Whether behind a stove or lining a kitchen counter, splashbacks add colour and visual interest to a kitchen. They're also easy to clean, a vital characteristic in a kitchen. Stone or tile splashbacks are traditional, but glass splashbacks offer many more options. If you're planning a new kitchen, there are several reasons to choose glass splashbacks. 

Durability and ease of use

Glass splashbacks are highly durable and heat-resistant, making them ideal for tough kitchen environments. A toughened splashback is essential for the stove area: this type of specially-treated splashback can withstand the increased temperature behind a stove without damage or discolouration. For counters and other areas, regular glass splashbacks will do the job. Glass surfaces are also easy to clean: simply wipe away stains with glass cleaner, vinegar or a solution of water and dish soap. Regular cleaning will help your splashbacks look their best. Unlike tiled splashbacks, glass surfaces don't have gaps where dirt can accumulate, making them not only quicker to clean but more hygienic overall. 

Bright, varied looks

If you want to help your kitchen look brighter and more spacious, a glass splashback is an ideal way to do it. You can order this versatile material in the colour of your choice. Choose a single-colour pattern or add more visual interest by opting for a printed design. A printed splashback lets you enhance the kitchen's visual appeal with a landscape, a floral design, or any other image you choose. You can even nod to traditional tile splashbacks with a printed tile pattern. If you want to create an even brighter appearance and help make the room look larger, choose mirrored splashbacks. This wide range of different colours and designs makes glass the ideal material for splashbacks. 

Practicality

Glass splashbacks are safe, durable and come in a wide range of different colours and designs. Equally importantly, they're also easy to adapt to your kitchen. Each splashback is custom-made, with glass cut to size. No matter the shape or size of the kitchen, creating a splashback to fit the space is as simple as taking a measurement, deciding on a design and cutting the material. Installation is quick and simple as well, making glass splashbacks a painless addition to your kitchen. 

With their durable construction and customisable appearance, glass splashbacks are a great way to put your own personal stamp on the design of your kitchen and cut down on the effort of cleaning at the same time.
