Is great wall protection-The job of a kitchen splashback is to protect your walls from splashes, stains and possible damage.

Is hygienic and easy to clean - With the smooth and seamless quality of a glass splashback, cleaning is much simpler, without the need to worry about grout stains or mould.

They do look good and have so much colour choice. The only downfall is the price. While we often supply them a lot of people on a budget find it hard to warrant the cost.

Glass splashbacks, in general, are really functional and good looking
I agree that the only downfall is the price, it is like that because of the materials that have to be imported in a short time frame, moreover, as it is a bespoke product with the minimal margin of mistake.

Fortunately, we turned into glass factory that does everything in-house (Except toughening), so we managed to lower the prices up to 30% to suit budget customers.

Hello, To me it doesn't look too bright at all. But it also depends how is the lighting in your kitchen, surroundings and other colours you have used. Obviously, against a dark colour will look bright. Is this the print you wish to have?

We usually run back-painted glass splashbacks right down to the countertop. As your designer notes the risk of sealant failure between glass and quartz top, the implication is that a quartz upstand would be so short that it could be bonded only to the countertop rather than the wall. As you know, a sealant, usually silicone, needs to accommodate the inevitable differential movement between the countertop sitting on base units and the wall. A gap, usually about 4mm, needs to be left below the glass, the recess backed fully with foam strip (often sold as 'foam rope') and then the mastic applied with a generally square cross section as 'pointing'. All too often, too small (or large or uneven) a gap is left below the splashback and then the silicone is incorrectly applied in a vaguely triangular section tapering off to a featheredge on the faces of the splashback and countertop. This usually fails before long as well as looking unsightly. Even when silicone is correctly applied to an appropriately sized joint, if there's a lot of movement, it often starts to pull away from one edge after several years. It would be interesting to know if anyone has a solution for that.

Hello, We supply LED illuminated glass splashbacks that change colours and many of our clients have put them behind hobs and ranges without a problem. If you want a "plain" glass splashback it is best to make sure that the glass is toughened/safety glass. If you want something different, do have a look at our gallery here on Houzz or our website www.litetile.co.uk

Often we use a simple glass panel behind a hob costing around £180. Used alongside work surface upstands else where this would suit any budget, and you have the practicality where you need it.
