Window zones

Windscreen

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985 must let at least 75% of light through. Earlier vehicles must let at least 70% through.

Front side windows

The front side windows must let at least 70% of light through, regardless of the vehicle's age.

Rear side windows

There is no legal tint limit behind the front seats, so you can choose any shade from our range.

Rear screen

There is no legal tint limit for the rear windscreen, so it can match your chosen rear-side shade.

How we keep you legal

We fit to the law on the front of the car, and we will always tell you if a shade is not allowed. Enforcement is by police and DVSA roadside checks, which can lead to a prohibition notice.
