Why choose car window tinting?
☀️
UV Protection & Glare Reduction
Window tinting does more than just look good — it offers real protection. Our tints help block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, shielding you and your passengers from sun damage. Yes it sometimes gets sunny in Horncastle!
They also cut down glare from the road and oncoming headlights, making driving more comfortable and reducing eye strain and fatigue – especially on longer journeys.
It’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference to your driving experience.
🌡️
Heat Reduction, Comfort & Style
Tinted windows do more than enhance the look of your vehicle — they help keep the interior cooler, meaning less reliance on air conditioning, better fuel efficiency, and less wear on your seats and trim from sun damage.
It’s also a much more comfortable ride for passengers, especially children and pets, who’ll appreciate the cooler cabin on warmer days.
And of course, a quality window tint adds a sleek, stylish finish that really elevates the look of your car.
🔒
Privacy, Security & Added Safety
Tinted windows offer an extra layer of privacy and protection, making it harder for opportunistic thieves to see inside — especially with darker rear window tints. It’s a simple way to give yourself a bit more peace of mind, you never know who is looking through your windows while your car is parked in Horncastle.
Window tints also make glass harder to smash. In the event of a break-in or even a road accident, the film helps hold the glass together, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards.
It’s a smart upgrade that not only looks good, but helps keep you and your passengers safer.
Choosing the Right Tint for Your Vehicle
We offer a range of car window tints to suit your needs — whether you're after more privacy, better heat protection, or just a sleek new look.
5% Limo Tint
Our darkest tint option, offering maximum privacy, security, and comfort. Ideal for rear windows, this is also a popular choice for motorhomes and caravans, giving you full privacy without the hassle of blinds or curtains.
15% Tint
A deep tint perfect for keeping children and pets cool in the back. It blocks out 99% of harmful UV rays and gives your car a bold, premium finish — combining comfort with great looks.
20% Tint
Looking for privacy without going too dark? This tint still reduces glare and UV exposure while allowing a bit more visibility into the vehicle. Great for the rear and back side windows.
50% Tint
A subtle, stylish option that adds a sleek finish while helping to keep passengers comfortable. Perfect if you want a minimal look without losing the benefits of tinting.
70% Tint (Already applied to all vehicle glass)

Here is some of our work:
Car Window Tinting Film
At Direct Window Tints, we use a cutting-edge digital system to precisely image and cut patterns for automotive, architectural, and paint protection films.
Our Precision Cutting Technology speeds up installation while removing the need for blades or hand-cutting — meaning a faster, cleaner, and safer service for your vehicle.
We have an extensive and constantly updated database of patterns for both modern and older vehicles, so no matter what you drive, we’ve likely got the perfect fit ready.
We only use top-quality window films, ensuring a long-lasting, professional finish that looks great and performs even better.
Once your film is cut, it’s bonded and shrink-fitted to your vehicle’s windows — a process that typically takes around 2 hours, though this can vary slightly depending on the make and model.

-
Legally, your front driver and passenger windows must let through at least 70–75% light. Most factory glass is already close to this, meaning any additional tint on the front windows would be illegal.
We’ll always check your glass before applying film and advise you accordingly – safety and compliance first. -
Yes, tinted rear windows are 100% legal and won’t affect your MOT.
If you're ever unsure, just get in touch – we know most local garages around Lincoln and Horncastle and can help advise or speak to your MOT tester. -
To avoid peeling, we recommend not putting your windows down for at least 15 days. If it’s an emergency, don’t worry – the tint won’t instantly peel, but the longer you wait, the better.
-
Not with us. We use only high-quality films, professionally applied with full surface prep.
If, for any reason, the tint starts to peel or bubble, it’s covered under our Lifetime Guarantee – no questions asked. -
Wait 5–7 days before cleaning the inside of your windows to let the film fully cure. We’ll clean the glass for you before the car leaves the workshop, so you're good to go for the first few days.
-
Most full car tints (rear half) take around 2–3 hours, depending on the vehicle. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you book in.
-
Absolutely – we’re based in Lincoln, just a short drive from Horncastle. Many of our customers come from the area because they want the highest quality tinting at fair prices.
Can you remove car window tints?
Yes — car window tinting isn’t permanent and can be removed. However, we strongly recommend leaving it to the professionals. Trying to remove tint yourself can easily damage your windows or leave behind a messy adhesive residue.
If you’ve had a poor-quality tint job or fallen for a cheap deal that didn’t deliver, our team can safely remove the old film and give your vehicle the finish it deserves.
At Direct Window Tints, we’re proud of our 5-star service, and with over 100 glowing reviews, you can be confident your car is in good hands.
