A look at how we work on a larger commercial scope.
The Movenpick Hotel on Spencer Street came to Tint.Melbourne after another tinting business was unable to complete the job. The challenge was the scale of the glazing — windows approaching six metres in height across the hotel foyer and restaurant, with limited internal access making an interior installation impractical.
We assessed the site and specified 3M Prestige 40 exterior solar film, applied to the outside of the glass to reduce heat and glare inside the building without requiring internal access. It was the right product for the situation — and getting it installed required considerably more than just the film.
The job involved obtaining permits from Yarra Trams and the City of Melbourne, coordinating traffic management on Spencer Street, organising scissor lift access, and working within weather constraints that affected what days the installation could safely proceed. Weekend work was factored in from the outset to satisfy permit requirements.
Four installers completed the full scope in three days. The result was a noticeably cooler, more comfortable environment for guests in the foyer and restaurant — exactly what the client needed.

The King David School engaged Tint.Melbourne following a security assessment which recommended blast mitigation film across all windows at their four Armadale campuses – Early Learning Centre, Junior School, Senior School and Performing Arts.
The security firm had specified a European standard for which no direct film product existed. Rather than walk away from the brief, we assessed the requirement and recommended a film and silicone combination – Llumar SCL7 security film anchored with Dow Corning 995 structural silicone – which the security firm reviewed and approved.
From there the scope was straightforward: every window across four campuses was accurately measured and assessed, a detailed quote was submitted and approved and works began. The three-step installation process involved removing existing silicone, installing the security film, and applying new structural silicone to anchor it to the frame. With all works carried out outside school hours to avoid disruption to students and staff, a team of nine completed the full scope across approximately three months.
“Tint Melbourne worked with us on a huge job – installing shatterproof film on virtually every window of our multi-campus school. The works were funded through a Federal Government grant, which meant that there was a great deal of governance surrounding the project, and a very strict budget that had to be reconciled. Scott went over and above to ensure that the works did not go above budget, and provided clear and responsive paperwork immediately when required. The team also made sure that all work was carried out after the school day or on weekends so that the students and teachers was not affected. The work itself is great, and has provided an important OH&S element to our school. I would gladly recommend the team at Tint Melbourne.”
