Why tint windows?
We can think of so many reasons as to why tinting the windows of your car is a great idea, but we’ve summarised our top 4 below:
Style
30% of your vehicle is glass, so there's no denying that adding window tints can completely change the appearance of your car, making it look much sharper. So, if image is important to you, this is a great way to customise your car while also adding safety and comfort to your ride at the same time.
Comfort
Tinted windows can greatly improve your driving experience by reducing frustrating and distracting glare, as well as keeping your car cooler on even on the sunniest of days. Passengers in the back seat such as kids or pets will also be a lot more comfortable, especially as windows in the rear can be tinted darker. A great side effect of preventing the car from overheating is that it will also reduce your A/C use, making your drives more energy efficient.
Protection
Sunlight beaming through your windscreen can expose you to high levels of UV rays, which are harmful for our skin and can even cause cancer. All shades of tint, even clear film, can act as a buffer between you and the sun and can therefore drastically reduce the risks posed by UV exposure. Not to mention that the sun is hard on your car's interior, so window tints can also greatly reduce the discoloration of your upholstery.
Security
The safety benefits of tinted windows are significant, as the film will keep the glass from shattering if it is hit by an object. This means that in the event of an accident or if a thief smashes the window, any broken shards are held together by the sticky film layer, making it much harder to break into your vehicle, and protects from flying glass during a collision. Window tinting is also a great way to add privacy, as it makes it harder for prying eyes to see into your vehicle from outside.

legal limits
At AKtints Ltd, we take safety and legality seriously. If you're considering tinting your vehicle's windows, it's essential to understand what the UK law allows — especially for front windows.​
​
Front Windshield- 75%
Front Side Windows- 70%
Rear Windows- No restrictions.
​
Most factory glass already has a slight tint — so even a light aftermarket film on the front windows can push you below the legal limit. At AKtints, we test all tints with a professional meter to ensure you're fully road-legal.
