Unlike any other window film on the market, MoonRaker has been tried and tested to perform under a vast number of extreme conditions.  From their unique vantage point in Canada, MoonRaker Professional Window Films have all passed real-life performance tests from the most extreme cold to severe heat and sunlight.

Each MoonRaker professional Film has been developed to provide a greater amount of slip.  Heavier amounts of adhesive, up to 10 times more than popular brands, increase bonding and help to reduce fine scratches in glass.  Excess amounts of UV Stabilizers and Blockers directly increase the life of the film and maintain the colour.  The stay flat production process virtually eliminates curl and directly improves the installation process.

• The Window Film Industry
• What is Advanced DAT?

 

The Advanced Dyed Adhesive Technology (Advanced DAT) that makes MoonRaker superior also improves installation and customer satisfaction.  The process behind Advanced DAT is so far ahead of the competition that it has virtually eclipsed dyed polyester technology.  The finer colour, clarity and consistency of each roll of film in harmony with a more aggressive amount of adhesive and UV inhibitors produce a truly state-of-the-art product.  You will immediately notice that corners have not been cut.  The crystal clear polyester base and easy release liner make professional installation effortless.  The slip and virtual curl free manufacture helps keep it up against the window better without sacrificing bond.  More importantly the fact that MoonRaker professional window film shrinks easily to speed up installation time.

Advanced DAT is transforming the market and is part of every roll of MoonRaker Professional Window Film.

Window Film Features and Benefits           

• Passenger Protection - Filters UVs. The need for protection against the potentially harmful effects of Ultra Violet rays from the sun has never been greater, especially when driving for long distances in bright conditions.
• Cooler Interior - Moonraker films help to reduce overall interior temperature by reflecting heat away from the inside and thereby increasing comfort and driving safely during bright and warm weather.
• Protects Children - Children are safest when seated in at the back of a vehicle and now you can keep them cooler and better protected from UV rays whilst in the rear passengers area.
• Greater Privacy - Reduces the ability for outsiders to peer into the car at occupants, increasing privacy and sense of security.       
• Anti Bandit - The film substantially reduces the risk of serious injury from flying glass fragments in the event of glass shattering during a side impact accident.
• Anti Car-Jacking - Excellent protection from the dangers of car-jackers who oftem smash their way through a side window in order to steal valuables from the occupants and/or the car itself.
• Resists Thieves - Most thieves breakthrough a side window when stealing from a vehicle. Security Film Protection is designed to slow thieves down so significantly that in most cases they will simply give up and run off. Security Film offers an extremely efficient level of protection.
• Hide Valuables - When valuables have to be kept on the rear seats or cargo area of a vehicle, privacy tints help to prevent them from being easily spotted by prying eyes.

 

The Law

What is excessively tinted glass?

Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 as amended specify the minimum levels of light that must pass through the windscreen and front side windows. The limits are:

Motors vehicles first used before 1 April 1985: The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.

Motor vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985: The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%. The fromt side windows must allow at least 70% of the light to be transmitted through them.

If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light, then the vehicle does not meet the legal requirements.

Which windows in the vehicle does this apply to?

The windscreen and the front side windows to either side of the drivers head.

How does excessively tinted glass affect road safety?

It restricts the drivers vision, especially in dark conditions. This may prevent drivers from seeing other road users or pedestrians.

It also prevents other road users and pedestrians from confirming through eye contact that they have been seen.

What is the purpose of the law?

The purpose of the law is to ensure the drivers ability to see the road is not excessively restricted by the glass tint.

Legally where do I stand?

 If you are the driver -

You must not drive a vehicle on the road with the windscreen or front side windows excessively tinted. You may also invalidate your insurance with this modification, particularly as the vehicle is likely to be illegal.

If you're selling a vehicle with extra tinting applied to the windscreen or front side windows-

The vehicle may now have glass that is darker than permitted by the Construction and Use Regulations, in which case the vehicle should not be sold.

Why are tinted windows not included in the MOT test?

Excessively tinted glass is seen as a serious issue but one which currently affects only a small number of the 24 million vehicles tested annually. To include this item in the MOT test would require all 18,000 garages to incur expenditure on special test equipment and the time taken to carry out an MOT test would increase. The MOT fee would have to be raised to cover the extra time and investment. This extra cost would affect all motorists - all for a small number of vehicles. With the current levels of offending, roadside enforcement is a better route as it targets the offenders while minimising the cost and inconvenience to compliant road users.

Is this a nationwide campaign?

Yes. VOSA staff throughout the country have been issued with testing equipment. If the equipment is not available, a subjective assessment will be carried out. If the vehicle is considered dangerous to drive then an immediate prohibition may be issued.
