Volvo V60 Window Tint | Avery Pro 15 Treviso

This Volvo V60 arrived at the Microstudio workshop in Treviso with a clear objective: to give the car a more assertive appearance while improving passenger-compartment comfort during the hottest days.

We applied Avery HP Pro 15 tinted solar control film to the rear passenger windows, rear windscreen and side windows of the luggage compartment. Its dark, black-based shade enhanced the lines of the estate car, creating a more uniform and private appearance without altering the front side windows.

Approved Heat-Control Window Films | Avery HP Pro 15

A dark shade for comfort, privacy and appearance

The choice of film was not based exclusively on appearance. The customer wanted automotive solar control films capable of reducing the amount of solar energy entering through the rear windows and making the interior of the vehicle more comfortable.

The film’s dark shade blends well with the lines of the Volvo V60 and creates greater visual separation between the passenger compartment and the outside. The result is a more noticeable privacy effect, combined with an overall bolder and sportier appearance.

Features of Avery HP Pro 15 film

For this installation, an Avery Dennison Automotive Window Film HP Pro 15 was selected. The HP Pro range consists of hybrid metallised films developed to provide solar control, protection against ultraviolet radiation and low exterior reflectivity.

The product data sheet states that the HP Pro 15 version provides 15% visible light transmission, blocks more than 99% of UV rays, reduces glare by 83% and rejects 53% of total solar energy. These values were measured by the manufacturer on 6-millimetre clear glass and may vary depending on the characteristics of the vehicle’s original glazing.

These properties make the film suitable for customers seeking a solution that combines solar protection for automotive windows, privacy and a clearly visible aesthetic transformation, without creating a pronounced mirror effect.

Cleaning and heat-forming on the Volvo V60 windows

Before application, the inside and outside surfaces of the windows were thoroughly cleaned. This preparation is essential to remove dust, residue and impurities that could otherwise become trapped between the glass and the film.

The film was initially shaped and heat-formed on the outside of the glass. This allowed the material to conform to the curvature of the rear windscreen and the other windows. Once preparation was complete, the film was applied to the inside surface, where it remains better protected from direct exposure to weather conditions.

Film applied to the rear windows

The installation covered the rear passenger side windows, the side windows of the luggage compartment and the rear windscreen. The front windscreen and front side windows were left untreated, as the regulations governing aftermarket films do not permit their application to the windscreen or front side windows.

The work was therefore focused on the rear section of the vehicle, creating visual continuity between the various windows while leaving the driver’s forward visibility unchanged.

The finished result on the Volvo V60

Once the work was completed, the Volvo V60 featured a darker and more uniform rear section. The tinted effect gives the car a more assertive appearance, increases privacy inside the passenger compartment and helps reduce the amount of UV radiation and solar energy entering through the treated windows.

The finished result therefore combines appearance and functionality: a discreet yet clearly noticeable transformation, completed using automotive solar control films in Treviso specifically designed for application to vehicle glazing.
