Fitted prices start at €90 for two front windows on a three-door hatchback, €160 for a saloon rear set and €240 for a full SUV or jeep (windscreen excluded). Film, labour and warranty are included. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/pricing ### How much to tint car windows in Ireland? In the South East, €90–€240 fitted depending on body type and how many windows you tint. South East Window Tinting quotes the exact figure by vehicle before any film is cut. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/pricing ### Are tinted windows illegal in Ireland? No. Front side windows must let through at least 50% of light and the windscreen at least 65%. Glass behind the driver on a passenger car has no darkness limit. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/tint-laws-ireland ### Can I tint my front windows? Yes, provided the finished glass still transmits 50% or more light. Factory glass already absorbs some light, so the film shade is chosen to keep you legal at NCT. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/tint-laws-ireland ### How long does it take to tint windows? Most cars are done in a few hours and go home the same day. Film cures over the following days, during which the windows should stay closed. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/faq ### Do tinted car windows block UV rays? Yes — the film fitted here blocks up to 99% of UV, which is why it also protects the dashboard, trim and rear seats from fading. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/services/car-window-tinting ### Can tint be removed from car windows? Yes. Old, purple or bubbled film is stripped, the glass and demister lines are cleaned, and new film is fitted the same day where time allows. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/services/car-window-tinting ### Will tinting windows affect insurance in Ireland? Legal tint fitted to a standard car is a normal modification. Tell your insurer you have had it done — it is rarely rated, but non-disclosure is what causes problems. Source page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/faq ## Service area - Gorey, Co.

A rear set takes between two and three hours depending on the vehicle. Drop the car in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. ### Do I need an appointment? Yes. We work one car at a time in a clean, dust-controlled space, so slots are booked rather than walk-in. You can request a time online and we confirm by phone. ### Can I remove or change the tint later? Yes. Tint is fully reversible, so the car can always go back to its factory finish. Depending on the age and type of film it can be slow work, so we charge €200 for a tint removal. On rear screens it has to be done carefully to avoid damaging the demister lines. ### When is the best time of year to book? Summer is our busiest stretch, with a second rush in spring and a much quieter run from October to December. If you want a particular date, book in the winter; if you want it done before the summer, book in the spring rather than in July. ### Do tinted car windows block UV rays? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB. That is the main reason interiors last longer behind film, and it applies even to very light, near-clear film. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about South East Window Tinting as a business. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "workshop": "Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.

All prices are fitted prices in euro, including film, labour and warranty, at Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford.

The cheapest sound option is a rear set on its own — €140 fitted on a three-door hatchback, €160 on a saloon, €190 on an SUV or jeep. Glass behind the driver has no legal darkness limit in Ireland, so a rear set delivers the privacy and heat reduction most drivers want without paying for the light legal film that front glass requires. Prices are identical for every customer regardless of the town they drive from: there is no travel charge and no mobile premium, because all work is done at one workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford.

At South East Window Tinting a set of two front windows starts at €90 on a three-door hatchback, a rear set from €140 and a full car from €190. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. Every figure is the fitted price in euro — film, labour and warranty included. ### What is the most affordable window tinting in Ireland? The cheapest way to tint a car properly is a rear set only: the glass behind the driver has no legal darkness limit, so you get the privacy and heat reduction people actually want without paying for light legal film on the fronts. On a three-door hatchback that is €140 fitted. Anything cheaper than that in Ireland is usually a mobile job with unbranded film and no warranty, which costs more once it bubbles and has to come off. ### Is cheap window tinting worth it? Not if the film purples or bubbles inside two summers. Our prices are deliberately kept low by working from one workshop in Gorey rather than running a mobile van, and by fitting a warranted film. You pay once, and the warranty covers bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change. ### Are there any hidden costs? No. The price quoted at booking is the price on collection. Two things are quoted separately because they cannot be seen until the car is in: stripping old film that a previous installer fitted, and extras such as sunroofs or quarter lights. ### Do you charge more for customers outside Wexford? No. The same fitted prices apply whether you drive from Gorey, Enniscorthy, Wexford town, Arklow, Carlow, Waterford, Kilkenny or Wicklow. There is no travel charge and no mobile premium — you bring the car to the workshop and drive it away the same day. ### How much is it to tint a van? Vans and jeeps are priced on the SUV / jeep scale: from €110 for the front pair, €190 for a rear set and €240 for a full van excluding the windscreen. Larger, deeply curved rear glass can add to that, and we confirm before starting. ### Do I pay a deposit? A small deposit secures the slot and the balance is paid on collection. If you need to move the date, tell us in advance and the deposit moves with the booking. ### Does the price include removing old tint? No — tint removal is a separate €200 charge, because old film on a heated rear screen has to be steamed off slowly to protect the demister lines. ### How much is it to tint car windows? Car window tinting at South East Window Tinting in Gorey, Co. Wexford costs from €90 to €240 fitted. Two front windows start at €90, a rear set from €140, and a full car (excluding front windshield) from €190 on a hatchback, rising to €240 for a full SUV. ### Where can I get my car windows tinted near me? If you are in Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, Kilkenny or Waterford, South East Window Tinting in Gorey is your local car window tinting workshop. Book online, pick a time or send an enquiry, and call (053) 942 2900 with any questions. ### Do tinted car windows block UV rays? Yes. Quality window film blocks the large majority of UV light, which protects skin on long drives and slows fading of seats and dashboards. Ask us which film suits your car and we will explain the protection it gives. ### Can tint be removed from car windows? Yes. We remove old, bubbled or illegal tint for €200, taking care with heated rear screens so the demister lines are not damaged. New film can be fitted afterwards at the normal fitted price. ### Why choose a local shop over a Dublin tint studio? You get the same quality of film and fitting without the drive to Dublin. South East Window Tinting charges no travel fee, prices start at €90 fitted, every job carries a warranty, and you deal directly with the installer in Gorey. ### How long does window tinting take? Tinting the two front windows usually takes about an hour. A rear set takes between two and three hours depending on the vehicle. Drop the car in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. ### Do I need an appointment? Yes. We work one car at a time in a clean, dust-controlled space, so slots are booked rather than walk-in. You can request a time online and we confirm by phone. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about car window tinting prices. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "workshop": "Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.

At our Gorey workshop a set of two front windows starts at €90 on a three-door hatchback, €100 on a saloon and €110 on an SUV or jeep. Rear sets run from €140 and a full car (excluding the windscreen) from €190. Every figure is a fitted price including film, labour and warranty. ### What is the difference between dyed, metallised and ceramic window film? Dyed film mainly cuts glare and light and is the cheapest option. Metallised film adds real heat rejection but can interfere with some aerials and sensors. Ceramic film rejects the most infrared heat with no signal interference, which is why it costs more. We will tell you honestly which one your budget buys for your car. ### Can you tint van, jeep and crew cab windows? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, while the cab glass is kept inside the Irish legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV rate. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive is cleaned off the glass and the car is re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Is tinting the front windows legal in Ireland? Only with a light film. Front side windows must still transmit at least 50% of light and the windscreen at least 65%. Glass behind the driver on a passenger car has no darkness limit, so most customers go legal up front and dark behind the driver. ### How long does a window tinting job take? Most cars are finished the same day — the front pair takes about an hour and a rear set two to three hours, with a full car or large SUV longer. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Do you offer mobile window tinting? No. Every car is fitted indoors at the Gorey workshop in a clean, dust-controlled space, because film fitted outdoors picks up dust and contamination that shows up as specks under the glass. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about the car window tinting service. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "workshop": "Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.

Wexford South East Window Tinting serves Gorey from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — the workshop town itself. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. Same-day collection is normal for Gorey when the car is dropped on a morning slot. Customers drive to the Gorey workshop; we do not operate a branch in Gorey and there is no mobile fitting. - Focus keyword: car window tinting Gorey - Supporting keywords: window tinting gorey co. wexford, same day car tinting gorey, rear window tint gorey, legal tint ireland front windows, tint removal gorey, window tinting gorey, car tint near me gorey, tinted windows wexford, 35% tint ireland, rear window tint - Page type: local service page (single workshop, customer travels in) - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/locations/gorey ## Local detail Because the workshop is in Gorey, this is the one town where you can drop the car in the morning, walk into the Main Street for a coffee, and collect it tinted the same afternoon. No courtesy-car juggling and no waiting a week for a slot. Gorey sees a lot of M11 commuter mileage — Dublin runs in the morning sun and evening glare coming back south. That is exactly the driving pattern film is built for: less heat load on the cabin, far less squinting into low sun, and rear passengers out of direct glare. Every install uses quality film cut and heat-shrunk to your glass, not a pre-cut sheet forced into place. If a shade would put your car outside Irish legal limits on the front glass, we will say so before we start rather than after. ## Getting here Straight off the M11 at the Gorey exits — a couple of minutes from the town centre and the retail park. Roads used: M11 Junctions 22–23, N11, R741 Courtown Road, R772 Main Street. [Driving directions from Gorey](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland&destination=South%20East%20Window%20Tinting%2C%20Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland) ## Driving and parking in Gorey Most Gorey drivers park on Main Street, the Esmonde Street side streets or the retail park off the M11 roundabout — all open, unshaded surface parking where a car bakes from mid-morning on. Leaving a car out for a working day in Gorey is exactly the pattern film is bought for. ## Vehicles typically tinted from Gorey Commuter saloons and estates doing the Dublin run, family hatchbacks on the school runs to Gorey Community School, and a steady flow of vans off the Ramsfort and Kilnahue business parks. ## Same-day collection Gorey is the shortest run of all — drop the keys before 9am, walk into Main Street, and the car is normally finished for collection the same afternoon. ## Why drivers in Gorey tint M11 commuter traffic, low morning and evening sun, and a lot of family cars carrying kids in the back. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Gorey | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Rear three-quarter view of a tinted white Land Cruiser pickup — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Gorey, Co.

Yes — the workshop is in Gorey, so cars are tinted here by hand, indoors, usually the same day you drop the keys in. ### How much does window tinting cost in Gorey? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Gorey? You are in it — the unit is in Gorey itself, just off the M11. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run across town is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wexford? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Gorey businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Gorey. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Gorey, Co.

Forty-five minutes up the N11 keeps it a one-trip job. Coastal driving is hard on interiors. Cars parked along the quays and out towards Rosslare take direct sun most of the day in summer, and UV is what fades dashboards, cracks trim and bleaches rear seats. A quality film blocks effectively all of it while leaving the glass looking factory. Book a morning slot and the car is normally ready the same day, so it is one trip rather than two. ## Getting here N11 north from Wexford Town through Enniscorthy and Ferns — roughly 45 minutes door to door. Roads used: N11 via Ferns and Enniscorthy, N25 Rosslare Road, R730 Clonard, Wexford Quays. [Driving directions from Wexford Town](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Wexford%20Town%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland&destination=South%20East%20Window%20Tinting%2C%20Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland) ## Driving and parking in Wexford Town Quay-front and Trinity Street parking in Wexford Town leaves cars in unbroken sun off the harbour for most of the day, and the Clonard and Whitemill estates are largely open driveways. That is a full working day of UV on a dashboard, five days a week. ## Vehicles typically tinted from Wexford Town Mid-size saloons and estates commuting to the business parks at Whitemill and Drinagh, family SUVs, and hospital and port shift cars parked outdoors all day. ## Same-day collection At about 45 minutes on the N11, a first-slot booking is comfortably a same-day collection — one trip up and back rather than two. ## Why drivers in Wexford Town tint Coastal sun exposure, Rosslare port traffic, and a lot of cars parked along the quays all day. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Wexford Town | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Low angle rear three-quarter of a white BMW 1 Series showing the tinted rear quarter glass — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Wexford Town, Co.

Yes. We serve Wexford Town from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 45 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Wexford Town and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Wexford Town? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Wexford Town? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 45 minutes from Wexford Town, also used by drivers from Rosslare, Castlebridge, Curracloe. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you?

Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wexford?

Wicklow South East Window Tinting serves Arklow from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 20 minutes' drive away. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. Same-day collection is normal for Arklow when the car is dropped on a morning slot.

The Arklow stretch of the M11 runs almost due north-south, which means low sun straight through the windscreen and side glass at both ends of a commute. Film on the front sides is the single change most commuters notice immediately, provided the shade stays inside Irish legal limits. Vans and work vehicles from the Arklow business parks are handled the same way as cars — rear glass blacked out for security, cab glass kept legal. ## Getting here South on the M11, exit for Gorey — about 20 minutes with clear traffic. Roads used: M11 Junction 20, R772 Coolgreany Road, Main Street Arklow, N11. [Driving directions from Arklow](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Arklow%2C%20Co.%20Wicklow%2C%20Ireland&destination=South%20East%20Window%20Tinting%2C%20Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland) ## Driving and parking in Arklow Arklow parking is mostly open ground — the Bridgewater centre, the seafront at North Beach and the long unshaded rows at the business parks. Cars sit facing the sea and the low sun with nothing over them. ## Vehicles typically tinted from Arklow Work vans and crew cabs from the Arklow business parks and the wind-farm contractors, plus commuter hatchbacks running north on the M11 every morning. ## Same-day collection Twenty minutes down the M11 means Arklow drivers can drop in the morning and collect the same day, or wait locally in Gorey for shorter jobs. ## Why drivers in Arklow tint North-south M11 commuting, strong low-sun glare, and a lot of van and work traffic. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Arklow | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Front-left side profile of a tinted white BMW M140i M Performance hatchback — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Arklow, Co.

We serve Arklow from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 20 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Arklow and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Arklow? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Arklow? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 20 minutes from Arklow, also used by drivers from Avoca, Woodenbridge, Castletown. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Arklow is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wicklow? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Arklow businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Arklow. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Arklow, Co.

A lot of Enniscorthy cars are family cars doing school and pitch runs, and the most common request is rear-set privacy tint — rear doors, quarter glass and rear screen — leaving the front glass untouched and fully legal. That combination gives you back-seat privacy and heat control without any risk at NCT time. If a car already has old, purpling or bubbled film on it, removal and re-tint is quoted as one job rather than being sprung on you afterwards. ## Getting here N11 north from Enniscorthy towards Ferns and Gorey — roughly 30 minutes.

Wicklow South East Window Tinting serves Wicklow Town from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 40 minutes' drive away. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. Same-day collection is normal for Wicklow Town when the car is dropped on a morning slot.

We are about forty minutes south on the M11 — usually the shorter of the options. Wicklow's commuter belt runs hard into Dublin, so cars here rack up motorway miles with the sun low across the Irish Sea for most of the morning. Heat-rejecting film keeps the cabin usable without cranking air conditioning, which matters more on a long daily run than on short town trips. For anyone commuting through Dublin, worth knowing: the legal limits on front glass are national, not county-based, so a legal tint here is a legal tint everywhere in the State. ## Getting here M11 south from Wicklow Town, exit for Gorey — around 40 minutes. Roads used: M11 Junctions 17–18, R750 coast road, N11 Rathnew, R772 Ashford.

Yes. We serve Wicklow Town from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 40 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Wicklow Town and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Wicklow Town? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Wicklow Town? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 40 minutes from Wicklow Town, also used by drivers from Rathnew, Ashford, Brittas Bay. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Wicklow Town is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wicklow? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Wicklow Town businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Wicklow Town. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Wicklow Town, Co.

Ten minutes on the R742 and you are at the workshop, which makes it practical to book a morning slot and be back on the coast for the afternoon. Seaside parking is brutal on car interiors: sun straight off the water all day, salt in the air, and cars often left sitting for hours at the harbour or the beach car parks. UV-blocking film is the cheapest thing you can do to slow dashboard fade and keep the cabin from turning into an oven. It is also a genuine security measure on a holiday-home or beach car — a dark rear set means nobody can see what is on the back seat from the footpath. ## Getting here R742 inland from Courtown to Gorey — about 10 minutes. Roads used: R742 Courtown Road, R741 to Gorey, Riverchapel to Ballymoney coast road.

Most Courtown customers wait rather than come back, and collection the same day is the norm. ## Why drivers in Courtown tint Constant coastal sun, cars left parked at the beach and harbour, and boot-load privacy in summer. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Courtown | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Top-down view of a black Renault Kadjar roof and panoramic glass after window tinting — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Courtown, Co.

Carlow South East Window Tinting serves Carlow Town from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 60 minutes' drive away. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. At roughly 60 minutes each way, Carlow Town jobs are best booked on the first slot of the day. Customers drive to the Gorey workshop; we do not operate a branch in Carlow Town and there is no mobile fitting. - Focus keyword: car window tinting Carlow Town - Supporting keywords: window tinting carlow, jeep and pickup window tinting ireland, heat rejection front window film, tinted windows co. carlow, car tint prices carlow, window tinting carlow town, car tint near me carlow town, tinted windows carlow, 35% tint ireland, rear window tint - Page type: local service page (single workshop, customer travels in) - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/locations/carlow-town ## Local detail The honest caveat with Carlow is the distance: an hour each way means this makes sense as a booked, dropped-and-collected job rather than a spur-of-the-moment call-in. Inland Carlow driving is different from the coast — less salt, more long straight runs on the M9 and N80 with sun square in your eyes. Front-glass heat rejection film (kept inside legal limits) does more for those drives than a dark rear set will. Agricultural and commercial vehicles are welcome. Jeeps, pickups and crew cabs are quoted on the SUV rate. ## Getting here N80 east towards Bunclody, then the N11 to Gorey — allow about an hour. Roads used: N80 east to Bunclody, M9 Junctions 5–6, N11 to Gorey, R725 Tullow Road.

Yes. We serve Carlow Town from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 60 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Carlow Town and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Carlow Town? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Carlow Town? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 60 minutes from Carlow Town, also used by drivers from Tullow, Bagenalstown, Leighlinbridge. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Carlow Town is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Carlow? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Carlow Town businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Carlow Town. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Carlow Town, Co.

Wicklow South East Window Tinting serves Bray from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 55 minutes' drive away.

South is the easier drive: the M11 the whole way, no tolls on the route, no city parking at the end of it, and the car goes straight into a workshop bay rather than a queue. Bray runs a lot of seafront and Dublin-commuter mileage, which is the worst combination for glare — sun off the Irish Sea in the morning and low sun on the way home. Heat-rejecting film on the front sides, kept inside the legal limit, is the change commuters here notice first. If the car is a family car doing Bray-to-Dublin runs with kids in the back, the usual spec is a legal front pair plus a darker rear set — cooler back seats and no glare in car seats. ## Getting here M11 south from Bray, straight through to the Gorey exits — about 55 minutes outside rush hour. Roads used: M11 Junctions 5–7, N11 Dublin Road, R761 Bray seafront, Southern Cross Route. [Driving directions from Bray](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Bray%2C%20Co.%20Wicklow%2C%20Ireland&destination=South%20East%20Window%20Tinting%2C%20Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland) ## Driving and parking in Bray Bray seafront, the DART station and the Southern Cross parks are all long-stay open-air, so a commuter car is often sitting in sun and salt air from 7am until evening. ## Vehicles typically tinted from Bray Dublin commuter hatchbacks and saloons, family SUVs with kids in the back on the M11 run, and a steady number of EVs. ## Same-day collection Fifty-five minutes straight down the M11 with no tolls and no city parking at the end — an early booking is a same-day collection. ## Why drivers in Bray tint Seafront glare, heavy Dublin commuting, and family cars that need cool back seats. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Bray | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Front-left view of a tinted silver BMW saloon — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Bray, Co.

We serve Bray from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 55 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Bray and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Bray? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Bray? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 55 minutes from Bray, also used by drivers from Shankill, Enniskerry, Kilmacanogue. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Bray is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wicklow? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Bray businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Bray. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Bray, Co.

Fifty minutes south on the M11 is generally the shortest run to somebody who cuts and heat-shrinks film to your glass rather than fitting a pre-cut kit. Coastal cars here sit in direct sun at the harbour, the marina and the DART car parks for hours at a time. UV is what fades a dashboard and cracks door trim, and quality film blocks effectively all of it while leaving the glass looking factory from the outside. Greystones sees a lot of newer EVs and hybrids, where cabin heat directly costs range in summer. Reducing solar gain means less air conditioning, which is the cheapest range you will ever buy. ## Getting here N11/M11 south past Wicklow and Arklow to the Gorey exits — roughly 50 minutes. Roads used: M11 Junctions 10–12, R774 Greystones to Delgany, N11, Charlesland to Kilcoole coast road. [Driving directions from Greystones](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Greystones%2C%20Co.%20Wicklow%2C%20Ireland&destination=South%20East%20Window%20Tinting%2C%20Gorey%2C%20Co.%20Wexford%2C%20Ireland) ## Driving and parking in Greystones The marina, harbour and DART car parks in Greystones are fully exposed east-facing tarmac, and Charlesland driveways are open. Cars here typically sit unshaded from the morning DART right through to the evening one. ## Vehicles typically tinted from Greystones A high proportion of newer EVs and hybrids where cabin heat costs range, plus family estates and SUVs on the Dublin commute. ## Same-day collection Fifty minutes on the M11 — drop the car on the way out in the morning and collect it tinted the same day. ## Why drivers in Greystones tint All-day coastal parking, strong sea glare, and EV owners cutting cabin heat to protect range. ## Prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | ## Irish tint law that applies in Greystones | Glass | Legal minimum | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Windscreen | 65% VLT minimum | NCT failure item below this | | Front side windows | 50% VLT minimum | Checked at Garda roadside stops | | Rear doors, quarter glass, rear screen | No limit | Any darkness is legal | ## Image on this page ![Front-right view of a tinted silver BMW saloon — work by South East Window Tinting, serving Greystones, Co.

Wexford South East Window Tinting serves New Ross from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 55 minutes' drive away. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. Same-day collection is normal for New Ross when the car is dropped on a morning slot. Customers drive to the Gorey workshop; we do not operate a branch in New Ross and there is no mobile fitting. - Focus keyword: car window tinting New Ross - Supporting keywords: window tinting new ross co. wexford, van and crew cab window tinting ireland, cargo glass privacy tint, tint removal new ross, car tint prices south east, window tinting new ross, car tint near me new ross, tinted windows wexford, 35% tint ireland, rear window tint - Page type: local service page (single workshop, customer travels in) - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/locations/new-ross ## Local detail New Ross sits between Wexford, Waterford and south Kilkenny, and drivers from all three tend to pass through it. The run to us is the N30 to Enniscorthy and then the N11 north — under an hour, and it avoids the Waterford city crawl entirely. A lot of what comes in from this side of the county is working vehicles: crew cabs, pickups and vans off the quays and the surrounding farms. Rear and cargo glass blacked out for load privacy, cab glass kept inside the legal limit so there is never an NCT or roadside argument. Older cars often arrive with purpling, bubbled film from a previous job. Stripping that off is quoted as part of the same job, up front, rather than added at the end. ## Getting here N30 north-east to Enniscorthy, then the N11 to Gorey — about 55 minutes. Roads used: N30 to Enniscorthy, N25 Waterford Road, R700 to Kilkenny, The Quay, New Ross.

Yes. We serve New Ross from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 55 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in New Ross and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in New Ross? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to New Ross? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 55 minutes from New Ross, also used by drivers from Campile, Ballywilliam, Rosbercon. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from New Ross is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Wexford? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for New Ross businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in New Ross. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "New Ross, Co.

Book the first slot of the morning and the car is normally tinted and back with you the same afternoon, so it stays a single trip. Nowhere in the county takes more direct sun and salt than the Rosslare strand and harbour. Cars sit exposed for entire days, and UV plus heat is what bleaches rear seats, warps dash plastics and turns a parked cabin into an oven. Film is the cheapest protection there is for an interior. For anyone driving on and off the ferry, the limits on front glass are national Irish law and are checked at NCT, so we will advise the legal shade before any film goes on rather than after. ## Getting here N25 into Wexford Town, then north on the N11 through Enniscorthy and Ferns — about 65 minutes. Roads used: N25 to Wexford Town, N11 north via Enniscorthy and Ferns, R740 Strand Road, Rosslare Europort approach.

Kilkenny South East Window Tinting serves Kilkenny City from Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — about 90 minutes' drive away. Cars, vans and jeeps tinted by hand, legal shades on front glass, fitted prices €90–€240. At roughly 90 minutes each way, Kilkenny City jobs are best booked on the first slot of the day. Customers drive to the Gorey workshop; we do not operate a branch in Kilkenny City and there is no mobile fitting. - Focus keyword: car window tinting Kilkenny - Supporting keywords: window tinting kilkenny city, full car window tinting ireland, heat rejection front window film, tinted windows co. kilkenny, professional tint installer south east, car tint near me kilkenny city, tinted windows kilkenny, 35% tint ireland, rear window tint, van window tinting - Page type: local service page (single workshop, customer travels in) - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/locations/kilkenny-city ## Local detail Kilkenny is the furthest inland town we publish a page for, and the honest advice is the same as for Waterford: at ninety minutes each way, book it as a planned full-car job and take the earliest slot of the day. Inland Kilkenny driving is long, straight and sun-in-your-eyes on the N10, M9 and R700 rather than coastal. That makes front-glass heat rejection — kept inside the Irish legal limit — do more real work than a very dark rear set would. There is very little tinting supply in Kilkenny itself, which is why the trip east happens at all. Everything is quoted before work starts, so nobody drives ninety minutes to a surprise price. ## Getting here N30 east through New Ross to Enniscorthy, then the N11 north to Gorey — allow about 90 minutes. Roads used: N10 to Waterford, M9 Junctions 8–9, R700 to New Ross, N30 east to Enniscorthy.

Yes. We serve Kilkenny City from our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, about 90 minutes away. You drive the car to us; there is no branch in Kilkenny City and we do not fit outdoors. ### How much does window tinting cost in Kilkenny City? The same fitted prices apply wherever you drive from: from €90 for a set of front windows, from €140 for a rear set and from €190 for a full car excluding the windscreen. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. There is no travel charge and no quote-on-the-day surprise. ### Where is the nearest place to get car windows tinted to Kilkenny City? Our Gorey workshop, roughly 90 minutes from Kilkenny City, also used by drivers from Callan, Thomastown, Castlecomer. Because everything is fitted indoors in one dust-controlled space, the finish is consistent in a way mobile fitting cannot match. ### How long will my car be with you? Most cars are finished in two to three hours, so a run from Kilkenny City is a single trip. Drop it in the morning and it is normally ready the same afternoon. Leave the windows up for 3 to 5 days afterwards while the film cures. ### Is the tint legal to drive in Kilkenny? Yes, when the shades are kept inside Irish limits: at least 65% light transmission on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows. Rear doors, quarter glass and the rear screen have no darkness limit, so those can go as dark as you like. We check the shade against the limits before we start, not after. ### Will tinted windows fail the NCT? Legal rear tint does not fail an NCT. A car fails when the windscreen or front side windows drop below the light-transmission levels above, or when damaged film obstructs vision. If a previous installer went too dark up front, we can strip it and refit a legal film. ### Does the tint block UV and reduce heat? Quality automotive film blocks effectively all UVA and UVB, which is what fades dashboards and bleaches rear seats. Heat is different: dyed film mainly cuts glare, while ceramic film rejects a large share of infrared. We will tell you plainly which one your budget buys. ### Can you remove old or purple tint before fitting new film? Yes. Old film is steamed and peeled, the adhesive cleaned off the glass, and the car re-tinted properly. Tint removal is charged at €200 because it is slow work, and rear screens are done carefully to protect the demister lines. ### Do you tint vans and jeeps for Kilkenny City businesses? Yes. Rear and load-area glass on vans, jeeps and crew cabs can be blacked out completely for load security, with the cab glass kept inside the legal limits. Commercial vehicles are priced on the SUV / jeep scale. ### What is covered by the warranty? A Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film — covering bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change (purpling) — plus our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting. Damage caused by ammonia-based cleaners or blades on the inside of the glass is not covered. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about tinting in Kilkenny City. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "serviceArea": "Kilkenny City, Co.

For summer heat, a ceramic rear set is the upgrade that earns its money. Dark dyed film handles privacy but does comparatively little for either. ::: ## The two Irish problems Low winter sun sits right at eye level on east–west roads — the N25 in the morning, the N11 in the evening. That is a front-glass problem, and it is solved with light film with high infrared rejection, not with darkness. Summer heat is a rear and roof problem. A parked car with big glass builds cabin temperature fast, and that is where ceramic film on the rear set makes a difference you can feel getting in. :::stats 65% | Minimum light on front glass Up to 99% | UV blocked by quality film Rear glass | No legal limit at all ::: ## Matching film to the problem | Your complaint | What helps most | |---|---| | Sun in the eyes on the commute | Legal-limit ceramic on the front pair | | Cabin like an oven after work | Ceramic rear set | | Back seat too bright for the kids | 20% or 15% rear sides | | Dash and seats fading | Any quality film — UV rejection is near universal | :::tip People often ask for the darkest legal front film to fix glare.

Tint removal is charged at €200, because baked-on film can take several times longer than recent work. ::: ## Why film goes purple and bubbles Cheap dyed film uses unstable dyes. UV breaks them down, the grey drifts to purple, and the adhesive fails in patches — those are the bubbles. It is a materials problem, not a fitting problem. :::key-facts - Purple colour means the dye has failed - Bubbles mean the adhesive has let go - Rear screens need extra care around demister lines - Glass must be residue-free before new film goes on ::: ## The removal process :::steps Heat | The pane is warmed so the adhesive releases rather than tears. Peel | Film is lifted in one piece where possible, in sections where it is not. Residue | Adhesive is softened and removed with plastic blades, never metal. Clean | The glass is de-contaminated and dried before refitting. ::: :::warning Rear screens are where DIY removal goes wrong. The demister element sits on the glass under the film — a metal blade or an aggressive pull takes the lines with it, and that is an expensive repair. ::: ## What it costs Tint removal is €200.

As it dries out you may see haze, a milky patch or tiny pockets. In an Irish October that takes longer to clear than it would in a Spanish August. :::steps Days 1–3 | Windows stay up. No exceptions, even for the drive-through. Days 3–7 | Most haze clears. Pockets may still show in cool, damp weather. Weeks 2–4 | Fully cured. Anything still visible at this point, ring us. Ongoing | Clean with a soft cloth and a non-ammonia cleaner. ::: :::warning Ammonia-based glass cleaner is the single most common cause of film failing early. Check the label, and keep it away from the inside of tinted glass. ::: ## Winter and ice Never scrape the inside of a tinted window. If the inside of the glass ices up, warm the cabin and wipe with a soft cloth. :::checklist - Non-ammonia cleaner only - Soft microfibre, never paper towel - No scraping on the inside face - Rear demister lines are under the film — be gentle around them ::: ## If something is not right Come back to us.

Window tint is a film applied to the inside of the pane. Privacy glass gives you the dark look; film is what adds meaningful heat and UV rejection. ::: ## Why people tint over factory privacy glass Privacy glass is usually around 25–30% light transmission, and its heat performance is modest. A quality film applied over it darkens the glass further and adds the infrared rejection the factory glass never had. | | Factory privacy glass | Applied tint film | |---|---|---| | How it is made | Dye in the glass | Film on the inside face | | Heat rejection | Modest | Good to excellent | | UV rejection | Partial | Very high | | Shade choice | Fixed by the manufacturer | 70% down to 5% | | Matching front glass | Not possible | Legal-limit film available | :::tip If your car has privacy glass in the rear and clear front doors, a legal-limit film on the front evens out the look from the outside without touching the legal line. ::: ## Does film over privacy glass look too dark? It can, and that is a real conversation to have before we cut. Over privacy glass we usually suggest 35% rather than 20% — the combined result lands close to where a 20% film would sit on clear glass. :::key-facts - Privacy glass alone does little for cabin heat - Film over privacy glass compounds the darkness - 35% film over privacy glass is the usual sweet spot - Front glass rules are unchanged either way ::: ## Related reading on this site - [What each shade looks like](/portfolio) - [Fitted prices](/pricing) - [Irish tint law](/tint-laws-ireland) - [Book a fitting](/book) ## Sources and local businesses we rate Legal detail in this article follows the published Irish position — see the [Road Safety Authority](https://www.rsa.ie/), [Citizens Information on motoring](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/motoring/) and the [National Car Testing Service](https://www.ncts.ie/).

A two-minute phone call removes that entirely. :::steps Ring your insurer | Ask for the modifications line rather than the sales line. Say what was done | "Rear side windows and rear screen tinted, front glass untouched" is usually enough. Confirm the shade | Give the percentage if they ask for it.

Ceramic film costs more and earns it through heat rejection without any signal interference. Metallised film sits in between but can interfere with aerials and keyless entry on some cars. ::: ## The three film families | Film type | Heat rejection | Fading over time | Signal interference | |---|---|---|---| | Dyed | Modest | Can fade if it is cheap stock | None | | Metallised | Good | Very stable | Possible on some cars | | Ceramic | Best in class | Very stable | None | ## Does ceramic make sense in an Irish climate? Honestly: it depends on the car and how you use it. In a black SUV that sits in a car park all summer, or a car with a big glass roof, ceramic makes a real difference to cabin temperature. In a small hatchback that lives on shaded streets, dyed film at 20% gives you the look and the privacy for less. :::key-facts - Ceramic rejects the most infrared heat without going dark - Dyed film is the value pick for rear privacy - Metallised film can affect aerials and keyless systems - All three block the vast majority of UV ::: :::tip If glare on the M11 in low winter sun is your problem rather than summer heat, a lighter ceramic on the front at the legal limit often helps more than going darker on the rear. ::: ## What we recommend by use case :::checklist - Family SUV, long motorway runs: ceramic rear set - City hatchback, privacy only: dyed 20% rear set - Work van with tools inside: 5% rear, film choice second to shade - Car with a panoramic roof: ceramic every time ::: Prices for each body type are on the [pricing page](/pricing) — the film choice is discussed when you book, not bolted on as a surprise. ## Related reading on this site - [Fitted prices by body type](/pricing) - [The tinting service explained](/services/car-window-tinting) - [Tint shades side by side](/portfolio) - [Book a fitting](/book) ## Sources and local businesses we rate Legal detail in this article follows the published Irish position — see the [Road Safety Authority](https://www.rsa.ie/), [Citizens Information on motoring](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/motoring/) and the [National Car Testing Service](https://www.ncts.ie/).

The car drives fine, looks great, and fails on the front glass. The fix is stripping the film — not an argument at the test centre. :::warning Old film that is bubbling on the inside of the windscreen is a fail risk even where the shade itself is light. Damaged film scatters light and obstructs the view. ::: ## Getting ready for test day :::checklist - Strip any added film from the windscreen and front doors - Make sure the glass is left clean, with no adhesive haze - Keep the rear as dark as you like — it is not tested - Book the strip a week before the test, not the day before ::: ## What it costs to put right Film removal is quoted after we see the glass, because heat-baked old film takes far longer than recent work.

Lower number means darker glass. ::: ## The five shades we fit :::stats 70% | Light, heat control, looks factory 35% | Clear privacy, still easy at night 5% | Limo black, rear only ::: **70%** — you can barely tell it is on the car. Good if you want heat and UV control without changing how the car looks. **50%** — a soft grey. Cuts glare on the N11 and N25 without darkening the cabin much. **35%** — the popular middle ground. Real privacy in daylight, still comfortable to reverse at night. **20%** — properly dark. This is what most people picture when they say "tinted". **5%** — limo. Rear only, and worth thinking about if you park in unlit spots and reverse a lot. ## Which shades are legal on which glass | Glass | Legal position in Ireland | What we usually fit | |---|---|---| | Windscreen | Must pass at least 65% of light | Left clear, or a light top strip | | Front side windows | Must pass at least 65% of light | Legal-limit film only | | Rear side windows | No light limit | 20%, 15% or 5% to taste | | Rear screen | No light limit | Matched to the rear sides | :::tip Night driving is the deciding factor, not daylight. If you do a lot of unlit country road at night and you are unsure between 20% and 35%, take 35% on the rear sides — you will not regret the extra visibility when reversing. ::: ## Choosing by what the car is for :::key-facts - Family car with child seats: 20% or 15% on the rear - Work van: 5% rear, nothing on the front - Daily commuter: 50% or 70% for heat, front legal - Show car: 20% rear with a matched legal front ::: ## See the shades on real glass We keep sample panels in the workshop so you can hold each shade against your own car before we cut anything. ## Related reading on this site - [What each shade costs fitted](/pricing) - [Legal limits in Ireland](/tint-laws-ireland) - [Shade comparison on real cars](/portfolio) - [Book a fitting](/book) ## Sources and local businesses we rate Legal detail in this article follows the published Irish position — see the [Road Safety Authority](https://www.rsa.ie/), [Citizens Information on motoring](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/motoring/) and the [National Car Testing Service](https://www.ncts.ie/).

That glass is unrestricted, so a 5% "limo" shade on the rear of a family SUV is perfectly legal. Plenty of cars also leave the factory with privacy glass already fitted in the rear. ## Where drivers get caught out :::warning The three common problems are imports that arrived with dark front film already on, a front pair matched to a dark rear "so it looks even", and old film that was never removed properly. All three are front-glass issues. ::: ## What a Garda check looks like A roadside check is a judgement call on the front glass. If the film is obviously heavy on the driver's door, expect to be asked about it. Film fitted at the legal limit is not something you will be pulled over for. :::key-facts - 65% light transmission minimum on windscreen and front sides - No limit on rear side windows or the rear screen - Factory privacy glass is never a compliance problem - Imports with dark front film need the film stripped ::: ## What we do about it We fit to the legal side of the line on the front, and as dark as you like behind the B-pillar.

The price is set by body type and how many windows you want done — not by how dark the film is. ::: ## What you actually pay, by body type Every price below is fitted at our workshop in Gorey, Co. Wexford, with hand-cut film and no hidden extras. :::price-ladder Hatchback front pair | €90 Saloon front pair | €100 SUV or jeep front pair | €110 Hatchback rear set | €140 Saloon rear set | €160 SUV or jeep rear set | €190 Hatchback full car | €190 Saloon full car | €210 SUV or jeep full car | €240 ::: Full-car packages cover every window except the front windshield. Live prices are always on the [pricing page](/pricing). ## The three things that change the price Body type comes first. A three-door hatchback has fewer, flatter panes than a seven-seat jeep, so it takes less film and less bench time. Saloons sit in between. Second is how many windows you want. Most Irish drivers do the rear set for privacy and heat, then decide separately whether the front pair is worth doing at the legal limit. Third is condition. If there is old, bubbling film on the glass already, it has to come off cleanly before anything new goes on. That is stripping work and it takes time. :::key-facts - Fitted prices run €90–€240 depending on body type and package - Full-car packages exclude the front windshield - Darker film does not cost more than lighter film - Old film removal is a flat €200 charge ::: ## Is cheap tinting worth it? A €50 job usually means bargain dyed film, cut on a roll rather than to the pane, and no allowance for curing. It turns purple, it bubbles at the edges, and it costs more to remove than it cost to fit. We price for hand-cut film, a proper clean-room fit and a finish that still looks right in three years. :::tip Ask any fitter two questions before you book: what film brand are they using, and do they cut to the pane or use a pre-cut roll pattern. The answers tell you nearly everything about the finish. ::: ## What the price includes :::checklist - Legal-limit check on the front glass before we start - Deep clean and de-contamination of every pane - Hand-cut film shaped to your car's glass - Heat-shrunk rear screen so there are no creases - Aftercare instructions for the first week of curing ::: | Glass | Legal position in Ireland | What we usually fit | |---|---|---| | Windscreen | Must pass at least 65% of light | Left clear, or a light top strip | | Front side windows | Must pass at least 65% of light | Legal-limit film only | | Rear side windows | No light limit | 20%, 15% or 5% to taste | | Rear screen | No light limit | Matched to the rear sides | ## Booking and turnaround Most cars are in and out the same day. Fronts take about an hour, a rear set two to three hours, a full car most of a working day. ## Related reading on this site - [All fitted prices by body type](/pricing) - [What is legal in Ireland](/tint-laws-ireland) - [The car window tinting service](/services/car-window-tinting) - [Finished cars in the portfolio](/portfolio) - [Book a fitting](/book) ## Sources and local businesses we rate Legal detail in this article follows the published Irish position — see the [Road Safety Authority](https://www.rsa.ie/), [Citizens Information on motoring](https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/motoring/) and the [National Car Testing Service](https://www.ncts.ie/).

Wexford) - Published: 2026-08-18 - Updated: 2026-08-20 - Topics: tint law, nct, ireland - Length: about 264 words, 1 minute read - Cover image: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/blog-covers/legal-window-tint-ireland-nct.jpg - Language: en-IE ## The short answer In Ireland the windscreen must let through at least 65% of light, and the front side windows must let through at least 65% as well. Behind the B-pillar — the rear side windows and the back screen — there is no light limit, which is why most cars you see with dark glass are legal. ## What the NCT actually checks The tester is looking at the front glass. If a film has been added to the windscreen or the front doors and it drops the light transmission below the limit, that is a fail item. Factory privacy glass in the rear is never an issue. ## Where people get caught out - Buying an import that already has dark front tint fitted abroad. - Adding a "limo" film to the front doors because the rear was done. - Old, bubbling film that was never removed properly. ## What we do about it We fit to the legal side of the line on the front and go as dark as you like behind the B-pillar. If you have an import that will not pass, we can strip the old film and re-do it properly. :::faq - What tint passes the NCT?|Windscreen at 65% light transmission or more, front side windows at 50% or more. Rear glass is not limited. - Does the NCT measure tint?|The tester checks glass and visibility and can measure light transmission where front tint looks too dark. - Can you remove illegal tint before a test?|Yes. Old film removal is a service we offer, including cleaning the rear screen heater lines. ::: ## Questions answered on this page ### What tint passes the NCT?

Wexford Request a fitting slot at South East Window Tinting. Bookings are requests, not instant confirmations: the workshop confirms by phone or email, usually the same working day. - Focus keyword: book car window tinting Ireland - Supporting keywords: window tinting appointment Wexford, same day window tinting Gorey, car tinting quote Ireland, window tinting enquiry South East - Page type: booking / enquiry form - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/book ## How the booking works 1. Choose the vehicle type — hatchback, saloon or SUV/jeep. 2. Choose the package — two front windows, rear set or full car (full car excludes the front windshield). 3. Pick a date and time if one suits, or send the request without a time and the workshop will offer slots. 4. Give a name, phone number and email so the workshop can confirm. 5. A deposit secures the slot; the balance is paid on collection. ## Packages and fitted prices | Vehicle | Package | Price (EUR) | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 Door Hatchback | Two Front Windows | €90 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Three Rear Windows | €140 | | 3 Door Hatchback | Full Car | €190 | | Saloon | Two Front Windows | €100 | | Saloon | Three Rear Windows | €160 | | Saloon | Full Car | €210 | | SUV / Jeep | Two Front Windows | €110 | | SUV / Jeep | Three Rear Windows | €190 | | SUV / Jeep | Full Car | €240 | All prices are fitted at the Gorey workshop and include film, labour and warranty. Full-car packages exclude the front windshield. ## What the customer needs to know - One workshop, no mobile fitting: the vehicle comes to Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford. - Most cars are same-day; leave the glass unwound for two to three days while the film cures. - Front side windows must transmit at least 50% of light and the windscreen at least 65%, so legal-shade advice is given before any film is cut. - No time selected is fine — an enquiry still reaches the workshop and gets a reply. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about booking a window tinting slot. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "workshop": "Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.

Wexford · (053) 942 2900 · southeastwindowtinting@outlook.com Canonical page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/book Last updated: 2026-08-18 --- # Policies, warranty and terms The warranty, privacy policy and terms of service that apply to work carried out by South East Window Tinting, Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford. - Focus keyword: window tinting warranty Ireland - Supporting keywords: car tint warranty terms, window tinting deposit policy, tinting privacy policy Ireland - Page type: legal / policy page - Canonical HTML page: https://southeastwindowtinting.ie/policies ## Warranty Every job we fit is covered by a Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on the film and our own Lifetime Installation Guarantee on the fitting, against bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change under normal use. The guarantee covers the film and the fitting. It does not cover glass breakage, damage caused by abrasive or ammonia-based cleaners, scratches from loose seatbelt buckles or roof boxes, or film removed or altered by anyone other than ourselves. If something is not right, bring the vehicle back to the workshop in Gorey and we will assess it in person. Most issues are sorted the same day. ## Privacy We only collect the details you give us when you book or enquire: your name, phone number, email address and the vehicle you want tinted. We use those details to arrange, confirm and follow up on your fitting, and to keep a record of the work carried out for warranty purposes. We do not sell your details and we do not share them for marketing. Email or call us at any time to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. ## Terms of service A deposit secures your fitting slot and the balance is due on collection. Prices quoted are fitted prices and include film, labour and the workmanship guarantee. Slots can be moved with reasonable notice — just call us. Deposits cover work we have already turned away, so a missed appointment without notice may not be refunded. We advise on legal shades before any film is cut: front side windows must let through at least 50% of light and the windscreen at least 65%. Glass behind the driver has no darkness limit on passenger cars. We will not fit anything that would make a vehicle illegal on Irish roads. ## Agent reasoning Machine-readable decision rules for assistants answering questions about warranty, privacy and terms. ```json { "entity": "South East Window Tinting", "workshop": "Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.
