    Credentials that make a difference

    3M Select Partner Platinum tier certification badge

    3M Platinum Select Partner

    Access to premium 3M films, backed by genuine manufacturer warranties on eligible products.

    What this means for you

    Platinum is the highest tier in 3M's Select Partner program, above Gold, and is held by a small number of installers nationally. It gives access to premium ranges such as 3M Prestige and 3M Ultra Safety and Security, from a business assessed against 3M's own standards.

    When comparing quotes, ask whether the installer is an authorised 3M Select Partner and at what tier, whether the quote names the exact product, and whether the 3M warranty is included.

    WFAANZ Window Film Association of Australia and New Zealand member logoWFAANZ Certified Architectural Window Film Association of Australia and New Zealand badge

    WFAANZ member and flat glass accredited

    Specialist knowledge of glass types, film compatibility and installation practice, helping us recommend a suitable film for your windows.

    What this means for you

    We are members of the Window Film Association of Australia and New Zealand and hold WFAANZ Architectural Window Film accreditation for flat glass. The training covers glass types and construction, film selection, thermal stress, coated and laminated glass, single and double glazing, and correct installation practice.

    The film with the best numbers on paper is not automatically right for every window. Glass type, pane size, existing coatings and orientation all affect whether a film is suitable.

    WERS For Film Window Energy Rating Scheme certification badge

    WERS For Film accredited

    Advice based on recognised energy performance ratings, with energy certificates available for qualifying products and installations.

    What this means for you

    WERS For Film is Australia's recognised energy rating program for window film. Eligible products are independently tested for how they affect a building's heating and cooling performance, so films can be compared on tested data rather than marketing claims.

    We can identify WERS-rated films, explain their energy performance, and issue a WERS For Film certificate where the product and installation qualify, which is useful for architects, builders and property professionals.

    What you can expect from us

    The right film for your glass

    We assess glass type, existing coatings, pane size, orientation and your priorities before recommending a film.

    We carry 3M's full range alongside other established brands, so we are not limited to whatever we happen to stock.

    Honest advice about the trade-offs

    We explain how different films affect heat, glare, natural light, privacy and appearance so you can make an informed choice.

    A darker film controls glare but takes more light; reflective film gives daytime privacy that reverses at night once your lights are on.

    Experienced, fully insured installers

    Careful preparation, installation and finishing, with experience across homes, occupied commercial buildings and complex glazing.

    Including large panes, high-level glazing, difficult access, external installs, safety and security film and anti-graffiti film.

    Clear quotes and support after installation

    Your written quote identifies the product, scope, price and warranty. We remain available for curing, care and warranty questions after handover.

    Our process: Discuss your needs → On-site assessment and samples → Written quote → Installation and aftercare

    Experience across homes, businesses and complex projects

    Since 1997 we have worked across different glass types, buildings and access requirements, from renovated homes to occupied shopping centres and public venues. That experience informs which film we recommend and how we plan each installation.

    3M Prestige 70 window film in a renovated Prahran home

    Renovated Victorian home, Prahran

    Challenge: West-facing windows and a sun-filled atrium let in strong afternoon heat, and new interiors needed protection from fading.

    Film and result: 3M Prestige 70, a clear, low-reflection film, was selected for solar control and UV protection while keeping the renovation bright.

    Donovans, St Kilda

    Challenge: Solar heat through the restaurant's waterfront glazing, without losing the light or the view.

    Film and result: 3M Prestige 60 was installed, finished in a single day to avoid disrupting service.

    Melbourne shopfront after a firebomb attack

    Challenge: New glazing on a firebombed showroom needed better resistance to forced entry while keeping a clear street-facing view.

    Film and result: 3M Ultra S800 security film was installed across the 80m² shopfront to make rapid forced entry more difficult.

    • “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.”

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.”

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.”

    FAQ

    Questions about choosing UV Window Coatings

    Why choose UV Window Coatings?

    We have specialised in Melbourne window film since 1997 and hold 3M Platinum Select Partner status, WFAANZ flat glass accreditation and WERS For Film accreditation. Experienced, fully insured installers do the work, and your written quote names the exact product, scope, price and warranty.

    What does 3M Platinum Select Partner status mean?

    Platinum is the highest tier in 3M's Select Partner program, above Gold. It means we are authorised to supply and install eligible 3M architectural films, including premium ranges such as Prestige and Ultra Safety and Security, as genuine 3M product backed by the manufacturer warranty.

    What do WFAANZ and WERS accreditation mean for my project?

    WFAANZ flat glass accreditation covers glass types, film compatibility, thermal stress and correct installation practice, so the film suits your glass. WERS For Film accreditation means we can explain independently rated energy performance and issue a WERS For Film certificate where the product and installation qualify.

    Who installs the film?

    Senior, highly experienced technicians. Every installer is fully insured and backed by our workmanship warranty.

    How do you choose the right film for my windows?

    We look at glass type, orientation, existing coatings, pane size, exposure and what you want to fix, then compare films on heat, glare, light, privacy, appearance, glass compatibility and warranty. It is not the same film for every job.

    Do you only install 3M films?

    3M is our main premium range, but we will recommend another established manufacturer's film if it is a better fit for the job or the budget.
