    Choosing the right window film starts with understanding your windows and what you'd like to achieve.

    At UV Window Coatings, our Product Specialist will visit your property to assess your windows, discuss your concerns and recommend suitable window film options.

    During the consultation, our Product Specialist will explain the available products, discuss their appearance and performance, and take measurements for your quotation.

    What happens during the visit?

    1. Understanding your needs

    Our Product Specialist discusses what you're hoping to improve, including heat, glare, UV, privacy or security, and asks which rooms or times of day are most affected.

    2. Assessing your windows

    Not every film is suitable for every type of glass. We assess the relevant windows, glazing configuration, size, orientation and installation conditions to recommend suitable products. Learn more about what glass types can be tinted.

    3. Discussing film options

    We explain suitable products and their appearance and performance differences, and show film samples where appropriate.

    4. Taking measurements

    We measure the relevant windows and note access requirements, existing film and unusual glazing to prepare an accurate written quotation.

    How should I prepare?

    • Identify the windows or rooms you'd like assessed
    • Explain when the issue is most noticeable
    • Make the relevant windows reasonably accessible
    • Have existing glazing specifications available, if known
    • Mention any access restrictions or upcoming renovation work

    What happens after the visit?

    Our Product Specialist will prepare a tailored recommendation and written quotation based on the windows assessed and film options discussed. The quotation is sent by email so you can review the proposed film, scope and price and ask any questions before deciding to proceed.
