Automotive tinting specifics
Frit Band
The frit band is the opaque ceramic band around the perimeter of vehicle glass, hiding the urethane bond from UV and giving the glass its finished black edge.
Frit bands are typically 50–100 mm wide on the windscreen and rear windscreen. They are fired into the glass at manufacture, so they are durable, opaque and stable.
For tint installation, the frit band sets the visible boundary of the film job. A clean job has the film ending precisely along the frit edge — too far inward looks unfinished, too far outward overlaps onto the rubber seal and can lift.
Infratint custom-cuts each film by hand to fit, so each panel ends within 1 to 2 mm of the frit edge.
