Would you have the splashback extend onto the little side walls too?
The height will be up to the bottom of the rangehood.

Advise on kitchen splashback / tiles please
Comments (28)Pity you have decided against glass in favour of tiles. We have just done our kitchen and I wanted an easy-to-clean surface for the splash back, so the rough surface of grouting around tiles, and also the indentations on some patterned tiles (which collect grease and grime) ruled them out for me! I went for glass, which the manufacturers matched exactly to the duck egg paint colour on the other walls (just gave them a product code of the paint), and although the initial outlay for the glass was expensive, the surface is so brilliant to keep clean and it looks fab as well. I would definitely recommend, and you could match it to, say, your lovely pink/purple ceiling lights ......See MoreUrgent opinion required re hob position in worktop-continued
Comments (13)The fact is as you say, they are supposed to be the professionals and should think of these things. You are not alone, all too frequently I see rookie mistakes. It would appear that an awful lot of them just don't think! As they are going to do it again - I'd still ask if they can't centralise in the whole space of that wall. Presumably if the hob is over a drawer it can't be thicker than the work top or the drawer would not be of use. Thus you should be able to have the whole thing central to the whole wall not the cupboards below. Thus eradicating the pan problem. I know you can turn the handles to the right, but it doesn't solve the problem, it makes using the right hand rings harder and isn't ideal if you have children as the pan handles should be pushed right to the sides....See MoreMin distance between gas hob and a side wall (no wall cabinets)?
Comments (3)Just had a quick look on the neff website installation download and for a 700 gas hob it says a minimum of 150mm is required between the cutout and a side wall, for a 700 hob the cut out is only 560mm so the hob is wider by 70mm each side, this leaves an 80mm gap between the hob top and a wall. But as stated above, having room for pan handles and space to put a pan down is a good idea. Best to look up the installation instructions for your hob model and see what it says or have a word with a gas safe engineer as you will need one to connect the hob safely....See MoreKitchen wall - splashback?
Comments (40)Ha! Excellent :) sorry but I can’t remember the name and it was the only light grey they had (probably for better as the more choice there is the more diffi it is to make a decision:-)). I recommend you get samples/shop brings bigger samples to put against wall to help you decide. I found this great to test and look at it woth different light etc. I got it as it is glass so it’s low maintenance and since I had it installed I haven’t properly cleaned it haha apart from minor dots from tomato sauce and I just wiped with sponge. Love the practical side ;)!...See More
