Elegant on the outside, comfortable on the inside: tinted windows give the car an impressive look, while in the interior they protect the driver and passengers from the blinding sunlight and heat. In addition, the tint can be an effective burglary protection, because it obscures the view of valuables in the parked car and protects the disc against shocks. Sounds good! However, there are certain limitations in tinting, which is why you should think about a so-called wave-disk tinting. What advantage it has, we explain to you below.
Tip: How to remove tint film – CLICK!
Windows are allowed in the field of vision of the driver not pasted will
If you're thinking about tinting your car windows with slides, you should pay particular attention to the fact that legislators in Germany have defined strict rules for them. The most important thing is that you are not allowed to stick foils in the driver's field of vision. The windscreen is taboo even for transparent films, as it can cover the field of view if damaged. Gluing the side windows between the A and B pillars is only allowed in a very limited area.
Therefore, caution is required: The fine for incorrectly applied tinting foils can be up to 90 Euro and one point in Flensburg in a severe case. And of course you have to remove the slides when the police have taken offense. The described legal situation means in plain text: Only a little more than half of the discs should be tinted. This not only adversely affects the look of your car, but also the effect of the films for the interior.
The Wave lens tint covers a larger area
So that car enthusiasts comply with the legal requirements for tinting windows, but at the same time can cover the maximum area of their windows with films, there are films in the so-called "Wave Edition". Wave tinted films have a parabola-shaped transparent cut-out that extends into the top and bottom of the front side windows. Since the surface of the front side window may be covered up to a maximum of 0,1 m² in the non-visible area, this form is legal. The cutout extends to the rear side window, expanding the driver's field of vision.
With a little imagination, the look is reminiscent of a wave. So, with the Wave window tint, you'll be on the safe side next time you're stopped by the police, while still getting the best possible effect of a window tint on your car. Wave foils are worth considering, especially for sporty car tuners, because they give the car a sporty appearance. You can order them from specialist retailers and from well-known film manufacturers such as CFC (Cutline Thermatec Wave Edition). However, here too the information condensate this disc tinting could be banned. So ask the TÜV better.
Of course that had not happened yet!
