Types of window tinting
If, at the time you bought your vehicle, you did not consider adding approved tinted windows, you should know that it is not too late. This window tinting can be done comfortably afterwards at an approved workshop — otherwise you will not pass the MOT (ITV) and could be fined.
The material of the laminate is key to avoiding problems both with the MOT and with deterioration. In these cases, going for the cheapest option will turn out to be expensive in the long run. It is worth ensuring the quality of the product; be wary of bargains and get advice from the best specialists such as Ralarsa. Their installation is done by hand, and experience is a key factor in your choice.
There are also different levels of tint darkness, and you can choose whichever you like from a variety.
What must you bring when passing the MOT?
Today, regulations require that each car having its windows tinted must have the corresponding technical data sheet, which must be presented when undergoing the inspection.
Thus, at the MOT you must present the approval certificate issued by the manufacturer of the tinted films, which must be provided by the Ralarsa workshop where you had your car windows tinted.
In addition, you must have the stamp on all windows that have undergone the treatment, and if you do not meet all these conditions, you will not pass the MOT and will have to remove them.
Discover the advantages of window tinting
Filtering UVA rays and protection, especially for our children. Having approved tinted windows, thanks to the special treatment they possess, protects our skin from UVA rays as they filter their harmful effect on the skin. Many parents choose tinting precisely to protect their children from the sun.
Anti‑glare. Thanks to this type of tinting on your car windows, you will avoid glare from other cars that have their full headlights on.
Heat reduction. By filtering sunlight, whether your car is parked or you are driving under the hot sun, tinted windows will help prevent the interior from reaching such high temperatures.
Reduced consumption. As stated by the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), choosing to tint your windows allows for better use of the air conditioning, since by preventing the interior from heating up you will need to use less power from the A/C and therefore reduce its energy consumption.
Aesthetic appeal. Many people also like the aesthetic result of a tinted vehicle.
