Another success story with Huper Optik

Nano-Ceramic Window Film from Huper Optik is traditionally non-reflective and therefore not very good for giving privacy.

The crisp view from inside!

    
Lots of light entering from the side & back. Film is Johnson Window Film's SV30 here.
The PR range however is a single-layered ceramic film with more reflection. Here is an example of an installation done in Auckland recently. This room has windows on 3 sides, which makes it hard to achieve good privacy.








This home owner did not want to lose the views and didn't like the reflection caused by traditional window films.

Huper Optik nono-ceramic window film - What is it?

I read blogs and forums about window tinting. In many of the forums for car clubs, the questions about Huper Optik are raised. People want to know why Huper Optik is more costly than other tints.
If you buy on price, you will not get Huper Optik ceramic film, but a dyed or if you're lucky, a metalized film.

Multi-layer, dyed film vs Huper Optik
The cost of buying ceramic film is at least 2 times that of standard window film for the dealer. If you use the dyed films offered on the internet, that difference can be as high as 10 times the cost in material.
You can compare it to buying gold jewellery. The cheap film are like gold plated jewellery, looking good for a while, but soon the coating scratches and you develop skin rashes. Then you have the 9carat gold, the film equivalent would be metalized window film. It looks good, will last the distance and has value. Nano-ceramic window film would be the equivalent to 18carat gold. More value, a deeper colour, hard wearing and a status symbol.

Now you can't expect to get 18carat gold for the price of costume jewellery.

Another beautiful winter's day to tint windows... why?

Do you work in an office or live at home and notice the sun coming in at different angles? Annoying, right?

Well, it's actually not just annoying, but also causes damage to your furniture, furnishings and art work. Most of the year, those expensive paintings hanging on the wall are in the shade, but now they get direct sun. Feel how warm the darker colours are?
The best way of protecting all those things is by having your glass tinted with a discrete film, blocking UV and reducing the heat reaching delicate fabrics, wood, leather or paintings and prints.
It will not cost the earth and many of our window films are almost invisible. With Huper Optik nano-ceramic window film you get the best protection, without reflection or excess colour added to your place.

Huper Optik, the ideal high performance film

Huper Optik, the ideal high performance film.

In today's abundance of marketing, how can one tell what's good and what's not?
As window tinting is a specialist trade, the average person would not know the difference. So they go by brand recognition. Great, everybody knows of 3M.

Interestingly enough, very few people in the window tinting trade actually use 3M. We have a case here in New Zealand, where a company promotes itself as "accredited 3M installer". Guess what, so are we, but we don't promote the fact. These people now offer cheap on-line deals and their customers think they will get a 3M film. Far from it...SK Networks????? Who are they?

We know most of the film types from the good manufacturers, and we chose to use Johnson Window Films for the conventional range. For the top of the line, you can't beat Huper Optik in looks, clarity and performance. We have even been known to use 3M, when specified by the client, or to match existing window tint.

Window tinting vs tinted glass

Some people have tinted glass installed, thinking that it will give them the same protection as glass with window film. To some degree, they are right. Tinted glass can give them privacy and cut down on glare. It has less UV transmission than clear glass, but on average still lets in 20%. Bearing in mind that UV is a big issue here in NZ, any UV transmission is bad.

Tinted glass tends to heat up considerably, making it uncomfortable for people nearby. Most of the heat is absorbed into the glass and only convection from the outside takes it away to some degree.

When we apply window film to clear glass, we minimise the heat absorption and reflect more of it, thus making it more effective.We also block 99% or more of the UV. Window film helps to keep glass in place, in the event of an accident, but is not strong enough to comply with human impact standards, unless designed to do so.

With car tinting, we have this strange problem of restricted tinting, in most cases to 35%, and yet tinted glass can be really dark and still comply..... go figure!
