Window tinting can change the appearance of a vehicle, reduce glare and solar heat, and add privacy for rear occupants and luggage.

The right film is not selected by colour alone. Visible-light transmission, UV performance, heat rejection, glass type and the vehicle's existing tint all influence the result.

Swiss road-traffic requirements limit which windows may be tinted and how much light they must transmit. Windscreens and front side windows are subject to stricter rules than rear glazing, and the installed film must remain within the approved specification.

Film quality and installation determine whether the finish remains clear and free from bubbles, contamination or lifted edges. The glass must be cleaned meticulously before fitting, and electronics, seals and trim need protection throughout the process.

Planning the tint as part of the vehicle

Shade and reflectivity should suit the paint colour, body style and intended level of privacy. A restrained film can look more integrated than the darkest available option.

Window tinting can be coordinated with polishing or paint protection, but each service remains a separate technical process. AVP can assess the vehicle and confirm the compliant options before booking.
