is Ultraviolet Rejection?
A: Ultraviolet Rejection is the percentage of ultraviolet energy deflected away from the window film. Ultraviolet rays can cause upholstery and furnishings to fade. It can also cause skin damage and skin cancer.

Q: What is TSER?
A: Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is the percentage of the total solar energy that is rejected. TSER includes visible light, infrared radiation and ultraviolet energy. The higher the percentage, the higher the percentage of solar energy deflected. Most tinting shops use Infra Red Rejection (IRR) as a guide to the level of heat rejection. However, IRR only covers a fraction of TSER. Internationally, TSER is used as a guide as it is a more accurate way of measuring heat rejection.

Q: Security / Safety Films – Basics
A: The performance of Security / Safety films rely solely on the thickness of the film. Thicker films will endure a higher break point, absorbing higher LB / inch2 (pound per inch2), thus the harder to penetrate the window. Thickness of Security/Safety films are measured in terms of Mil. which converts to Microns – 1M = 25 Micron. LLumar leads the market in this segment, providing Security / Safety flim thicknesses ranging from the lower end of 4Mil to the highest of 15Mil.

Q: Why should I choose LLumar?
A: LLumar has a history of over 50 years of R&D and technology. When you choose LLumar, you’re not just choosing a window film. You’re choosing a premium product with superior performance plus the service provided and the factory backed warranty, which lasts for 5-7 years.

Q: Do LLumar films comply with JPJ regulations?
A: In short, yes. All LLumar Automotive films are carefully selected to comply with current JPJ regulations. (50% sides and rear, 70% for front windscreen).

Q: Is there anything I have to look out for after installation?
A: After installation, it is advisable to keep your windows closed for a minimum of 48 hours. There might be watermarks present, which will disappear in a couple of days. If you should decide to remove the tint, there will be no permanent stains on the glass. Any left over adhesive can be easily removed with cleaning agents.

Q: What does the warranty cover?
A: Depending on the tint, the warranty period can range from 5-7 years. Warranty for all tints covers bubbles, peeling, oxidising, discolorization and cracking.
