Car window tinting in Arklow
Arklow is twenty minutes up the M11 — the nearest sizeable town to the unit outside Gorey itself.
Twenty minutes on the motorway is closer than most Arklow drivers will get to any other professional tinter, and it is an easy run either side of a work day.
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.
