Many car owners immediately after purchasing a car think about what tint film to buy for it. In Russia, tinting of any auto glass is allowed if its light transmission is more than 70%. Otherwise, you can only tint the rear window, rear side windows and stick a transparent color film on the top of the windshield.
Film for tinting cars has many advantages.
- Provides light absorption (not only sunlight, but also headlights), which reduces the driver's fatigue and the likelihood of him becoming blind in the daytime and in the evening.
- Prevents heating and cooling of the interior of the machine.
- It will protect the driver and passengers from glass splinters inside the cabin in the event of an accident.
- Correctly selected film color will give the car a more attractive look.
- It does not allow you to see what is happening inside the car, thereby ensuring privacy. At the same time, the film does not interfere with the view from the inside of the machine.
- Toning protects the interior of the car from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation, and retains its aesthetic appearance for longer.

The SunControl HP series metallized films and the NR series uniformly colored films, with a wide range of shades and UV protection up to 99%, received many positive reviews for their strength and durability. They do not scratch when washing, and are not inferior to the products of other companies in light resistance, mechanical strength, and adhesive adhesion to glass.

4. Sun tek

American manufacturer Commonwealth Laminating & Coating, Inc. produces excellent films that are thinner and softer than products of other companies. Fading occurs evenly and after at least five years. The most affordable is the Standart series in various shades of gray. Its light transmission is from 8 to 50%. A more expensive option is HighPerformanceCharcoal metallized films. And for those who are looking for the best heat-reflecting properties, a series of Spectra films is designed.
Disadvantage: very strong adhesion of the adhesive layer to the glass, which may cause difficulties with removing the film from the glass.
3. Global
The average price is 700 rubles per linear meter.
Previously, the Global Window Films brand was intended exclusively for the American and Canadian markets, but eventually came to Europe and Russia. The film is produced at the enterprise with a full closed cycle, which reduces the time and cost of production and delivery of raw materials.
Advantages of films: color stability, the presence of a protective layer that protects against scratches, durability and resistance to fading, good heat-reflecting properties.

The cheapest film in the ranking of tint films for cars of 2017. But despite the price, the quality of the film is at a high level. It is produced in the USA, has a wide range of shades and has excellent UV protection, good one-sided visibility, and reliable protection against damage. It is optimal in terms of price and quality. That's just an elite athermal film Armolan was too expensive and hard to find on sale.
1. Llumar
The price per linear meter is 2200 rubles.
The best film for auto tinting is made in the USA and is included in the top segment both in price and workmanship. There are several Llumar series:
- AT - evenly colored.
- ATR - metallized (with a high light reflectance).
- ATN - with a color-metal-color structure, which prevents the effect of internal reflection.
- ATT - with a light transmission level from 15 to 68%.
- PP - direct magnetron sputtering for optimal reflection of thermal radiation.
- AIR - very thin, not blocking the light ..
Although Llumar film is expensive, it does not fade for at least 5 years and will last a very long time. Due to frequent fakes, it is recommended to take it only in trusted online stores or from an authorized representative in Russia.
