For shops
No exclusivity clause. Keep the brand you run.
Add HAUT next to whatever is already on your shelf and decide with your own hands. Film, the pattern software that cuts it, certification for the people installing it, and a warranty your customer registers themselves — with terms written down instead of promised by a rep.

The terms
The four things shops get burned on, answered before you ask
None of this is in a rep's pocket. It is how the dealer relationship is written, and you can read it before you spend a minute on an application.
You do not have to drop your current brand
There is no exclusivity requirement, on film or on anything else. Run HAUT next to what you already stock, put both on the same car if you want, and move as your own hands tell you to. Nothing about your warranty, your pricing or your certification depends on what else is on your shelf.
We will not undercut you
A member of the public can buy film, kits and supplies from us — at retail, which is deliberately well above what you pay and above what the job costs installed at a certified shop. We are not interested in winning a car you quoted. The customer who does the arithmetic ends up in your bay, which is the point.
Your territory is a number, not a promise
One certified shop per 250,000 residents inside your drive time, never two of us within 8 miles, and 60 days' written notice before we appoint anybody else in your area. The rule is below, and it is in your dealer terms — not in a rep's pocket.
Nothing is held hostage
The warranty is tied to the film being installed correctly — never to how much you bought this quarter or what coating you use. No spend minimum decides whether your shop appears on the locator; certification does.
Our own bay is in the count
We install film ourselves, at one studio in Hackensack, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on the page where we promise you a territory. That studio occupies a slot in the rule below exactly as a certified shop does — it is counted, not exempt. If we ever open another, the rule that governs a second dealer governs it identically: never inside a certified shop's territory.
Territory
One certified shop per 250,000 people
Measured by drive time rather than by a radius, because a radius protects nobody in a city and everybody in a county. Whichever rule binds first in your area is the one that applies.
15-minute drive time
Urban core — over 10,000 people per square mile
Manhattan, Brooklyn, central Chicago, San Francisco
One certified shop per 250,000 residents inside it
20-minute drive time
Suburban — 1,000 to 10,000 per square mile
Bergen County NJ, most of any US metro
One certified shop per 250,000 residents inside it
30-minute drive time
Small city and exurban — 200 to 1,000 per square mile
A county seat and the towns around it
One certified shop per 250,000 residents inside it
25-mile radius
Rural — under 200 per square mile
Anywhere the population cap would never be reached
One certified shop, regardless of population
- Never two certified HAUT shops within 8 miles of each other, whatever the population says.
- 60 days' written notice before we appoint a second shop inside your territory — and you get first refusal on the volume.
- Our own studio in Hackensack occupies a slot in this rule rather than sitting outside it, and any studio we open later is governed by the same rule as a second dealer — never inside a certified shop's territory.
- Register the car dealerships you service and we will not solicit them. Any inbound enquiry from one of them comes back to you.
- All of the above lives in your dealer terms. If a person here says something on a call that is not in there, it is not a term — ask us to write it down.

What you get
Four things, and they are meant to work together
Most film brands sell you a roll and leave the pattern, the training and the warranty as your problem. All four of these come with the account.
Film you can sell on numbers
Thickness, light transmittance, tensile strength, elongation, peel adhesion and bulk hardness — each with the ASTM method beside it, on a public page you can send a customer mid-quote. It is a great deal easier to defend a price against a specification than against an adjective.
Patterns that come from the same place as the film
CUT CORE holds 2,500+ vehicles across 115+ makes and 1,000+ models, growing every week. Every certified shop cuts from the same library, which is what lets a quote be priced against the real cut rather than an estimate.
Certification that means something specific
It is the condition on the warranty. Your team is trained on the film they are installing, the job is logged, and the coverage attaches to your work — which is a sales argument as much as a technical one.
Sales support behind the counter
Marketing assets and co-branding for shops that want them, so a HAUT job is presentable in your own window and on your own feed rather than only in our photography. Territory is discussed case by case when you apply — we would rather have that conversation than print a promise on a web page.
A warranty that closes rather than complicates
Ten years against cracking, delamination and blistering, registered by the vehicle owner online in about two minutes. Nothing to file, nothing to chase, and the record is on the vehicle when a claim arrives.

True-shape nesting packs a scattered 83.5-inch layout into 21.6 inches of a 60-inch roll. Output is pure HP-GL, so force, speed and blade offset stay exactly where you set them on the machine.

The line
One supplier for every job in the bay
Clear film for protection, color film for a change of finish, interior film for trim and screens, roof film for panoramic glass. Where a property has not been measured on a film, the cell is empty rather than filled in.

An em-dash means we have not measured that property on that film yet, not that it performs badly. Values shown as “≥” are guaranteed minimums from a released data sheet; values shown as “up to” are the highest recorded across tested lots. Those are different kinds of number and comparing them directly will mislead you. Values are from the technical data sheet for each film. Testing is carried out at the production line to the standards listed — national methods that are adoptions of the ISO standards named on the test-methods page. Where an ASTM method is equivalent it is given there for reference; no value on this site has been re-run to ASTM, and we do not print an ASTM code as though it had been. Where a film has no measured value for a property, the row is left out rather than filled in.
Certification
Trained on the film they are installing
The course is built on HAUT's own production archive rather than on a slide deck.
- 500+
- Recorded work sessions April 2024 – February 2025
- 20+
- Complete vehicle projects Filmed in 4K, installer's POV
- 10 yr
- Warranty attaches to certified work The reason certification exists
Course length, group size, intake dates and price are still being finalized — the training page routes those questions to a person rather than guessing at an answer on your behalf.
Certification is not a badge. It is the condition on the warranty — which is why it is the part of this that a customer can check.
Why every HAUT install is logged
Applying
Four steps, and a person at every one
- 01
Download the software and apply in it
On the become-a-dealer page, or on the first screen of CUT CORE if you run a plotter — it installs without an account. Shop details, where you install, what you run today. No fee, no card, no credit check.
- 02
A person reads it
Usually within two business days. If something does not fit, you get told what and why rather than silence.
- 03
Approval and invitation code
The code arrives by email. Enter it in the app and the shop account is live — dealer pricing on film, CUT CORE and the pattern libraries attached.
- 04
Certification, then live
Your installers are certified on the film, and from that point the warranty attaches to your work.
The record
Why a new brand is worth a shot
We opened for open sale in 2026, so we cannot hand you twenty years of history. What we can hand you is what the film did in six years of customer cars before we sold it, and what stands behind it now.
- 6 yr
- In a closed test network before open sale 2020–2025
- 500+
- Recorded work sessions in the training archive 20+ vehicle projects
- 2,500+
- Vehicles in the CUT CORE pattern library 115+ makes
- 5
- ASTM methods published beside our values D6988 · D1003 · D882 · D3330 · D2240
Open sales in the United States began in January 2026, starting in New Jersey. Every film carries the same 10-year limited warranty, and only a certified shop’s work carries it.
