Newly Expanded Warehouse
- April 21, 2010
Decorative Film Depot has expanded and now has more warehouse space to house more decorative window films. The newly expanded space also includes more office space.
The economy has turned around and we are experiencing a higher volume of orders, so the newly expanded warehouse has come at the right time. There is no showroom in the expanded space, so the best place to view our frosted window films and decorative glass films is still online.
Customers may pick up stained glass window film and other decorative window film orders at our warehouse location by appointment only. Please call 877-DECO-FILM or 877-332-6345 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to serving you!

Decorative Film Depot Signs On New Dealers
Company rolls out new DFD Dealer Program for window tinting installation companies
ROCKVILLE, Md., May 20, 2009 – Decorative Film Depot, LLC, the #1 source for decorative window film, today announced the signing of new dealers to distribute and install the company’s products. The newest DFD Dealers are Solar-X of Sarasota in Florida and Solar Solutions located just outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee in Rossville, Georgia. The company also announced a new dealer program to attract window film installation companies to sell or install their products nationwide.
“We needed to expand our decorative film offering to include custom printed materials for storefronts,” stated Lyman MacNutt, President of Solar-X of Sarasota. “I felt comfortable that DFD could assist us in offering a product to our commercial prospects that we hadn't offered before. I am confident that any collaborative effort we enter into will only expand our sales – even in a challenging economy.”
“I was looking for a particular film,” said Steve Fisher, Owner of Solar Solutions. “Not only did I find the film I was looking for, I found a great company to do business with as well. It’s rare to encounter someone that you really want to do business with, and you really can't put a price tag on their level of customer service. The UBS job went very well thanks to DFD.”
DFD Dealer Program
Decorative Film Depot is actively recruiting window film installation companies to become DFD Dealers in its nationwide network of certified professional installers. The company has put together a sales and marketing program that will help Certified DFD Dealers to grow their decorative window film business.
Besides wholesale pricing on products, DFD Dealers are granted an exclusive dealership territory. Consumers use DFD’s web site to find certified installers in their area for value added services. DFD Dealers receive a product catalog of actual films to augment onsite consumer or commercial sales. DFD Dealers also receive a credit towards future orders of decorative film. Inquiries should call 1-877-DECO-FILM to learn more about DFD Dealer Program. Available territories are found on the Installer Locator webpage: (http://www.decorativefilmdepot.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=53).

Decorative Film Depot, LLC Spins Off from Interior Guardz, LLC to Serve Fast Growing Market in Decorative Window Film
New company specializes in selling decorative window film products online
February 12, 2009 – ROCKVILLE, MD – Decorative Film Depot, LLC, the #1 source for decorative window film, today announced the successful spin off from their parent company, Interior Guardz, LLC. The new company focuses exclusively on selling high quality decorative window film from a secure e-commerce web site, www.DecorativeFilmDepot.com.
“As early as 2001, customers of my window film installation company kept asking for window film with patterns or unique colors,” said Laurence Streidel, President of Decorative Film Depot, LLC. “As a window tint installer, my options were very limited, so I found myself searching the globe, literally, to find interesting or colorful films that my customers would like.”
Mr. Streidel continued, “As the demand for decorative film continued over the years, I decided it was time to start a separate company that would focus exclusively on supplying decorative window film – and Decorative Film Depot was born. By the spring of 2008, we began the process to separate Decorative Film Depot from Interior Guardz. Today, Decorative Film Depot is solely focused on selling great looking window film at affordable prices to anywhere in the world. We currently sell about 150 different decorative films and plan to offer more than 300 by the end of the year.”
Pioneering Features
Decorative Film Depot pioneered a new way to shop online for window film called the Reliable Image Comparison System™ or RICS™. This new process standardizes product photos so customers better understand what they are buying. RICS adds common reference points in the product photo and employs a consistent visual background utilizing the full color spectrum. RICS allows customers to better gauge the opacity, translucency, transparency, light refraction, color and pattern size relative to other products.
Decorative Film Depot was also the first to introduced Film by the Foot™. Other window film suppliers require customers to order by the roll or in large square-yard increments. Decorative Film Depot products are purchased in linear feet, so there is less wasted after an installation. More important, the price better reflects what the customer needs.
Glenys Swalla from Pennsylvania recently purchased some film from Decorative Film Depot. Mrs. Swalla said, “My husband and I literally searched hours and hours for the right decorative film and found Decorative Film Depot at the last minute. They have a wide selection and their choices are excellent. We also found the site much more user friendly and enjoyable to use than other sites. I liked the fact that I could enlarge a picture and see the film’s details. We were able to see the films effects on a window because the example showed the glass with and without the film and no other web site did this as well as Decorative Film Depot. We installed it ourselves and love it.”
Secure Ordering
All decorative window film is purchased online with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, DISCOVER, eCheck or PayPal under VeriSign Identity Protection. Orders are processed within two business days. Orders can be shipped anywhere in the USA and to any foreign country that UPS serves.
Karyn Chastain is the Nursery Preschool Director at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Missouri. Mrs. Chastain said, “Our day care is located in an office building with big glass windows. It offered no privacy and the toddlers were crying when people walked by. We then purchased a film called ‘Trains, Moons & Stars’ from Decorative Film Depot. The film came in about three or four days and we installed it on the bottom half of the windows. Now the toddlers can’t see through, but the parents can look overtop when they come up. It’s very decorative, not ugly gray or brown like other window films.”
Mrs Chastain continued, “Decorative Film Depot offers unique products found nowhere else. They were the only ones to have child-friendly window film. The directions that came with our order were very helpful and the film was easy to install. The online shopping was great and their customer service was excellent.”
Decorative Film Depot primarily serves window tint installers, window film dealers, architects, interior designers, property managers, and facility managers. But because the window film is so easy to install, Decorative Film Depot also serves retail shops, restaurants, daycares and home owners in the U.S. and abroad.
