Do Privacy Glass Windows Still Require Tinting Film?
2 Answers
Privacy glass windows still require tinting film as it can block ultraviolet rays. Below are relevant details about automotive window tinting: Explosion-proof function: In the event of an accident, windows with tinting film will keep shattered glass adhered together, preventing glass fragments from scattering, thereby protecting vehicle occupants. Thermal insulation: High-quality automotive window films provide thermal insulation effects. During summer, they effectively control interior temperature rise, while in winter, they suppress heat dissipation, maintaining cabin temperature and creating a comfortable driving environment. Reduced light transmittance: Automotive window films have light transmittance below 90%. Particularly when applied to windshields, reduced light transmittance may compromise driving safety.
Privacy glass comes with certain privacy and heat insulation functions from the factory. After years of driving, I've found it quite effective in blocking peeping and UV rays. However, I later chose to apply an additional layer of sunshade film, which made me feel even more comfortable. The car stays much cooler in summer, and the interior is less prone to fading. The film also provides extra privacy and protection against prying eyes. If you're on a tight budget, the privacy glass alone may suffice; but if you want to enhance your experience, applying a film is a great option—just choose one with high light transmittance to avoid affecting nighttime visibility and safety. I always recommend friends to make decisions based on their own needs. After all, it's your car, and comfort is what matters most.
