WINDOW TINTING
Why It’s Worth It:
Window tinting offers both functional and aesthetic benefits. By reducing heat and UV exposure, it protects both the driver and the vehicle interior. At the same time, it provides added privacy and a clean, refined look. High-quality tint films also improve safety by strengthening the glass and holding it together in the event of damage.
What It Does:
-
Reduces Heat Build-Up – Blocks infrared heat, keeping the cabin cooler and more comfortable.
-
UV Protection – Filters out up to 99% of harmful UV rays to prevent interior fading and protect occupants’ skin.
-
Increased Privacy – Deters prying eyes and protects valuables inside the vehicle.
-
Glare Reduction – Improves driving comfort by reducing glare from the sun and headlights.
-
Enhanced Style – Gives your vehicle a sleek, uniform, and premium appearance.
UK REGULATIONS
The rules for tinted front windscreens and front side windows depend on when the vehicle was first used. There are no rules for tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows.
Vehicles first used on 1 April 1985 or later
The front windscreen must let at least 75% of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70% of light through.
Vehicles first used before 1 April 1985
The front windscreen and front side windows must both let at least 70% of light through.
It’s illegal to fit or sell glass (or a vehicle already fitted with glass) that breaks the rules on tinted windows.
