What is a glass splashback?
A glass splashback is a flat panel made from toughened safety glass, usually installed behind stovetops, sinks or benchtops.
Its purpose is to protect walls from splashes, grease and steam and add a contemporary design element to your interior. Unlike tiles which have grout lines that can collect grime over time, glass splashbacks have a smooth, seamless surface that is hygienic and easy to clean.
Splashbacks are fully customisable and can be installed in any colour or finish, including mirrored, printed or frosted glass. Whether you want a bold statement feature or a subtle accent to match your decor, a glass splashback provides a variety of styling options to suit any space.

Glass splashback FAQs
Are glass splashbacks safe to use behind a cooktop?
Yes. All of our splashbacks are made from toughened safety glass which is heat resistant and specifically manufactured to withstand the high temperatures found behind cooktops and stoves. They are compliant with Australian safety standards and suitable for gas and electric cooking areas.
Can I choose any colour for my glass splashback?
Yes. We offer a wide range of standard and custom colours including solid, metallic and mirrored finishes. If you have a specific colour in mind we can match it to popular paint brands or custom palettes so your splashback matches your interior perfectly.
How is a glass splashback installed?
Once your splashback is measured and manufactured, it is carefully installed by our experienced team using high quality adhesive and sealing products. We take precise measurements and include cut-outs for power points, switches or other fixtures so you get a flawless fit and finish. Our installation services also extend to doors and windows so we can provide comprehensive solutions for your home.
Is a glass splashback better than tiles?
Many homeowners prefer glass splashbacks over tiles for their smooth look, low maintenance and hygienic surface. Unlike tiled areas, there are no grout lines to clean or discolour over time. Glass also reflects light beautifully so it brightens up kitchens and bathrooms.
How long does it take from measuring to installation?
The process generally takes 2 to 3 weeks from measure to installation. This allows time for the glass to be toughened, coloured and custom cut to your specifications. We’ll give you a exact timeline during your consultation.
