The trusted Fitzroy commercial installer
Heritage-safe safety and solar film for high-street shopfronts.
UV Window Coatings is a 3M Platinum Select Partner for commercial work serving Melbourne businesses since 1997. Every job is delivered by our own vetted, manufacturer-trained crews and backed by a written 3M warranty.
Fitzroy is retail and hospitality high-street — Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street and Smith Street run three of Melbourne's most intense pedestrian-glass economies. Heritage overlays cover almost every tenancy, night-economy foot traffic is heavy, and every shopfront is a candidate for safety, anti-graffiti and solar film in one visit.

The Fitzroy commercial solution
Three problems 3M commercial film solves in one visit.
Heat & HVAC load in Fitzroy
West-facing Brunswick Street shopfronts and Smith Street tenancies cop full afternoon sun through unshaded single-pane glazing. 3M Sun Control tuned for retail keeps interior temperatures manageable while preserving display visibility from the footpath.
Glare on screens & displays
Fitzroy retail lives or dies on how the shopfront looks from the street — heavy tint reads as 'closed' from the footpath. 3M Sun Control and 3M Prestige are non-reflective and view-preserving, so displays stay lit and staff at POS aren't fighting screen glare on trading terminals.
Safety, privacy & anti-graffiti
Night-economy Fitzroy shopfronts cop the highest smash-and-grab and graffiti rates in the Yarra LGA. 3M Safety Series (AS/NZS 2208) with anti-graffiti overlay is essentially a standing spec for street-level tenancies on Brunswick, Gertrude and Smith Streets — protection plus a sacrificial layer that's cheap to replace.

Why 3M film over the commercial alternatives
How Fitzroy tenants actually compare their options.
| When you compare | 3M commercial film | Internal blinds / screens | Replacing the glazing | External awnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heat rejection | Up to 97% IR at the glass | Minimal — heat already inside | Improved with IGU | Partial, sun-angle dependent |
| Landlord / facade approvals | Typically not required (interior) | Usually not required | Landlord + often council | Landlord + often council |
| Operational disruption | After-hours, none | Fit inside business hours | 4–12 weeks + fitout downtime | 2–6 weeks + street closure |
| AS/NZS 2208 safety | Yes with Safety Series | No | Only with laminated glass upgrade | No |
| Preserves the view | Yes — optically clear | No — blocks when closed | Yes | Partial |
| Indicative cost | $ — best commercial value | $$ per tenancy | $$$$ whole job | $$$ per elevation |
