What Types Of Car Window Tinting Are Available?
Home » Aftermarket Car Parts » Tinted Car Windows » What Types Of Car Window Tinting Are Available?The windshield is the driver's primary means of viewing the road, so it is required that it remains untinted, except for a horizontal tint stripe at the top of the window. Regulations on the width of the strip vary, but are generally 4 to 6 inches from the top of the window. The strip may be made of semi-translucent film that partially blocks the sun's UV rays, or a matrix of black dots cemented to the glass. The matrix of black dots blocks bright sunlight, but generally does not protect against UV rays.
Side window tinting, if allowed by the individual state laws, usually involves the application of semi-translucent film to the inner pane of the glass. The chemical properties of the film determine the appearance of the finished car. Specific films can impart a particular color or a mirror like shine to the window.
