Bristol Mobile Window Tinting

UV Protection

Window film serves as a safeguard, shielding both you and your vehicle from the detrimental effects of the sun. Given the ongoing depletion of the ozone layer, dermatologists caution against excessive exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. While sunglasses and sunscreen offer protection when you’re on the go, window film plays a crucial role in safeguarding you, your family, and your car’s interior while you’re inside your vehicle. Our high-quality film is engineered to block 99% of the sun’s UV rays. The sun’s UV rays can often cause fading in car upholstery, carpets, and plastic components, but the installation of window film can significantly mitigate this effect.

Heat Protection

Excessive heat inside a car is not just uncomfortable but can pose potential hazards. With the ongoing depletion of the ozone layer and advancements in technology, many new vehicles now come equipped with air conditioning. While air conditioning or climate control is undoubtedly advantageous, it does draw power from the engine, leading to increased fuel consumption and impacting your wallet at the gas station. Window film plays a vital role in curbing the rise in in-car temperature caused by the sun’s rays, thus maintaining a cooler interior environment. This is particularly beneficial for our furry companions who often find themselves outside the direct reach of the air conditioning’s cooling breeze.

Safety

In case of an accident, window film acts as a barrier, keeping the glass intact and preventing it from shattering into the eyes and skin of the vehicle’s occupants. Even in relatively minor accidents, passengers can avoid unnecessary injuries caused by flying glass.

Security

In addition to concealing any valuable items you may have left in your car from potential thieves, window film significantly enhances the window’s strength. Even if an intruder manages to break the glass, they still have to contend with the film, which is remarkably more robust than one might expect. For those seeking an exceptionally high level of security, we offer Security Film that can be completely transparent. This specialised film boasts extreme strength, making it nearly impervious to attempts by thieves. Given its formidable barrier, all but the most determined criminals are likely to abandon their efforts and seek easier targets. Common car thieves are well aware that window film can be a hindrance, which is why they often move on to more vulnerable vehicles.

We can also install this film in government vehicles, including those used by the police, ambulance services, and local councils, among others.

The Law & Tinting

Due to a minority of drivers applying excessively dark tinting to their car’s front windows, the government has taken action in the interest of road safety. This move came in response to a tragic incident involving a heavily tinted car and a motorcyclist, where the tinting was held responsible for impairing the driver’s vision, ultimately leading to the accident.

Starting in January 2004, Section 32 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations was amended to address ‘Window Tint Films.’ These regulations pertain to materials that restrict the Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of the forward windows. The level of tinting is now restricted to films that allow more than 70% VLT. Consequently, this effectively bans most tinted films on the front windows of cars. However, windows situated behind the driver’s seat, specifically behind the B-Post, remain unaffected. Safety and Security films, which are clear, are exempt from these regulations.
