Windscreen Sunstrips
At our Glasgow workshop, many of our customers enquire about windscreen tinting for thier cars. Simply put, window tinting a windscreen is illegal in the UK and as such we will not tint a windscreen on any car or vehicle. The law in regards to car window tinting states that windscreens must allow 75% of visible light to travel through the glass. The fact is that ALL windscreens in the UK already meet this target and can not be tinted any further.
That said, we are still able to fit a tinted sunstrip to your car. A sunstrip is a band (or strip) of window tint fitted to the top of your windscreen spanning from one side to the other. There is no clear rule in the window tinting laws regarding how far down the screen a sunstrip is allowed to go, however, we will advise what we think may be best for each model if you require.
A tinted sunstrip has some advantages. A Sunstrip helps block the sun from getting into your eyes and also helps to reduce glare on the windscreen. They can also add a nice finish to your car when having car window tints installed on the rest of the car. Another aspect to tinted sunstrips is that they can make really large windscreens look smaller, which many of our customer's have asked for.
