Material of Backsplash

5 years ago

Beautifully designed and appointed project. I was wondering how the backsplash was executed and in what material and spec. Many Thanks!

Pentalquartz, Super White, Honed. They are in 2cm slab format. There is a small kerf/reveal along each slab to match the cabinetry reveal.

Tiles are one way to introduce some pops of colour in your kitchen. If you are worried about the grout discolouring, use epoxy grout which is more resilient to liquid staining. Also, if you use a coloured grout, discolouration will be less noticeable. If you choose textured tiles with rectilinear edges, grout lines are almost invisible. Using tiles can look more traditional compared to glass or stainless steel. The problem with stainless steel is keeping it looking good. Drip marks and grease are instantly noticeable. Glass is less obvious when splashed. They are both more industrial and modern looking. What about using the same material that makes up your worktop as the splashback? Most manufacturers of manmade worktops also do an 11mm thick splashback and upstand.

Hello...great units...I've just ordered similar in cream (again!). In my last house we used bespoke acrylic sheets as splash back (and behind gas range) and I never had any problems with heat. However, for your own peace of mind you might want to get bespoke strengthened glass cut to size. I painted the inside of the acrylic sheet coral (to match the facing wall and it worked very well. This time I think I will use paper (gift wrap or similar...wallpaper might be too thick) with a small repeat pattern, perhaps a retro design, and paste this to the inside of the acrylic/glass. Affix with mirror screws and seal with clear sealant to prevent steam/condensation, etc... Acrylic is cheap to replace if your design preference changes after a few years.

Is this the upstand for the whole of the worksurface or a splashback behind a sink or hob? If it's the Upstand then i'd match the worktop. For the splashback, then match the type of surface to that of the worktop, ie, if it's gloss stay with gloss, if matt stay with matt. As long as the surfaces are easy to clean then staying within a style will keep the kitchen looking seemless.

We went through the dilemma where we had a splashback installed behind the cooker and back wall units and had initially thought of having an upstand on the window wall... when the materials arrived, we found that the upstand was thicker than the splashback and it actually looked odd and unfinished... We decided to continue the splashback on the window wall, it actually adds interest against the slightly off white-grey walls and looks much better...
