Window tint, in short.
Window tint is a thin film fitted to the inside of your car glass. The ceramic film we fit blocks heat and UV without any metal, so it keeps the cabin cooler and protects your skin and interior, with no effect on phone, GPS or key signals. At Apex Detail Studio in Al Quoz, Dubai, every film is cut and fitted in-house, on everything from daily drivers and EVs to SUVs and supercars.

Before you book.
Straight answers to what owners ask us about window tint in Dubai.
The price depends on the car, the windows you want done and the film you choose. Send your car details and the team will reply with a figure.
What is ceramic window tint?
Ceramic window tint is a thin film fitted to the inside of your car glass. Instead of metal, it uses ceramic particles to block heat and UV, so it keeps the cabin cooler and protects your skin and interior without affecting phone, GPS or key signals. It also holds its colour, so it will not fade or turn purple the way cheap dyed films do.
What tint percentage is legal in the UAE?
Under UAE rules as widely reported, private cars can have tint of up to 50% on the side and rear windows, and the front windscreen must stay clear. Going beyond the limit can lead to a fine. We help you pick a shade that looks right and stays within the rules.
How much does window tinting cost in Dubai?
Window tinting at Apex starts from AED 2,500 plus VAT. The final price depends on the car, the windows you want done and the film you choose. Send your car details on WhatsApp to +971 58 549 2739 and the team will reply with a figure.
Will window tint affect my phone, GPS or keyless entry?
No. Ceramic film has no metal in it, so phone signal, GPS, radio, toll tags and keyless entry all work as normal.
Does window tint really keep the car cooler?
Yes. Much of the heat you feel through the glass is infrared light. A ceramic film blocks a large share of it, so the cabin heats up more slowly, the air conditioning works less hard and the seats and dashboard stay cooler in the Dubai sun.
Can you tint the front windscreen?
Under UAE rules as widely reported, the front windscreen must stay clear. Talk to the team before choosing any film for the windscreen and we will explain what is allowed for your car.
How long does window tinting take?
Most cars are tinted in a few hours. Larger cars, glass roofs or removing old film can take longer. We confirm the timing when you book.
How should I look after new window tint?
Keep the windows rolled up for a few days while the film cures. Small water spots or haze in the first days are normal and clear as the film dries. After that, clean the glass with a soft cloth and a non-ammonia cleaner.
Will the tint bubble, peel or turn purple?
Quality ceramic film fitted properly should not bubble, peel or change colour. Purple, bubbling tint is usually a sign of cheap dyed film or a rushed fit. Every film we fit is cut and shaped by hand in our studio.
Do you tint EVs, glass roofs and sunroofs?
Yes. Teslas, Xiaomi and other EVs often have very large glass areas, including glass roofs, which let in a lot of heat. Tinting the roof glass makes a big difference to cabin comfort.
Can you remove old or damaged tint?
Yes. We remove old film and the adhesive left behind, clean the glass and fit new film. Tell us about the old tint when you ask for a quote so we can include the removal.
