About EZ Faux Steel
Ezfauxdecor was born over 10 years ago after Amber Perry Shank suddenly became a single mom of 3. Spending most of their time in the kitchen with 2 growing boys she wanted to update her kitchen, but had little money and tons of ideas. Wanting the look of real stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, but couldn’t afford it, Amber started to research and develop the concept of innovative vinyl films to apply to give the look and feel of real stainless steel, and granite.
Finding that Contact Paper was the only thing on the market close to the concept that she was looking for, she began working with several factories and came up with Ezfauxdecor Films, a fiber optic vinyl “self adhesive” product. Our first product was a Stained Glass Window Film. Then we developed our Softmetal Stainless Steel Film, and eventually moved forward to our Ez Faux Granite, Ez Faux Chalkboard, Ez Faux Woods and many other EzFauxDecor Films.
The Ez Faux Stainless Steel film was taken by storm when launched on QVC in 2006. Ezfauxdecor has been featured in TV shows, movie sets, and magazines and catalogs. The public started to realize you can get the look and feel of real stainless steel and granite for a fraction of the price.
The Product ~ Brushed Satin EZ Faux Steel Film (36 x 6)
As seen on Rachael Ray, HGTV, DIY network, the Today Show, and more!! EZ Faux satin finish stainless steel films will instantly give your appliances, or any smooth surface, the look of stainless steel.
The 36 x 6 roll (which is the product I received) is the perfect size for a refrigerator, countertop, dish washer and more! As precaution, it is highly recommended that you measure the item you intend to “cover” first, to ensure a proper fit. EZ Faux Steel is installed without additional adhesive, scratch resistant, durable, heat resistant (from -10C to + 50C), and it is easy to clean. Priced at $49.95.

My Thoughts
My husband and I were very lucky to have the money to buy our “fake” stainless steel appliances when we moved into our house five years ago. We first bought our oven, then the following year we bought our fridge (used), and then finally our dishwasher. The only thing left to “finish off” the room is our above the oven range. So we decided to try out the EZ Faux Steel roll on it. Now I want to be completely honest, and share that I really wasn’t that impressed. From afar it looks really good, and matches the rest of our appliances; but up close, you can see every seam, and it almost looks like duct tape. I cannot seem to find the before picture, but here is the after:
Now, to be fair, I wanted to try out the roll on a much bigger appliance to see if we could get better results, so we decided to “make over” the old refrigerator in our garage. Here are the before/during/after photos:
My husband didn’t have any problems applying the adhesive, but he recommended doing the process very slowly and carefully. Of course, you want to measure first, then cut, and make sure you get all the “bubbles” out of the applied areas. Overall, I really liked the “new” look of our old fridge. It looks almost brand new!! No one would ever know that this fridge is “as old as the hills”. 😀
I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to have that stainless steel look, without the high prices of the real thing. It truly does allow you to have an EZ Instant Makeover! I would also recommend to use this adhesive on bigger projects (such as appliances) rather than smaller areas. It just looks better, sleeker and more “real”, if that makes sense.
