What Should I consider?
It’s important to take your time when choosing your splashback, as there are many things to consider to make sure you end up with exactly what you wanted.
Colour
Our customers can choose their desired colour from the RAL colour chart. With plenty of variation in shades, you don’t have to worry about not finding the right one!
Click on the link further down this page to view our interactive kitchen and experiment with the colours of the RAL colour chart.
We also offer a colour matching service if you’d like your splashback to match your walls or kitchen cabinets exactly!
Prints/patterns
If you’re looking for something a little extra than block colour, we are able to apply prints, special effects or patterns to give your glass a more personalised finish. All we require is a picture or detailed description of the look you want to achieve, and we can turn your design vision into a reality.
Toughened
Be aware that the glass going directly behind the hob needs to be toughened. The rest of the splashback can be regular, untoughened glass if you wish.
Rooms
They are great for bouncing light around a room, making a confined space look spacious.
Consider all your options, as splashbacks are not simply confined to the kitchen area. They are also extremely practical in bathrooms and en-suites, behind sinks, baths and inside shower enclosures, creating a glossy surface whilst protecting the wall behind from sprays and splashes.
Have you thought about glass upstands too, for a small border?

How To Measure Up
Once you’ve chosen the splashback you’d like, you just need to take a few measurements which will enable us to provide a quote and supply the exact size and shape you need.
If you require supply only, these will be the measurements we refer to when cutting the glass. If you are having a supply and fitting service from us, then we will send out one of our glaziers to take secondary measurements, once the job has been agreed – just to make sure we have 100% accurate measurements to work with!
Watch our measuring video or view the step by step instructions below to learn how to take the most accurate measurements.
Draw a horizontal line that is in the middle of the wall space, between your worktop and your wall cabinets.
Next, measure the vertical lines to make sure the lines are all equal.
Add up the total number of sockets and light switches the splashback area will cover.
Take dimensions to the centre of the sockets; both width and height.
