Tinting car windows: in which ones is it allowed?

Enjoying driving involves several aspects, and on some occasions, these will depend on the user. One of the most popular, however, is window tinting.

Window tinting on your car glass

According to the established traffic regulations, every window must allow and ensure clear visibility for the driver. Thus, it is only possible to tint car windows from the B-pillar backwards. These windows are, in other words, those further away from the direct field of vision of the driver. That is, the windows of the rear doors and the rear windscreen.

Some of the benefits of window tinting are that these films block more than 95% of ultraviolet rays, so the interior of the car will maintain a cooler environment. With this, you will be able to reduce the use of air conditioning.

Likewise, the deterioration of the upholstery and colour of the car will be reduced by tinted windows. The occupants of the vehicle will also be much more protected, as well as enjoying greater privacy both for the passengers and for their belongings. And, in the event of an accident, the adhesive film applied for approved tinted windows will cause glass fragments not to be projected outwards, thus preventing personal injuries to the occupants of the car.

Considering the advantages of tinting car windows, it is common for many car owners to opt for it. Although the truth is that currently the vast majority of models already incorporate approved tinted windows.

Window tinting process

Apart from what we have mentioned so far, one of the reasons why more and more people are opting for a car with tinted windows is the speed of its installation process. The first thing to bear in mind is the need to have a specialised team capable of carrying it out properly.

The first thing they will do is remove objects that could be an impediment to placing the films. Once done, the glass to be tinted will be cleaned, both inside and outside, carefully. Measurements will be taken for each window so that the film occupies the necessary space.

The film can now be placed, carefully and trying to avoid folds, wrinkles, or bubbles. If there are any imperfections, heat will be applied, and they will be removed with the help of a special rubber spatula for these actions. Before letting it dry, the excess pieces of film must be trimmed.
