Lisa Warner; What my story has taught me about success.

“Success doesn’t just come and find you, you have to go out and get it”.
I am often asked, why I am in the Window Tinting industry and how I got to where I am and the answer is quite simple, I knew from quite young age I was meant to follow the beat to my own drum, and I was never one to conform, I was the teenager sneaking out the bedroom window. I ended up leaving home and school at 15 and began following a bumpy path until I delved deeply into a Medical Receptionist traineeship role.
I was also the semi-serious girl who although would party and stay up with rest of them to the wee hours as a teenager and in my early 20’s, I was always the one making sure everyone was OK, so working in the medical industry was not a massive leap from my nature.
I am lucky and thankful to have met Truman at a stage of my life where I was looking for an adventure and something to challenge myself, Truman allowed me the ability to grow and achieve what I never thought was possible.  
We had both seen some dodgy actions by the other tint shops Truman was working for, so we decided to venture out and do our own thing, but promised each other to always bring the core value of integrity to our business daily.
In the years that have followed, we have been able to build a successful business around his passion, amazing talent and work ethic, which in turn lit a deep passion of my own, I have gone on to study marketing and social media further lighting that passion.
I come across people with many of the same concerns, they are either too hot in their vehicle or home, worried about cancer causing UV Rays or safety for their families, I am fortunate to be aligned with an amazing film manufacturer Hanita, who with their products allow my team to give the best to our clients, their films have great warranties and are always developing better technologies.  My clients know when they come to me they are going to get a great product and service.
I am a strong believer in the customer experience, and ensure all our staff are trained to keep our core values and customers at the forefront.  It is the best part of my day when I hear a great review or feedback about one of my staff members.
Success to me, is something I wake up each day and live, I have the freedom to work my own hours, the freedom to make choices, the freedom to delegate my workload and financial freedom.
If you would like to chat further about success over a coffee or experience the coolness of Window Tinting feel free to call 0426298037.

3 Tips to maintain your Car Door Magnets



Car Door Magnets

:Tip: Remove your car door magnets every week and wash with a gentle soap .

I know some of my fellow business owners, and the customers I have supplied magnets for, forget sometimes that although yes using removal magnets for vehicle advertising is a cheap and effective form of advertising however there is there is a major pitfall that no one tells you about, THEY BREAKDOWN AND MELT TO YOUR VEHICLE!!!

So I'm going to tell you a couple ways to avoid it.

Firstly and the most effective way to avoid the breakdown of your door Magnets is to remove the magnets weekly preferably but no longer than every two week and wash the magnets with a light soapy water.  (dishwashing liquid is fine to use on your vehicle)

Secondly put some vinyl wrap behind the magnet (magnet will still work)to stop it from sticking to the car as the magnet breaks down, however although effective you should still pull it off
regularly to make sure there is no discolouration on the paint surface especially during wet
weather, if some water gets trapped behind the sign it will boil on the car and can sometimes stain the paint.

And thirdly my favourite way is if you know exactly where the sign is staying lay some quality vinyl (use Brands Such as 3M and Avery) down onto the car it will protect the painted surface and you can remove it without damaging the paint at all.  I recommend watching a Youtube video on how to lay down the vinyl without causing bubbles or employ an experienced installer, my business charges approx $20 for installation.

I hope you have enjoyed this TIP - Car Door Magnets

Window Tinting Not Just for Cars
Lisa Warner heard far too many horror stories from her partner Truman's workplace, that she decided to start their own Window Tinting business with the main focus on customer service and integrity, something she felt was truly lacking in other tint shops. 
 While pregnant with their first Child and being ordered to bed rest, Lisa used this time to research the market, find the best film suppliers and come up with the all important name Trublutint, named to represent her partner Truman, his favourite colour blue and of course what they did. 
The business began primarily marketing to car owners but soon shifted to include homes and commerical propeties, with many add-on services included in the business structure. 

“I wanted to make Trublutint the go to business for all things Window Tinting and After-market for your car, I am incredibly proud of the business we have built and cannot wait to see what the next 5 years is going to bring us.  Hardwork, sweat and some tears has certainly played a major roll in our business as we maintained our intregrity throughout the years“  - Lisa Warner, Owner Trublutint

A standard sedan Window Tint costs between $249-$449, there is no "standard" sized home however prices from $59 a square meter.

Trublutint Window Tinting


Home Window Tinting Or Commercial Tint

Car window tinting can help keep you and your car cool by tinting the windows for looks or UV performance. As well as car window tinting, Trublutint Window Tinting provide window tinting for home and office as well. Makes finding local window tinting easy, helping you find what is best for your vehicle, home, or business. Trublutint Window Tinting is the premiere window and car tinting business for commercial, residential and auto window tints. The more windows there are in your home or building, the greater the benefits of installing window film. Security window tinting film is much stronger than the popular solar window tinting film utilized on cars, house or office.

Energy Saving Window Films

Window films can save you money and the environment by making your home more energy efficient. With energy controlled window films up to 79% of solar energy is blocked from entering the home or office. With window films you can increase your energy efficiency, improve your environment while lowering cooling costs, and maintain a more comfortable and productive area. The less energy you need to cool and heat your home means a smaller energy bill. Glass tinting for your home or office is one of the best ways to reduce energy expenses. You can reduce the heat in your home, office substantially.

Stained Glass Effect Window Film

A variety of window films and security window film and safety window films are available to hold glass together in the case of a break in. Window film binds the window together, so in the case of an accident it will actually hold most of the glass intact, even if the window shatters. Exterior window film, for the most part, looks and feels the same as interior window film. Armorcoat window films help to hold window glass in place, if shattered. Most window films are applied to the inside glass surface of a window. In cases where the window glass surface has a curvature, there is a need for extreme care to mate the flat surface of the film with the window glass successfully.

Security And Safety Window Films

One of the most common usage of window films is to add privacy. Whether your purpose is privacy, style or both, their decorative films have you covered. Decorative window films can add a personal input to privacy and style. Privacy may be important to you and window films allowed you to block off unwanted view and offers privacy. You can have privacy, and still have a view of the rest of the world. Privacy film for flat-glass commercial and residential applications may be silvered, offering an unimpeded view from the low-light side but virtually no view from the high-light side.

Simple Clear Privacy Decorative Window Film

Simple clear privacy decorative window film can add privacy to any window or piece of glass in your home. A beautiful alternative to blinds for privacy, see Decorative Films, Trublutint provides decorative window film, stained glass window film, window privacy film, and frosted glass films. Whether you are looking for decorative window film, security window film, window privacy films or another application there are numerous benefits to enjoy.

Trublutint Window Tinting offers a variety of decorative window films, frosted window films, privacy window films and one way window films for your home or office. A beautiful alternative to blinds for privacy.

Stained Or Frosted Glass Windows

Film on frosted glass is a fraction of the cost of actual sandblasted frosted glass. There are films made to look like professional glass etchings, stained glass windows, frosted glass and much more. Frosted glass and etched glass can be very expensive and impractical to use. Decorative window film is less expensive than frosted, etched or stained glass. You may try out stained glass effect window film if you like stained glass and colored glass design. Even if you prefer to use frosted glass film design, you can still choose many patterns that create etched glass effect.

Self Adhesive Window Films

Artscape films are easily applied to any smooth glass surface. Adhesive-free window films are by far the more convenient one as it can easily stick to glass surface and easy to remove when it is time to redecorate. There are two basic types of decorative films, adhesive-based polyester films, and adhesive-free static-vinyl films. Adhesive films are the more difficult of the two types to install and are best applied by an experienced window film installer. There are some significant drawbacks to static cling decorative window film compared to conventional DIY window tinting films. To remove the glass film, you just need to peel off the glass film.

A Fraction Of The Cost Of Etched Glass

Decorative films are applied to glass creating a beautiful etched glass appearance without the etched glass cost. Decorative films are a cost effective, versatile alternative to the traditional method of acid etched patterned glass. Light is dispersed softly, rendering a tranquil atmosphere, which reproduces a beautiful etched-glass appearance not typically found in window films. The window stays put, and just the film is replaced, at a fraction of the cost. Decorative window films can provide the same look as expensive etched glass at a fraction of the cost of laminated panels, patterned or sand blasted glass. Etched glass just adds originality to your home, but etched glass can be expensive and hard to find.

Varying Levels Of Privacy And Light Reduction

Decorative Window Film provides privacy while allowing natural light to enter the room. Skylights are designed to let in natural light and to give an open feel to a room, but too much sun can make the space uncomfortably bright and hot. Frosted privacy film is translucent, meaning light will still enter in the daytime, but from the outside no one will see in. Decorative window film lets in light while still offering privacy. Ideal for almost any application, frosted window film ensures privacy without sacrificing natural light. Depending upon the decorative pattern chosen, window film may provide total 24-hour privacy, or semi-privacy, allowing you to see out while obscuring views in.

Automotive Window Tinting And Film Application

Home window tinting adds sun control and privacy to your home without sacrificing style.
