Family owned and operated, we\'ve been named a National Dealer of the Year by 3M and recently recognized by Window Film Magazine as the #1 window film dealer in the US.Window Film Depot has the expertise and national reach to deliver quality 3M Window Film installations on time and on budget. Whether your project is local, regional or national, Window Film Depot can rapidly deploy installation teams to the biggest buildings or multiple retail locations. We guarantee to perform to the exacting standards of true professionals. 3M Window Film - 3M commercial window film installations control excessive heat gain & sun glare through existing windows of retail stores, office buildings and commercial properties. A 2011 DOE report identified energy window films as a \'first tier technology\' with an approximate 3 year payback for buildings. Window films ranked as the building envelope retro-fit with the highest probability of success and have an exponentially better ROI than replacement windows. Security & Safety - 3M Security Film secures glass in place during blast, seismic, shatter or \'smash and grab\' events. 3M IPA adhesives secure broken glass to window frames, anchoring shattered glass within the frame protecting occupants and critical infrastructure. Patented multi-layer films are tested to meet the most demanding government specifications of performance. Energy Management Films - Creating a more efficient building envelope is an essential step in optimizing your building for energy efficiency and helping you save money. Upgrading with 3M window films can reduce high energy costs, while improving interior comfort and maintaining your building\'s aesthetics. 3M window films are proven to save energy and may also be used toward LEED credits.
