Antiqued mirror has been on trend for a few years but cant see it dating but may be wrong! Toughened glass is quite a bit dearer than non, I'm not sure that technically it has to be toughened if it's behind an induction hob just gas, aga due to the type of heat source but you may wish to check with a supplier. I'm having one installed at some point behind my aga however tbh I'm not sure I would in your kitchen as you will see the back of the appliances etc which you may wish to consider? I've got a fan thing on top of my aga and will have to strategically place something behind it! Templating is also quite tricky with cut outs for plug sockets and it's quite expensive for them to come out and measure as there are so few suppliers. If you did opt for tiles you could use an epoxy resin grout, it's non-porous so more or less stainproof.

Hi Minnie
Thank you very much - I've been browsing tiles for a while now but didn't know about the epoxy resin grout. I'm still mixed up as its kate but it's either antiqued mirror or tiles now.

yes, typos as 'late'...
the tile is Oak Apple by FE (same as paint on that wall), the other walls are painted Opal Green.
the white antiqued mirror is a sample from Saligo, a pricey bespoke option where I'd decide the density, pattern, etc of the white. Yes, a bit bogged down on this..

I spoke to them too. The only thing I can suggest is put mirrors there for a few days and see what you think. If you haven't got any you could use you should be able to pick some unframed up ones really cheaply, even the acrylic mirrored panels, just around the microwave height. It should give you a good feel for what you'll see

When mirrored glass is being used as a kitchen splashback it is crucial that toughened glass is used, in order to prevent the mirror from cracking under heat from the stove or from an intricate cut around sockets.
A toughened mirror splashback is special, because not only does it look striking, it also takes a carefully skilled and expert production process. Unlike standard mirrors, ®CreoGlass toughened mirror splashbacks are made from low iron toughened glass. This process is imperative for safety - both in the home and in a commercial environment.
Toughened mirrored splashbacks have a wow factor and can be used as a statement piece. The mirrored surface will also serve to reflect light onto items in the kitchen you want to show off - making your Aga sparkle or showing your range cooker in the best light.

I'm 99.9% going for glass. I'm waiting for a quote to compare. I was always planning coloured glass for the same reason I chose Corian with a seamless upstand - the ease of maintenance. I just had a wobble when looking at the other beautiful choices out there. So many temptations..

@Angela I got my splashback at CreoGlass nearly 4 years ago still looking great :-)
