    Client: Watergardens Shopping Centre. Location: Taylors Lakes, Victoria. Duration: March 2024.

    Objective

    In March 2024, UV Window Coatings completed an extraordinary window tinting project at Watergardens Shopping Centre. The main objective was to enhance the visual appeal of the centre while providing UV protection and glare reduction. We used 3M's Blaze film from the Dichroic range, known for its unique ability to split visible light into distinct beams of varying wavelengths.

    Scope of work

    • Site evaluation to understand architectural features and requirements.
    • Selected 3M Blaze Dichroic film for vibrant colour-shifting properties.
    • Scheduled installation to minimise centre disruption.
    • Precision application across multiple glass surfaces, including hard-to-reach cuts.
    • Quality inspections during and after install with full materials and workmanship warranty.

    Results and impact

    • Visual enhancement, dynamic, colour-shifting effect that attracts visitors.
    • UV protection, blocked over 99% of harmful UV, protecting merchandise.
    • Glare reduction, improved comfort for shoppers and staff.
    • Energy efficiency, reduced cooling system load.
