The trusted Armadale guide
You shouldn't have to choose between heat, heritage, and your view.
UV Window Coatings is a 3M Platinum Select Partner serving Melbourne since 1997. Our crews are vetted, manufacturer-trained, and stand behind every install with a written 3M warranty.
Armadale is blue-chip Stonnington, Victorian and Federation homes under the council's strictest heritage controls. Window replacement is rarely approved. Interior 3M film is the only compliant way to solve the UV and heat problem on these homes.

The Armadale solution
Three problems window film solves on day one.
UV & heat in Armadale
Bay windows, sidelights and leadlights are central to Armadale's streetscape, and central to its summer heat problem. Prestige film blocks up to 97% of infrared and 99.9% of UV, with no visible change to any of it.
Why 3M Prestige film
Interior-applied film is generally heritage-compatible by design — the original glass stays and the appearance is unchanged. Heritage overlay rules vary property by property, so confirm with City of Stonnington if your home has a specific heritage listing.
Security film for Armadale
Tightly held, affluent, and well-known to opportunistic offenders. Security film on bay windows and leadlights is a powerful add-on for owners who want protection without compromising the heritage value of the home.

“The team were great from start to finish, from the initial quote over the phone to the final install and completion.”

“I recently had UV window coating and security tint installed, and I am extremely happy with the result. The entire process was professional and hassle-free, from the initial consultation through to the installation. The quality of the tint is excellent, providing added security, UV protection, and improved privacy while still maintaining a clean and professional appearance. The installation was completed to a very high standard, with great attention to detail and no visible imperfections. The team was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to explain the product and installation process clearly. I was particularly impressed with their professionalism and workmanship. I highly recommend UV Windows Coating for anyone looking for quality security window tinting and professional service. Excellent product, excellent workmanship, and excellent customer service!”

“UV coatings were great with helping me choose the best suited tint to match a window to other existing windows. Also gave me some good advice on another skylight window issue I was having and helped me find a solution.”

“We recently had UV Window Coatings install window tinting to our existing windows, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Khoa and the team were professional from the initial quote right through to installation. The process was smooth, the workmanship was excellent, and the difference has been incredible. Rooms that used to become unbearably hot from the afternoon sun are now much more comfortable, and we've noticed a significant reduction in heat coming through the windows. The tint looks fantastic, maintains the views, and has made a huge difference to the comfort of our home. If you're looking for a quality window tinting solution, I highly recommend Khoa and the team at UV Window Coatings. Amazing work and outstanding service!”

“It felt like I had a village take care of my tinting needs. Deb in sales really knows her stuff, Khoa as well. The installers Brendan and Steve did a great job too. The admin staff were professional. I really like how they went out of their way to leave me samples so I can have a think about my options. The non reflective options they have are great and we ended up doing our whole house. The house looks great and modern, ready for summer.”

“We are delighted to have been referred to UV Window Coatings. From our first contact to installation the experience has been excellent. The film significantly reduced the heat coming into our upstairs rooms facing west, north and east. The advice we received and the installation was most professional. I highly recommend this company.”

“Rachel, Deb, Khoa and Steve were immensely helpful and accommodating from the first consultation contact to installation. Loved the fact I was educated and recommended different options based on my requirements and suitability before locking. I eventually went with both privacy and security film combined option which I’ve been satisfied with so far. Will come to this team again for my future projects.”

“I highly recommend UV Window Coatings. Khoa, Deb and the installer were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, from initial enquiry to installation. They provided a competitive quotation, and the installation was carried out efficiently and without issue. We selected the 3M window tint, which has substantially reduced glare and heat within our apartment. This is an outstanding company that consistently delivers on its commitments.”
