About Ultra Tint
About Ultra Tint
Specialist window film advice and installation for residential, commercial and marine glass
Established on the Gold Coast in 1977, Ultra Tint is a window tinting business specialising in premium window film for homes, offices and commercial buildings.
We help homeowners, businesses, builders and vessel owners reduce heat, glare and UV exposure while improving privacy, comfort and the appearance of their glass.
Our work is built around one simple standard: recommend the right film for the glass, not just the easiest film to sell.
That means considering glass type, exposure, shading, appearance, thermal stress risk, performance and the way the space is actually used.

Marine Window TintingTechnical advice
Technical advice matters
Window tinting is not only about choosing how dark the glass should look.
The right film depends on the glass, the building, the exposure and the problem being solved. A film that works well on one window may be unsuitable for another window on the same property.
Before recommending a film, Ultra Tint considers:
- Glass type and condition
- Window size and shape
- Sun exposure and orientation
- Shading from eaves, trees, frames or surrounding structures
- Internal blinds, furnishings and heat buildup
- Desired heat, glare, privacy and appearance outcome
- Film performance data
- Thermal stress risk
- Long-term durability
This technical approach helps avoid poor film choices, disappointing performance and unnecessary risk.
If glass compatibility is part of the brief, read more about thermal stress and glass cracking.
Film knowledge
Premium film knowledge
Ultra Tint uses premium window film options, including 3M products, across residential, commercial and marine applications.
Film quality matters. Better films usually provide stronger performance, better optical clarity, longer life, better appearance and more reliable manufacturer support.
Kevin Humphreys has served as a former 3M Australia National Certified Trainer, which informs Ultra Tint's technical approach to selecting and installing film systems.
Cheap tinting often focuses on darkness and price. That is not enough.
A proper film recommendation should consider:
- Heat rejection
- Glare reduction
- UV protection
- Visible light transmission
- Reflectivity
- Absorption
- Appearance
- Glass compatibility
- Warranty suitability
The best film is not always the darkest film. It is the film that suits the glass and the result required.
Workmanship

Ultra Tint's work is backed by extensive industry experience, premium product knowledge and a 100% workmanship guarantee.

Positioning
Why Ultra Tint does not operate like a cheap tint shop
Cheap tinting usually starts with a price.
Ultra Tint starts with the glass, the problem and the correct film recommendation.
That difference matters because poor film selection can lead to:
- Disappointing heat rejection
- Excessive darkness
- Reduced visibility
- Poor appearance
- Early failure
- Increased thermal stress risk
- Warranty issues
- A result that does not suit the property or vessel
The lowest price is not always the lowest cost.

Different clients need different outcomes. Some need privacy. Some need heat reduction. Some need glare control. Some need a premium appearance without making the glass too dark.
The film recommendation should follow the outcome, not the other way around.
