The trusted Hawthorn commercial installer
Comfort for Burwood and Glenferrie Roads within heritage overlays.
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.
Hawthorn's commercial spine runs along Burwood Road and Glenferrie Road — professional suites, boutique offices, medical practices and retail arcades in a mix of period and mid-century commercial stock. Boroondara heritage overlays cover much of the frontage, and west sun is the chronic problem across the whole precinct.

The Hawthorn commercial solution
Three problems 3M commercial film solves in one visit.
Heat & HVAC load in Hawthorn
West-facing Burwood Road offices routinely see 8–12°C interior differentials by mid-afternoon. 3M Prestige and Ceramic IR reject up to 97% of infrared without changing the heritage streetscape, dropping split-system runtime by 20–30% in typical Hawthorn tenancies.
Glare on screens & displays
Glenferrie Road retail and Burwood Road medical suites both suffer from west afternoon sun on displays and consult rooms. 3M Sun Control tuned for retail keeps displays visible and 3M Night Vision 25 handles glare-critical office floors.
Safety, privacy & anti-graffiti
Medical suites along Burwood Road and around the Epworth precinct are privacy-critical — 3M Fasara frosting delivers consult-room privacy without a builder. Ground-floor Glenferrie Road retail gets Safety Series with Anti-Graffiti as standard.

Why 3M film over the commercial alternatives
How Hawthorn 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 |
