Kitchen splash back / colour

I agree with Cathy on this. Glass splash backs without the wood upstands would look great. I've used a company called Decoglaze for these in the past. They are not the cheapest, but they do a fantastic job. If you choose a light colour for the splash back, you'll need optically clear low iron glass. Otherwise the green hue of the glass will change the colour. For dark colours, you can get away with normal glass. As the glass is going behind the hob, it will need to be toughened. I'm assuming from the photo that the job is electric not gas. Have you got under cabinet lighting? This will enhance the effect of the glass quite a bit.

Saw an article on Apartment Therapy talking about mirrored splashbacks recently. Had some lovely photos featured, I personally preferred the options where the glass is raised up from the hob slightly. Could you maybe get a piece of the upstand cut to fill the gap? Also having it 'framed' by wall either side looks better to me than it spanning the whole space. I've mocked it up to extractor fan level and to ceiling level (I've guesstimated the tile scale but hope it gives you the idea). Personally I prefer the latter in this space as the proportions look better. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/mirror-backsplash-ideas-that-arent-from-the-70s-or-80s-248551

what is the most important aspect when picking kitchen splash back?
Q
Comments (7)
For me the most important thing was how it would "go" with the rest of the kitchen. Also, as I planned the kitchen, I needed to understand how and how well, the splash back would intersect with the extractor, the wall units and the worktop upstand. FWIW I would never have had a printed glass splash back, although we did consider a plain white one. But the style of the extractor meant the splash back needed to be shaped around the extractor unit - not so easy with pre-made glass splash back. My biggest turn off with websites is bad grammar and spelling mistakes. I feel that if a company cannot be bothered to check something as important (and often the first interaction the company has with potential customers) then I would question how careless they would be with my order. I also hate pop ups and distraction on a page. For instance - and I hope you don't mind me commenting on your website - having the phrase "package deals available!" at the top of most product pages is a distraction for someone just looking for a splash back. It looks like it's a trade only thing and it looks a bit down market and a bit Trotters Independent Traders'ish. Perhaps combo offers may be better mentioned on a separate page of "offers" or a small section in the product information that combination/bundle deals of a splash back and worktop are available.

Should the board be cracking behind my multifuel stove?
Q
Comments (8)
@Daisy England As far as I am aware the heat has not been excessive. The needle has remained in the optimal range according to the flue thermometer. @User The installer said it was an appropriate fireboard. @Jonathan Once the installer fitted the board, I painted it with several coats of emulsion. Then once it was fitted I touched up the paint. Looking at it, it appears to be the board that has cracked. @OnePlan (Concept planners) No, it is about 4cm. I really hate complaining, but I have spent a lot of money. I will email the installer and get someone to be with me when he comes out. I'm not sure what can be done about it, now the stove has been fitted? If the installer says the stove installation is fine do I go to Hetas or the local authority? Should I stop using the stove? Also the scaffolding is due to come down this week, do you think it needs to stay up? Thank you again.
