Tinted windows

[Exwindsurfer]

Well my tinted window screen trim came today so I thought I'd have a go so took the toilet window out and applied foil tint and I think it looks OK but her in doors doesn't like it so is it worth doing the rest .Bloody strange creature's women lololol

I fancied tinting my windows, but not done so since I epically failed 30 years go and never tried since

Your attempt looks very well applied, but I'm with 'er indoors Not in a reflective foil tint! A smoked tint would look good.

Tinted windows are always in favour for those with voyeur tendencies Jeff, is this you coming out?

With those mirror sunglasses coming to mind when I look at the picture.
They always seem to be worn by dodgy people, so my feelings are with the smoked rather than mirror .

It is surprising that the Shower/Toilet room windows in Motorhomes never seem to be frosted.

I used a patterned frosted sticky sheet thingy in mine and think it works well.

But overall, would like all the windows to have a tint (had this done on my last 3 conversions with a 90% tint and worked well)

I don’t understand this tinting thing. For me windows are for looking out of and the more natural the colour the happier I am. I don’t like dull grey days so why make make everything appear dull.

If you need privacy shut the blind, if you don’t you might as well sit there and enjoy the view.

Your mistake is obvious Geoff, a woman wants to see herself in a mirror, you put in on the wrong way round

Hi Chris

Ubviously some people dismiss the whole concept of a tinted window and don't 'get it', but there are a number of advantages to those with a more open mindset ...

Privacy - in the shower room is certainly useful and it means you can use the loo and more relevantly the shower WITHOUT having to close the blind if you want privacy. So you can still look out and enjoy the view without anyone peering in.
The same privacy can be enjoyed in the living area as well.
In the majority of Motorhomes the living area is also the dressing area and very often the 'drying after a shower' area as well in many shower rooms in motorhomes and campers being tiny. Having tinted windows means again you don't need to close the blinds while drying or dressing to avoid being seen if there are people around. It is also especially effective if in self-conversion and 'stealth camping' where you can see out perfectly clearly and check what is going on without anyone seeing in.
Cooler - the Tint also helps block some heat coming it (you can get especially heat-reflective tint film as well, which would be good if using the camper a lot in places like Southern Europe).

The following photo shows the difference between no glass, an already standard tinted window with an additional 90% tint added (90% tint means 90% of the light is blocked from entering), and the two panes of tinted glass one on top of the other (effect of sliding window open).

And total privacy (and IMO a nice look on this style of van as well)

I chose to have the 90% tint as that is my preference (I find the slight light reduction looking out perfectly fine and the level of privacy afforded excellent) but you can get tint levels anywhere from 5% all the way to 100% and blackout.
