Material Options: Tempered Glass vs. Plexiglass

Choosing the right material for your kitchen splashback depends on your specific needs, kitchen layout, and aesthetic preferences. We offer two exceptional options, each engineered for different applications and performance requirements.

Feature Tempered Glass 6mm Plexiglass 5mm
Maximum Size 160 x 120 cm 300 cm width
Heat Resistance Up to 200°C Not heat resistant
Weight Heavier, requires secure mounting Lightweight, easier installation
Scratch Resistance Highly scratch resistant Scratch sensitive (repairable with polish)
Edge Finish Polished edges included Clean-cut edges
Budget Premium option Budget-friendly alternative
Clarity Guarantee Permanent clarity 30-year clarity guarantee

Tempered Glass 6mm: Premium Performance

Our tempered glass option represents the gold standard for kitchen splashbacks. The 6mm thickness provides substantial durability while the tempering process creates a surface that's significantly stronger than standard glass. Heat resistance up to 200°C makes it suitable for installation behind electric cooktops and conventional ovens, though it's important to note that it's not recommended for areas directly behind gas burners due to extreme heat exposure.

The polished edges aren't just about aesthetics—they're a safety feature that eliminates sharp edges while creating a luxurious, finished appearance. The scratch-resistant surface maintains its pristine look even after years of daily cleaning and use. When properly installed with recommended adhesive and sealed edges, tempered glass splashbacks create a completely hygienic, seamless surface that's incredibly easy to maintain.

Plexiglass 5mm: Versatile and Budget-Conscious

Our plexiglass splashbacks offer exceptional value without compromising on visual impact. The 5mm thickness strikes an optimal balance between durability and weight, making installation more manageable while maintaining structural integrity. The ability to produce panels up to 300cm wide opens up design possibilities for larger kitchen spaces or continuous runs across multiple wall sections.

While plexiglass isn't heat resistant and requires careful placement away from direct heat sources, it excels in areas where thermal stress isn't a concern. The 30-year clarity guarantee ensures your splashback will maintain its transparency and color vibrancy for decades. Although the surface is more susceptible to scratches than glass, minor scratches can often be buffed out using polishing compound, making it a repairable surface.

Design and Installation Considerations

Successful kitchen splashback installation begins with accurate measurement and thoughtful design planning. We recommend measuring your space multiple times and noting the exact positions of all electrical outlets, switches, and any protruding fixtures. Our production team can accommodate virtually any configuration of cutouts, ensuring your splashback integrates seamlessly with your existing kitchen infrastructure.

For installation, we recommend using Pattex 100% Crystal adhesive, which provides strong, lasting adhesion while remaining invisible behind the transparent material. The crystal-clear formula ensures no adhesive lines or bubbles compromise the visual clarity of your splashback. After installation, sealing the edges with silicone creates a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture infiltration and makes cleaning even easier.

Consider the lighting in your kitchen when selecting your image. Areas with strong backlighting can create stunning effects with translucent images, while areas with front-facing lighting benefit from images with good contrast and detail. Our design team can provide guidance on image selection and sizing to ensure optimal visual impact in your specific space.

Heat Placement Guidelines

Proper placement relative to heat sources is crucial for splashback longevity. Tempered glass splashbacks should maintain appropriate distance from gas burners, even though they can withstand temperatures up to 200°C. For plexiglass installations, ensure adequate spacing from any heat-generating appliances including ovens, toasters, and coffee machines.

Consider installing your splashback in zones where it provides maximum visual impact while avoiding extreme temperature exposure. Areas behind sinks, preparation zones, and along walls adjacent to cooking areas often provide the perfect balance of functionality and safety.

Care and Maintenance

One of the greatest advantages of photo splashbacks is their incredibly low maintenance requirements. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacteria accumulation and makes cleaning effortless. For daily maintenance, simply wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth to remove water spots and light soil.

For deeper cleaning, use standard glass cleaners on tempered glass splashbacks or mild soap solutions on plexiglass. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, particularly on plexiglass surfaces. The seamless surface eliminates the grout lines and crevices where bacteria and grime typically accumulate in traditional tile installations.

Regular cleaning not only maintains hygiene but also preserves the brilliant clarity that showcases your chosen imagery. Unlike other kitchen wall treatments that may fade, stain, or deteriorate over time, properly maintained photo splashbacks retain their original beauty for many years.

Comparing Wall Treatment Options

When considering kitchen wall treatments, photo splashbacks offer distinct advantages over alternatives. Compared to our photo wallpaper options, splashbacks provide superior moisture resistance and cleanability essential in kitchen environments. While photo wallpaper excels in dining areas and living spaces, the kitchen demands the durability that only glass or plexiglass can provide.

Traditional tile installations require ongoing grout maintenance and can harbor bacteria in the joints between tiles. Photo splashbacks eliminate these concerns with their completely seamless surface. The installation process is also significantly faster, often completed in hours rather than days.

For customers who appreciate the visual impact of our glass paintings, kitchen splashbacks offer similar aesthetic appeal with added functionality. The same UV printing technology that creates stunning wall art translates beautifully to practical kitchen applications.

Ordering and Customization Process
