Window tinting options DE, Benelux, FR?

[NotGumby]

Hi Crew,

I’m looking for a window specialist to slap a tint on the Troopy. Anyone have any suggestions and or experience with a tinter? I’m in Hessen so within a good 6 hour drive would be fine.

Thanks - Rick

At first I would look at the window film itself because there are huge differences. Most common films have bad heat/infrared reflection or blocking they are just tinted, you don't want that!

Then there are those with a metalized layer which have much more overall heat retention and sometimes reflective finish which makes it harder to see the interior with less overall tint (better vision from inside) but can have negative impact on GPS performance and other ota services.

Last but not least, the films with embedded ceramic particles which creates the best overall results and usually the best quality independent from the specific manufacturer. Famous premium manufacturer is Llumar.

I personally used Beluga285 from Höllwarth Folientechnik which is 85% tint ceramic film, installed it myself and quite happy with it. They also offer installation at their workshop but I would check the distance...

Good infos @MazeVX

@NotGumby In addition I would also look at different tint levels and colors. Too dark can also be unpleasant. And pay attention to the approval of the tinting film, while professionals regularly offer only tinting films that have a general type approval. There is someone here in town who does good work. I'm searching for the phone number... will message you later.
