Kitchen Splashbacks Melbourne

Glass is naturally impervious to water, bacteria and grease, so it is already very hygienic, but because of its sleek and seamless surface, with no hard to find nooks or crannies such as those on tiled splashbacks, the glass splashback is also very easy to clean. Some fingerprints or markings on the glass surface may be easily cleaned off with a sponge or a towel.

Glass and acrylic are both extremely durable, but glass is a more heat-resistant material that is less likely to melt or wilt over time. 

Glass splashbacks are inherently more sturdy and scratch-resistant relative to stainless steel and tiled alternatives. On top of that, glass splashbacks are strengthened by a sequence of stringent heating and cooling procedures. Glass is more likely to harbour dust and fingerprints but is very scratch resistant. Scratches show up more on acrylic.

We only use reinforced (or tempered) glass as usual on all of our splashback installations. Toughened glass is five times more impact resistant than non-tightened glass, as a result of which we conclude that hardened glass is the only viable choice for splashbacks.

Another advantage is that it is heat resistant to 220°C and, as a result, it can almost never crack due to heat, meaning that you can cook for hours comfortably without stressing about any harm you might have made to your splashbacks.

Apart from having an improved look, glass splashbacks can also provide the kitchen room with adequate and elegant light reflections.

The art of cooking involves accuracy with respect to the food items to be used and the manner in which they are processed, baked and served. With glass splashbacks, the kitchen can get less shadow and brighter overall lighting. A brighter kitchen suggests the opportunity to save up on light bulbs.

There is a wide variety of colours suitable for glass splashbacks, including a range of premium paints and colours that can be found in the regular colour map. So you’ll definitely find a splashback that suits your decor perfectly and have great fun being creative.  

Although the initial cost of a glass splashback is likely to outweigh the cost of a tiled splashback, the reinforced glass is much harder and more durable than the tiles, and after initial construction, the glass will stay in place for several years to come.

Tiles, though, will need to be re-grouted regularly and re-tiled to stay looking nice over the years, making it a more expensive investment than a glass splashback in the long run.

Glass splashbacks are absolutely versatile and customisable, ensuring custom kitchen designs. This makes GPO positioning and appliance incorporation a breeze, thus opening up other possibilities for a splashback, including kitchen, industrial and corporate uses.
