Matching worktop and splashback

6 years ago

Is it a no no to have the worktop and a full height splash back matching? I am having a new cream wood painted kitchen and have chosen laminate oak block work tops and a full height splash back to match. The full height splash back will be on two walls. That's the wall with the hob and the other wall has the sink and a 6ft window. I am fed up with tiles and grout and thought this would be a maintenance free option but I am now having doubts that it will look too much. I am also having a light click luxury vinyl floor. There doesn't seem to be that many pictures on line with this look so I am wondering if I have done the right thing.

its a shame that you didn't go for upstands at the time - but its not the end of the World -its personal - but I do not like quartz going up the wall - glass would look much lighter and give a warmer feel to the room Compac is a lovely product So - either do a glass splashback and an upstand in glass - or just put a piece of glass behind the hob and then pain the walls

Hi Simon There is a host of colours to choose from in lighter shades it really depends on what other colours you like and how cream your units are. Take a look at the ones on this link http://www.kitchen-design-ideas.org/granite-countertop-colors-yellow.html It is important you get a sample before and remember that it is a natural product so there will be variations

I was hoping to get £150 which is just the proportionate material cost for that size piece. I had to pay expensive delivery and laser cutting fees on top but I'd have done that anyway so haven't included that in the price :) where are you located? We are in Manchester.

Glass splashback and upstand dilemma

I do like Bushboard products.................the only draw back with the Vista range of splashbacks is that most of them are 9mm thick, which can pose problems when trying to put the faces back on your sockets, as the screws may not reach. It's one of those products, that if you were going to use it, like very thick tiles, then you need to sort out your back boxes to accommodate it. Glass is usually supplied in 4mm like a standard tile, which doesn't give you the knock on problem with the sockets. The long socket screws are only 75mm, so they will not reach if you stick a 9mm product on the wall with adhesive. 6 of their products:- Constellation, Hazy Forest, Inner City Cloud / Ocean Grey, Kaldeidescope Grey / Blue come in 4mm, suitable for a wall. Standard Acrylic sheeting ( from just about anywhere ) is orderable - ( is that a word?) from 3mm up, but of course, may not be suitable for behind a hob. However, we have this in our downstairs shower room, and it's great.

I think it looks fantastic, clean and simple (possibly biased as this is the way I've done it but using Cashmere gloss cabinets and Egger Shorewood-driftwood worktop and splashback). No grout lines, a simple wipe and you're done.
