FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS What are
etched look glass vinyl decals?
Our etched look glass decals are cut from a premium exterior grade adhesive backed sign
vinyl with the look of etched or frosted glass.
How long
will the last?
The etched look glass decals have 5 to 7 year durability when applied to the exterior
surfaces. In most cases they are applied to the interior, which will add
many more years to the life of the vinyl.
Are these
the decals sold at building supply stores?
No, they are not the static cling decals found at local stores. Our
etched look glass decals are adhesive backed and much more durable than static cling
decals. Most of our designs are original and will not be found anywhere
else.
Are they
removable?
Yes, they can be removed by lifting a corner with a razor blade and
peeling off like any sticker. However, once removed it cannot be
reapplied.
Does it look
good from both sides of the glass?
Yes, the etched look glass decals look the same from either side of the glass.
Is there
clear vinyl between the etched areas of the design?
No, only the etched areas are visible, unlike static cling decals, so
you see only the etched design and the clear glass in between, just like
real sandblast etching.
Can designs
be modified to suit different tastes?
Yes, we can add or remove elements of most designs and resize to fit
your glass or mirror perfectly.
How is it
applied?
The etched look glass decals are applied wet with a solution of water and a drop of dish
detergent and a plastic squeegee applicator. Complete application
instructions are included with each order and posted on the website.
What tools
will I need?
Spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap, plastic squeegee
applicator or credit card, utility or exacto knife.
Does Carved
Glass Company offer application services?
Yes, we do in our local area (central Florida). Should you need
assistance outside of our area a local window tint company might be able to help
you.
Can you cut
a decal from a photo, drawing or idea that we have?
Yes, we do custom design work and business logos.
What is the
difference between regular and reverse etched designs?
Regular etched look glass designs mean the design is etched and the background is
clear, reversed etched look glass means the background is frosted to add privacy.
The design in reverse etching would either be clear or have a thin
outline around it and be etched, depending on the design. |
