NuEtch Faux Etch Film Designs are applied directly to existing glass or mirror using a chemical agent that cleans and prepares the surface, and enhances the bond of the design’s adhesive to the surface of the glass.

The work is done on site, without the slightest danger to the finest floor coverings, furniture or adjacent decor.

For smaller Do It Yourself (DIY) installations we provide instructions on mixing a water based solution to aide in the application.

The liquid used to install your NuEtch design will evaporate over a few days, but it does take two – three weeks for the design to “fully cure.” During this time, you should not clean your glass. If your NuEtch design is in a bath area prone to large amounts of condensation on the glass while showering, it is advisable to shower in another bathroom for the 2 days. Once the design is cured, care and maintenance is easy. Any commercial glass cleaner and paper towels may be used. NEVER USE AN ABRASSIVE CLEANER or Solvent – like Soft Scrub or GooGone – to clean the design

Depending on how well your NuEtch Faux Etching was installed, where it is located and how it is treated, it should last for about 15 years.
