Car tinting is not just an aesthetic solution, but also an important aspect of safety and comfort. In 2024, tinting technology continues to improve, offering more and more benefits to car owners. Here are seven reasons why you should consider car tinting this year.
1. Protection against ultraviolet rays (UV)
Modern tinting films can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation has a negative impact not only on human health (e.g. increases the risk of skin cancer), but also on the condition of the car interior. A car protected by tinting retains its brightness for longer and does not burn out.
2. Reducing the temperature in the vehicle interior
Tinted windows significantly reduce heating of the car interior from sun rays, especially in summer. Thanks to this, the air conditioning is less stressed and therefore fuel consumption is reduced. In hot weather, quality tinting can be a key factor in travelling comfort.
3. Protection of personal life and property
Tinting provides additional privacy by preventing prying eyes. This is especially true if valuables are left in the car. There is less chance of attracting the attention of intruders. In an urban environment where the security of personal data and property is becoming increasingly important, tinting is an easy way to protect yourself.
4. Improving the appearance of the vehicle
Tinted windows give your car a stylish and modern look. In 2024, a wide range of films are available, from dark shades to specialised films with a reflective or even mirror effect. This approach helps to emphasise the car’s individuality and stand out on the road.
5. Reducing glare and improving visibility
Tinting can reduce glare from the sun and the headlights of oncoming vehicles, which increases safety on the road. This is especially important in bright sunlight and when travelling at night. Less glare reduces eye strain and helps you concentrate better on driving.
6. Increasing the strength of glasses
Many modern tinting films have the additional function of reinforcing the glass. In the event of an accident or impact, the film prevents glass shards from flying, which can significantly reduce the risk of injury to the driver and passengers. This makes tinting an important element of the overall vehicle safety system.
7. Fuel and resource savings
Reducing interior temperature through tinting helps to reduce the use of air conditioning, which in turn reduces energy and fuel consumption. Especially in cities with hot climates, tinting can be a cost-saving factor, which is important in the face of rising fuel prices.
Car tinting regulations in Latvia
When tinting a car, it is important to comply with all established regulations. Latvia has strict rules concerning different parts of the windows. It is forbidden to cover the windscreen completely with film, except for its upper part, which can be tinted by 5-7 cm, depending on the car model. It is also necessary that the light transmission of the front door windows is not less than 70%, while the rear windows can be tinted without restrictions. When choosing a film, it is important to take into account that many windows already have basic tinting from the manufacturer, and this affects the final result.
Time of work execution
The speed of tinting depends on the type of car and the level of darkening that the car owner wants. On average, the process takes several hours. Professional craftsmen strive to minimise possible inconvenience by performing the work quickly and efficiently so that you can return to using your car as soon as possible.
