The windscreen cannot have a very “deep” colour on account of provisions of the law which are saying, that enlightened penetrability through a windscreen has to be at least the 70%, and for the side panes – 75%. It is absolutely necessary to check the colour of the side pane in order not to have three green panes and one white.

Solar Panel

The most recognizable type of pane is called “Solar”. It is covered with special oxides in order to limit the permeation of the warmth to the inside of the vehicle. One more characteristic is colour change varying among purple, green and dark blue.

The black belt with dots which is appearing around the pane is rotary screen printing. An empty window is often left so that you can see the VIN number. Serigraphs have a few important functions and one less important. It facilitates and improves the permanence of sticking the pane to the car body. It is also an OE factory paste that occurs in a factory or service station. It shelters the glue from the exaggerated heat of the sun as well as “camouflage” paths of glue and roof lining. Car manufacturers recently treat serigraphs as one of the additional components of aesthetics. For a certain car model, there appear several of serigraphs.
