A vehicle modification involving the application of a transparent or semi-transparent material to the glazing surfaces, characterized by a verdant hue, is intended to alter the aesthetic appearance and functional properties of the automotive glass. For instance, a sedan might have this treatment applied to mitigate solar glare and enhance privacy. This modification often involves specialized films applied to the interior surface of the windows.
The implementation of such glazing treatments can offer several advantages, including the reduction of ultraviolet radiation exposure for vehicle occupants, a decrease in interior temperature through solar heat rejection, and an increased level of occupant privacy. Historically, such modifications were primarily aesthetic, but advancements in materials science have allowed for performance enhancements related to thermal control and safety.
