  • Style or preference
  • Design 
  • Cost-effectiveness 
  • Maintenance needs
  • Lifespan

Design Considerations

You have many options for a kitchen glass splashback as they come in various styles. These are the looks you can choose from:

  • Textures and Finishes

Textures create unique perspectives of depth, colour and movement. It can look very classy and artistic when done right and is a stylish addition to your kitchen. There are three main categories of textures:

  1. Glossy glass with a high reflective quality
  2. Matted glass with a low reflective quality
  3. Frosted glass that blurs images but transmits light

Other than these, you have additional design options: laminated glass, pearled glass, liquid, brick and quartz. 

The Right Kitchen Plan

Once your home’s kitchen plan is finalised, the measurement and fabrication of your glass splashback begin. Remember that once the glass is measured and cut, you cannot make any changes. If you wish to have something altered, you’ll have no other option but to pay for another one to be made. 

So you must carefully decide the final plan and placement of your kitchen components. That should include your cabinetry, counter sockets, switches, hood, hob, backlighting and more. 

In addition, you should have already considered the amount of space between the countertops and the cabinetry you want covered before ordering the glass splashback.
