The trusted Port Melbourne commercial installer
Fight bayside salt air and west sun without altering the facade.
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.
Port Melbourne is our home base — we work every commercial precinct here weekly. Bay Street retail, the Salmon Street business park, Fishermans Bend industrial and the waterfront corporate stock all have different film specs, but they share one problem: unshaded bayside glazing that copes with west sun and salt air year-round.

The Port Melbourne commercial solution
Three problems 3M commercial film solves in one visit.
Heat & HVAC load in Port Melbourne
The unobstructed west-over-bay aspect drives afternoon heat loads well above CBD equivalents — Bay Street retail and Salmon Street offices routinely hit 14°C interior differentials by 4pm in summer. 3M Prestige and Ceramic IR reject up to 97% of infrared without darkening displays or offices, and their non-metallic construction resists the coastal salt-air corrosion that eats older metallised films.
Glare on screens & displays
Bay Street retail glass reflects direct west sun and bay glare — a nightmare for shopfront display and staff at POS. 3M Sun Control tuned for retail keeps signage readable from the street and displays properly lit. For Salmon Street offices, 3M Night Vision 25 removes screen glare on the west-facing open-plan floors.
Safety, privacy & anti-graffiti
Fishermans Bend industrial glazing and Bay Street shopfronts both benefit from 3M Safety Series (AS/NZS 2208) — the industrial spec for impact resistance, the retail spec for smash-and-grab and after-hours protection. Anti-graffiti overlay is standard on street-level Bay Street tenancies.

Why 3M film over the commercial alternatives
How Port Melbourne 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 |

Real Port Melbourne project
Shopfront firebomb attack — 3M Ultra S800 held the glass together.
A Port Melbourne retailer needed shopfront protection after a firebomb incident. We installed 3M Scotchshield Ultra S800 safety and security film — the same film we specify for Port Melbourne storefronts, showrooms and ground-floor tenancies.
