The dangers of car wrapping: is it worth the risk?
Updated on: 52-0-0 0:0:0

In many European and American countries, the experience and history of car use are longer, and their views on car film are usually not pasted to the best. Let's take a look at the relevant regulations in these countries.

Regulations on film in European countries

France: The front windshield cannot be filmed, the requirements elsewhere are very strict!

Germany: The front windshield must ensure 70% light transmittance, and the front window can only be covered with transparent glass film, while the rear window has no restrictions. Here it is necessary to explain the light transmittance, which is the percentage of light that can pass through without refraction and reflection.

Italy: The front windshield and front windows are not allowed to be filmed, while the rear windshield and rear windows are allowed, but information such as the manufacturer and the date of manufacture must be indicated on the film.

Spain: Foil is not allowed on the front and front windshields, while it is allowed on the rear and rear windshields.

It can be seen from this that many European and American countries do not allow film on the front windshield and front windows, why is this?

The hazards of film are as follows:

1. The car film affects the vision in the car, which increases the difficulty of law enforcement. More directly, it is not easy for the police to enforce the law when dealing with situations such as kidnappings.

2. After the glass film is pasted, it will cause the car body to reflect and affect the line of sight of the rear car, thereby increasing the incidence of rear-end accidents.

3. Many people have seen the reflection of the center console reflected by the car film when driving during the day, and the street light line becomes scattered at night. This kind of light refraction and indiscriminate reflection is difficult to solve even if it is a genuine car film, and it is easy to cause driving fatigue and cause great harm to the driver after driving for a long time.

4. In the Chinese market, the production quality of automotive film is generally low. Many places that produce car film are under the banner of "famous brand", but in fact, the production process is very simple, and many "explosion-proof films" are just a layer of film. Some of these films are taken away by merchants, and some are taken away by retailers, and they are put on sale with a label.

5. After talking about the problem of producing film, let me talk about the problem of film. In the process of lamination, many car films are pasted on the inside of the car window, and the inferior materials and glues contain excessive benzene and formaldehyde, which affects health.

Having said all this, some people will definitely ask: will the front windshield shatter if it is not filmed? Tell everyone, no! Why? Because the front windshield itself is tempered glass, it won't shatter easily! The "explosion-proof film" mentioned by the manufacturer may not really be explosion-proof.

If you're afraid of the sun in summer, you can choose to wrap the glass of the four doors, but I recommend that you make sure to leave enough vision for the mirror! Safety comes first!
