I have this in my bathroom. Put it up in 1998. Have it in my shop, too.
Put it up in 1999, I think. Put it on my basement windows in maybe 2000.
All are still there. All are glass except the one basement window which is
polycarb since I sawed a hole into it for an exhaust port.
The stuff I have is molded into little prisms in a sort of
triangulated-square pattern, two-and-a-half squares to the inch. It comes
on roles like shelf paper.
I wouldn't consider trying to etch glass mechanically or chemically with the
windows in place. I'm getting all the performance I need from this stuff,
which was cheap, easy, and not threatening to the health of my windows or
me.
