Protection from the unexpected 

​

In South Africa, ‘Smash and Grab attacks’ are frequent. We often hesitate to stop at a traffic light in a dangerous area and we ensure that our valuables are not in sight to prevent Smash and Grab attacks. These incidents happen when you are driving but also when your car is parked. 

Safeguarding your vehicle and loved ones is a priority and that is where Smash and Grab tinting is crucial.

How Smash & Grab Tint Protects your Vehicle

Smash and Grab is a type of Window Film that is applied to glass to reinforce it. It is designed to keep the window intact in the event of a smash & grab incident or when force is applied to the glass.

When struck with force, ordinary car glass will shatter send dangerous shards of glass flying. Ordinary glass shatters immediately which means the attacker can quickly reach into your car to grab a valuable or to hijack your vehicle.

Smash and Grab Tint buys you time! By strengthening your automotive glass, you are also prolonging forced entry time.

Benefits of Smash & Grab Film

Despite reinforcing glass and protecting you from smash & grab incidents, our films have several other benefits. Our films:

• Block 99% of harmful UV rays that damage skin and eyes
• Provide car interior protection, the UV inhibitors in the film block the UV rays that cause the interior of your car to fade and crack.
• Reduce glare which negatively affects your vision while driving 
• Increase privacy making it harder to see into your vehicle 
• Keep glass intact in the event of an accident and prevent flying shards

Legal tinting shades

Smash and Grab tint comes in different shades, however, in South Africa there is a legal limit. The legal limit is 35%. This means the film must allow 35% of visible light through the window. A 35% film still offers excellent privacy against people looking into your windows.

Any darker than 35% is illegal and can result in a heavy fine by traffic law enforcement.
