This is a webpage about proffessional car window tinting aka black glass, aka privacy glass, aka one way glass. 'aka' = Also Known As
Shades Auto Tints is a company that is based in the West Midlands, UK. They carry out one of the most popular, in vogue and chic customizations that cars are experiencing at the moment...having their windows tinted up by their enthused owners.
There are many posative reasons for having your vehicles windows tinted and these include combating 99% of harmfull UV rays emitted from the sun. These solar rays are magnified by glass and may discolor and fade a cars interior and also may cause sun burn irritation to a greater or lesser degree. With the depleting ozone layer this is now more of a threat than ever before.
Windows tints also reduce the suns glare coming in from the side or rear windows and have a polarizing effect. This also reduces the effects that can cause migrains and headaches. My front side windows are also tinted, just over the legal limit...still safe and hardly detactable from the inside but it reduces the glare I get in my door mirrors of that annoying early morning sunlight.
Window tints also retain a cars natural cool interior termperature better and reflect the suns heat back, so that the "greenhouse effect" as depicted below...
...is vastly reduced in the car...
Windows tints actually do keep the interior of a car cool in the summer, not a gimmik but a fact.
There is also the security aspect of window tints in that having 95% dark, limo black window tints on the rear side and rear windows keeps inquisitive eyes out, specially if you accidentally leave anything of value on the seats, rear parcel shelf or just left in your hatchbacks trunk.
Parents will agree too, that their kids love sitting in the back of a car with the very dark Limo black glass effect. Kids are more inclined to actually be quiet and peer out of the windows more, knowing that they can't be seen from the outside...it gives a new sense of fun when traveling in Mum or Dads car.
I would also state that the atmosphere in the car has changed, it seams quieter and more tranquil, this is probably psychosematic but it is definately different, hard to explain but its there...whatever it is.
The cool looks and cool pro finish of Shades Auto Tints are just as guaranteed as the product itself that carries for life its promise never to fade, crack or distort over time. Its like giving your car a makeover like Britains Got Talent winner Susan Subo Boyle had on her "hairy angel" face..it makes wonders !
The tints that this company use are made in the USA by "SunTek" and are reportedly the best tints you can have applied to your car.
Tints are graded by the amount of light they stop entering a car. 95%, 75%, 50% etc. You cannot have the windshield tinted at all and your front side windows cannot have very dark tints. In the UK the legal limit is about 30% of light stopped allowing 70% of light through. You can go a bit darker without getting "pulled" but keep it sensible.
Of course when looking from the inside out, it looks as though there is only a very very light tint. This is because tinted glass works one way...dark from the outside - clear and light from the inside. Its also a myth that tints make driving at night dangerous, because as already stipulated...although its a bit darker inside the car the effect only realy works when looking in. Night driving with tints is fine if it wasnt then millions upon millions of drivers worldwide would not drive at night...but do. QED ! Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
The best part about having your windows tinted by Shades Auto Tints though is that their pricing structure is very competative at £150...all windows...all in. Hence my advocation of them on this webpage. The average cost is about £220 from many other places and Dodge fro example even charged £300
I have actually created this web page to focus on this company on personel reccomendations. So if your in the UK and fancy getting tinted up, then give them a call. It will be worth the trip for this excellent, while you wait, true custom-pro high street finish.
Go on...give your car sunglasses !
