Kitchen Splashbacks

Yes. “Splashback” and “backsplash” refer to the same product and perform the same essential function. Both are designed to protect kitchen walls from grease, stains, and splashes created during cooking, particularly behind hobs and worktops. Glass splashbacks are a stylish alternative to tiles, offering a smooth, modern surface that helps transform the kitchen into a clean, open space. As a visual feature, they complement cabinets, worktops, and appliances while improving overall functionality by making walls easier to maintain.

Yes. Many customers choose to install their kitchen splashbacks themselves or pass them to their builder or fitter. Fusion Glass Ltd supplies made-to-measure glass splashbacks only, ensuring panels are cut accurately and ready for fitting on delivery. You can opt for adhesive fixing or pre-drilled holes, depending on your preference and wall type. We provide clear specification details so you can ensure the splashback thickness, cut-outs, and edges are correct before installation. This approach gives you flexibility while keeping the process simple and cost-effective.

Accurate measuring is essential to ensure the splashback fits correctly and performs as intended. Taking time at this stage helps avoid delays and improves the final result. To measure correctly: • Take multiple measurements across the width and height, as walls are rarely perfectly straight. • Use the shortest measurement and allow a 2mm expansion gap on all sides to ensure the glass can sit safely once installed. • Measure carefully around sockets, switches, and extractor fans, noting their position clearly. • Use spacers during fitting to keep the glass correctly positioned before sealing. • If unsure, you can send a simple diagram with dimensions so we can check the specification before manufacture. Correct measuring helps ensure the splashback complements your kitchen design and delivers the practical benefits glass is known for.

Glass splashbacks are chosen for their ease of maintenance and for everyday kitchen use. With simple care, they will continue to look great for years. To keep your splashback in top condition: • Clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. • Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could mark the surface. • Dry after cleaning to prevent streaks and water marks. • Wipe spills promptly, especially around the cooking area. • Avoid impacts near edges or cut-outs. These steps help ensure long-term performance while preserving the splashback’s appearance as a key kitchen feature.

To meet safety guidance, a glass splashback should be positioned at least 5cm away from a gas hob. This spacing helps manage direct heat exposure and protects the glass from thermal stress. Selecting the correct glass thicknesses and proper positioning helps improve durability and support long-term performance. If you are unsure which specification to choose, our team can advise on suitable options before manufacture.
