Made-to-measure glass kitchen splashbacks

How is a splashback made?

Each splashback is cut to the dimensions of your wall, edge-worked (polished edges, corners, socket cut-outs), then toughened: toughened glass becomes five to seven times stronger than standard glazing. For a coloured splashback, the glass is then painted on its back face in our workshops. Glass splashbacks are gradually replacing tiles in the kitchen. In wet areas, such as a shower, made-to-measure enamelled glass is preferred.

Colour applied to the back of the splashback

Several thin coats of paint are applied in a controlled atmosphere to the back face of the glass. The visible face stays smooth: the colour is seen through the glass, which gives it depth and brilliance. The back is then covered with a protective film that prevents scratches during delivery and installation, ensures light shades are opaque and protects the paint from adhesives. This film must not be removed.

A splashback for indoor kitchen use

Back-painted splashbacks are for indoor use only. For outdoor use or a wet area (shower), an enamelled glass splashback is the right solution: its colour is fired into the glass. As for colours, anything is possible: timeless black or white, terracotta, midnight blue, fir green… In toughened glass, a splashback resists impact, scratches and heat, and forms a continuous, joint-free surface that is easy to clean. For a more understated look, choose a matt finish on frosted glass.

What are the advantages of a toughened glass splashback?

Heat resistance: toughened glass withstands temperatures of up to 200 °C and effectively protects the wall behind the hob.
Made to measure to the millimetre: the splashback fits exactly between the worktop and the wall units, around the extractor hood and the cooking area.
Integrated cut-outs: power sockets, switches, fixing holes, corner or edge notches are made before toughening.
Your choice of colour: on clear or low-iron glass, in a gloss or matt finish, from RAL, NCS and Pantone shades; black and white remain the most popular. Metallic glass gives a gold or brass effect that is easier to clean than metal.
For worktops, tables and outdoor use, enamelled glass is recommended: its colour, fired into the glass, withstands daily use, moisture and the weather.

What can a glass splashback be used for?

A glass splashback meets two needs: the safety of toughened glass and complete customisation through colour, shape and edgework.

The different uses of a glass splashback

The kitchen remains its main territory:
Upstand behind the sink or hob, cooker hood splashback, cladding the wall between the worktop and the wall units;
For the top of the unit itself, see our glass worktops;
The same glass can also clad a wall, a niche or the back of a shelf elsewhere in the home.

Frosted glass splashbacks

A glass kitchen splashback in frosted glass combines the elegance of a satin finish with the colour of your choice. Its satin surface eliminates reflections, softens the shade and gives the kitchen a calm atmosphere with a refined finish.

A made-to-measure splashback plays a central role in the design of a kitchen. To make it stand out, contrast between the glass and the other surfaces remains an effective choice. A coloured splashback creates a clear visual anchor against the units or the worktop and marks out the food preparation area. This approach works for a glass kitchen splashback fitted behind the hob, the sink or as continuous panels along the whole wall.

Lighting also makes a made-to-measure kitchen splashback stand out. An LED strip or a light directed onto the glass panel highlights the surface of the splashback and improves visibility in the kitchen. This technique works for a large splashback or for a smaller panel placed behind a specific work area.

Adding useful accessories completes the look. Wall brackets, hanging rails, pots of herbs, hanging utensils or decorative items link the made-to-measure splashback with the overall organisation of the kitchen. This combination creates a coherent whole that meets everyday needs while showing off the glass splashback.
