WHAT THICKNESS GLASS DO YOU USE FOR YOUR GLASS SPLASHBACKS?
We use 6mm low iron, toughened glass with polished edges.
We only recommend 6mm for glass splashbacks, it offers more strength than 4mm when transporting and anything thicker than 6mm can effect the clarity of the finished product on the rear of the glass.
If you require thicker/thinner glass than 6mm please let us know and we will do our best to help.
HOW DOES MY SPLASHBACK GET FIXED TO THE WALL?
We use silicone adhesive to glue your splashback to the wall our adhesive is tested and forms part of your glass splashback warranty
Alternatively we can add holes in your glass splashback and use black, gold, chrome or satin mirror screws, this wouldn’t be our first option, as it distracts from the smooth perfect finish of the glass.
IS YOUR GLASS SAFE TO BE USED BEHIND A HOB?
All our splashbacks are safe to be used behind induction/electric hobs. If your splashback is going behind a gas hob then we recommend only using on of our toughened glass splashbacks, which is safe to be used behind any hob.
CAN GLASS SPLASHBACKS GO OVER TILES OR EXISTING SPLASBACKS
Yes, as long as the surface is solid and not falling off the wall, we can normally go over anything.
HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?
We except payment by Card, Bank Transfer, Cash or Chq, for template and installation, a deposit is due during the template and the remaining balance is due straight after installation. For supply only, payment in full will be needed at the point of order.
CAN YOU CUT SHAPED PIECES?
Glass Splashbacks can be curved or shaped to accommodate cooker hoods, curves etc. We can shape our glass splashbacks into any size within 3000mm x 1800mm
CAN I HAVE HOLES OR CUT-OUTS IN THE GLASS?
Yes. Glass Splashbacks can be cut in to allow for sockets, holes or shaping to a extractor. The accuracy of these is vital because we cut prior to toughening and once toughened the glass can not be altered in any way.
CAN I USE MY OWN IMAGE ON A PRINTED GLASS SPLASHBACK?
Yes. We can print your own image directly onto the glass, however a high resolution file is required to ensure a quality print. If you’re unsure about the quality of the file, please send it to us and we will advise you.
CAN I PICK ANY PAINT COLOUR FOR MY SPLASHBACK?
Yes. we pretty much match all paint brands, all we need is the brand name, description and code if one is available, we cannot match colours that you have had scanned and mixed at the paint desk in your paint suppliers.
IS MY SPLASHBACK MADE IN UK OR IMPORTED?
All our splashbacks are manufactured in the UK and meet the requirements of the latest UK glass rules.
CAN YOU SHIP THE SPLASHBACK OUTSIDE THE UK MAINLAND?
Sadly no, we don’t offer glass splashbacks outside of the UK.

Please note that an additional fee is required for glass panels over 3000mm in length due to the weight and size and transportation costs.
HOW STRONG AND SAFE IS TOUGHENED GLASS?
Toughened Glass has got a very high breakpoint and can withstand high temperatures. In the unlikely event the breakpoint is reached it shatters instantly to small safer pieces.
Toughened or tempered glass is physically and thermally stronger than regular untoughened glass. Toughened glass is processed by a controlled thermal treatment which increases its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards, we also prefer to use toughened glass, as kitchen glass splashbacks are exposed to knocks and heat from your hob.
DO WE HAVE A SHOWROOM?
Yes, our showroom is in Maghull, Liverpool and is Appointment Only, if you would like to book in, then please get in touch via our web chat or call and we will get you booked in for a time and day that suits you.
