Have you had experience with any of the glass splashback installers listed above? If so, share your feedback in the comments below.
Absolutely! Aside from their aesthetic benefits glass splashbacks are extremely light reflective aiding in illumination of a space. Moreover, being grout free and constructed from toughened glass, they are also known for their practicality, durability, and ease of maintenance.
The beauty of a glass splashback is colour versatility. Most installers can match to any colour desired. Interestingly, glass splashbacks can feature graphics or images; feature tinted reflective mirrors; and even textured finishes. For an insider’s guide on the best finish for your space speak to your local installer.
The overall cost of a glass splashback generally depends on its size, finish, type and thickness, and number of cut outs required. Pre-cut splashbacks are generally more affordable, with custom measure options sitting at between $450-$650+ per square metre for supply. Do bear in mind that installation costs are on top of this, so contact your installer today to find out more.
Yes, you certainly can. Due to their predisposition to intense heat and steam, any glass splashbacks situated behind a stove or cooktop must be fitted with toughened safety glass at a minimum 6mm thickness as per Australian Standards. Toughened glass is generally heat, moisture, and vapour resistant and available in a range of treatments, colours, and styles. In some instances, fire-resistant boarding may also be required, so check with your installer for details.
For a light clean, spray a non-abrasive cleaning product and wipe off with a clean, damp lint-free cloth. Some great cleaning product options include environmentally friendly dishwashing liquid, diluted methylated spirits, pre bought glass cleaner, or even a mixture white vinegar and water.
