Window Tinting Legalities

When thinking about window tinting there is legislation in place, which defines the minimum level of light to pass through the front windscreen and front side windows.

The regulations state that the nearside and offside front door windows, for which the driver uses for forward vision and when using external rear facing mirrors, must permit a light transmittance value of at least 70%, with the front windscreen permitting a light transmittance value of 75%.

Factory fitted windows are already tinted and adding additional tinting may make the vehicle non compliant for road use. Further more, it is an offence to alter a vehicle so that the vehicle on the road would be unlawful.

More information can be found at www.gov.uk/tinted-vehicle-windows-rules.

The window tinting legalities are for your safety and ensures the driver can clearly see the road in all light conditions.

As a professional and reputable window tinting business at 1st Direct Tinting we always install window tinting which meets the legal requirements.
