What Are the Benefits of Installing Glass Splashbacks in Your Kitchen?
But, what exactly are glass splashbacks? Over the years, they have become more popular, yet is this an overhype? Continue reading and find out why you should consider glass splashbacks in your kitchen.
What is a Glass Splashback?
A splashback is a panel made out of durable material, mounted on the wall behind appliances such as cookers or sinks. It does what it says on the tin; protecting the wall from any potential splashes. The kitchen panel splashback can protect not just the walls from splatter, it can also defend the walls from overheating. Especially on walls behind heated appliances. Glass splashbacks are the preferred choice for these instances, as glass is a strong material that has good thermal resistance and is less likely to shatter.
Though primarily they are found in kitchens, you can also include splashbacks in bathrooms. Don’t you just hate getting water splashed on your mirror after washing your hands? Having a splashback solves this problem, ensuring that any splashes that occur can easily be wiped off.
Low Maintenance
Installing a glass splashback is a great way to remain tidy in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. This is because glass is naturally resistant to water and other organisms such as bacteria, meaning that any splatter marks will not stain and can be cleaned easily.
Also, a splashback can be made of toughened glass, which means that they are more resistant than other materials. Placed behind a hob, the material will protect the wall from splashes such as hot grease or oils from frying.
Design Versatility
Glass splashbacks offer a wide range of colours and sizes, ensuring that at least one design will suit your kitchen’s aesthetic. They can easily be integrated into kitchen designs with coloured glass and different textures. Prints and graphics can be incorporated in a splashback, changing the entire design and look for your room. Though, if your aesthetic is minimalistic, we recommend solid colours like black or grey.
You can also have mirrored splashbacks as an option. These can optimise space and make it appear larger than it actually is. Also, these will work functionally in bathrooms on walls behind taps. Much like regular sinks, the mirrored splashback will allow you to see your reflection, whilst still being easy to clean. For more information on our glass splashback services, click here.
