Splashbacks

If you’re looking for a way of adding a decorative touch to your home while still ensuring it’s practical, splashbacks are a great option.

While the kitchen might be the first choice when it comes to thinking about splashbacks, there are actually various areas of the home where they are beneficial like bathrooms and to brighten up a dull wall. Splashbacks can also be incredibly useful for businesses and commercial spaces too, providing an easy to maintain and affordable addition compared to tiling or similar surface protectors. It’s a contemporary choice that delivers good looks, versatility and practicality.

Hygienic and easy to clean

Cleaning splashbacks has never been so easy and quick, a quick wipe makes your splashback look new again and you do not have to worry about dirty grout.

Installation

This is quick and easy.

Cost

Glass splashbacks are more expensive than tiles, however their strength and their endurance can outweigh their initial cost.

Great wall protection

Having glass splashbacks in your kitchen will protect the walls from splashes, stains and possible damage. Tiles over time can start to stain and look old, however splashbacks will always look new and classy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitting Your Splashback
Either mirrofix glue or a good quality silicone to the back of the splashback. The back of the splashback will have a protective clear laminate backing and the glue should be applied to this. Use a silicone gun and apply the glue in lines down the splashback. Make sure a gap is left between the glue and the edge of the splashback, this prevents glue coming over the edge of the splashback when pressed onto the wall avoiding a mess. Make sure the wall the splashback is to be fitted is free from any loose materials and the wall is relatively flat.

Sit the bottom of the splashback onto the wall, ensuring that it is sitting on 2mm spaces and not directly touching the worktop, cooker or tiles, have the top angled out towards you, therefore the bottom is now directly touching the wall and the top is angled out towards you. When you are happy with the position gently push the top of your splashback onto the wall. Apply light pressure to the splashback.

Please leave the spacers for 24hrs under the bottom of the splashback so the adhesive has adequate time to set. Once the spacers have been removed silicone can be used to fill the 2mm space left by the removal of the spacers.

Handling Your Splashback
Your splashback although made from toughened glass should be handled with care and should never be placed directly on any hard surfaces such as floor tiles, granite worktops or tiles. Remember your splashback is prone to shattering if the edge of the glass meets these surfaces especially as the glass is at its most vulnerable when it is not fitted to the wall. Stand your splashback upright on wood or carpeted surfaces and try to fit your splashback asap. Always wear gloves and protective glasses when handling your splashback. Always keep unfitted glass in a safe place and keep away from children.
What Type of Glass Do You Use?
Your splashback is made in 6mm low toughened pilkington glass and conforms to BS 6206-EN-12600. All splashbacks are heat proof and toughened and can be used behind hobs and gas cookers. We only use toughened low iron glass in all splashbacks that we supply unlike some of our competitors who use standard float glass. Normal float glass can distort the image or colour as the iron content gives a slight green appearance to the glass. Low iron glass gives a much sharper colour and image and therefore a better appearance. All splashbacks are polished, this is where the edge of the glass has been machined in order to give a smooth surface to the edge of the glass. Your splashback will arrive safely packaged and all packaging should be removed carefully on a flat surface. Your splashback will have a clear laminated backing to protect the back of your splashback this should not be removed when you receive your splashback.
