Are glass splashbacks heat resistant?
Yes, they are. Our toughened glass splashbacks are manufactured from toughened safety glass designed to withstand the temperatures generated in modern kitchens. When you install them with the correct clearances behind hobs and cookers, they perform reliably under normal cooking conditions. As a result, heat resistant glass splashbacks offer both durability and peace of mind.
Can glass splashbacks go behind gas hobs?
In most cases, yes. However, safe distances between the flame and the glass remain essential. Therefore, we confirm the hob type and positioning before manufacturing your made to measure glass splashback to ensure it is correctly specified and suitable for installation.
Do glass splashbacks crack with heat?
When we manufacture and install toughened glass splashbacks correctly, they resist thermal stress effectively. Consequently, cracking under normal kitchen use is highly unlikely. Proper sizing, appropriate thickness, and correct installation prevent unnecessary pressure on the splashback panel.
How thick should a glass splashback be?
The correct thickness depends on the size of the panel, its location, and how it will be used. Because we produce made to measure glass splashbacks, we specify the appropriate thickness to balance strength, safety, and durability. As a result, your bespoke glass splashbacks meet practical performance standards as well as visual expectations.
How do you fit a glass splashback?
Installers typically bond splashbacks to the wall using specialist adhesive systems. However, the wall surface must be clean, level, and structurally sound beforehand. If you are a trade customer or fitting your own glass splashback, we can provide preparation advice to ensure secure and accurate installation.
How do you fix a glass splashback to tiles or walls?
You can fix splashbacks directly to plastered walls or, in some cases, over existing tiles — provided the substrate is flat and stable. For that reason, we always recommend checking the surface before ordering your made to measure glass splashbacks so the finished panel sits evenly and securely.
How do you clean glass splashbacks?
One of the key benefits of kitchen glass splashbacks is how simple they are to maintain. In most cases, a soft cloth and standard glass cleaner are sufficient. Because there are no grout lines, grease and moisture cannot accumulate as they do with tiled surfaces. Consequently, easy clean splashbacks remain hygienic and low maintenance over time.
What height should a glass splashback be?
Height depends on your kitchen layout and design preference. Some homeowners choose a short upstand behind the hob, whereas others install full-height panels between the worktop and wall units. Since we manufacture bespoke glass splashbacks in-house, we produce them to your exact required height and dimensions.
