Clear. How your car arrives. Standard factory glass with no film applied.
50% light tint. Reduces heat and glare inside the car without darkening the look. You can still see clearly through the glass.
30% medium tint. A balance of privacy and UV protection that still lets plenty of light in. You can still see into the vehicle.
20% factory tint. The most common choice. Matches the factory privacy glass look with good UV protection.
5% limo tint. The darkest shade, for maximum privacy and UV protection on your rear windows.
5% limo is our most popular shade in Durham and across the North East. Still not sure? Pop in and we'll hold each shade against your own glass before we fit.

Real reviews from real customers, word for word. Here is what people say after their tint.
"Utopia tints sorted out the privacy glass on my 3 series. The friendly staff went through the options and pricing then booked me in. On the day the job only took 1.5 hours. Now I'm not worried about leaving stuff in the boot and the baby is shaded from the sun. I think it looks cool now too!"
"Excellent service from the outset. Easy to arrange what I wanted and to book in. The tints took less than an hour and look fantastic."
"Totally transformed the car, absolute fab job. Over the moon with it. Hope the tints last as long on my Type R as they have on the Astra they did about 8 years ago. Still looking as good as ever."
"Recently had window tinting applied to the tailgate of our converted new Transporter T7. Good communication from start to finish and would recommend."
"I have a big 7 seat Alhambra and I didn't give them an easy job with the position of my crash tested dog cage. They're a set of really nice people, from reception to the lads in the workshop. If you're hesitant about making a booking, don't be. I can't fault any part of the service or the completed work."
"Excellent service and excellent staff. Rear windows tinted. Truly a very professional service. Would highly recommend to use Utopia services."

Window tinting and the law, made simple.
Worried about what you can legally do? Here is exactly what UK law allows, and where you are free to go as dark as you like. Use the buttons below the car.
Rear windows
No legal limitEvery window behind the front doors, both rear sides and the rear windscreen, has no legal limit. Go as dark as you like, right down to 5 percent limo black for full privacy.
What we do: this is where most of our work goes. Pick any shade and we match it across all your rear glass for one clean finish.
Front side windows
Must let 70% of light throughThe driver and front passenger windows must let at least 70 percent of light through. A light, factory style tint is the legal maximum here.
What we do: we only ever fit a road legal tint to your fronts, so you always pass a roadside check.
Front windscreen
Must let 75% of light throughThe front windscreen must let at least 75 percent of light through. Most owners add only a light sun strip across the very top.
What we do: we keep your windscreen fully road legal, so it never causes you a problem.
Why it matters. Fit illegal front tint and you risk an on the spot penalty, a prohibition notice ordering you to remove it, and a fresh bill to take it back off. We never fit illegal front tint, so that is never your worry.
Limits apply to the front glass on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985. Cars registered before then follow a 70 percent limit on the front windscreen and front side windows.
