How to Choose the Perfect Splashback for Your Kitchen: A Complete Guide
Choosing the right splashback for your kitchen is a decision that can completely transform the look and functionality
of this heart of the home. Not only does it protect walls from stains and damage, but it also serves as a key decorative element. In this article, we present a comprehensive guide that will help potential customers understand how
to choose the perfect splashback that suits their aesthetic and practical needs.
1. Choosing the Right Material
Selecting the material is the first step in
finding the ideal splashback. Each material has its unique properties:
Glass: Offers a modern and unique look
and easy cleaning, available in a wide range of colours and patterns. Very little or no joins at all.
Ceramic Tiles: A traditional choice with a range of colours and patterns. Many separate pieces, with grout.
Stainless Steel: Perfect for modern, industrial kitchens, not many options available.
Natural Stone: Provides a luxurious look but requires more care in maintenance.
2. Colour and Style
The splashback colour should complement the overall kitchen style. You can choose contrasting colours for a more dramatic/stronger effect or colours that complement cabinets and kitchen countertops for a more subtle look. Some customers also match colour of the splashback with kitchen appliances.

2. Practicality and Maintenance
Consider how easy it will be to maintain the splashback. Glass and stainless steel are usually the easiest to clean, while ceramic tiles may require regular grout cleaning, using a number of chemicals.
3. Budget
Budget is a crucial factor in splashback selection. Materials like ceramic tiles may be more budget-friendly compared to custom glass panels or natural stone, but if you take into account maintenance and durability, glass and stone could be cheaper in longer term.
4. Installation
Professional installation is crucial to ensure that the splashback is securely mounted and looks aesthetically pleasing. Considering installation costs is important when choosing the material.
5. Customization for Space
Splashback can be customized for any space, regardless of its size and shape. It’s worth considering custom solutions that best suit the individual needs of the kitchen. Over 3 metre long kitchen can be fitted with one single piece of glass, without need for any joins.
Summary:
Choosing the perfect splashback for the
kitchen may seem like a complex task, but by considering the above factors, the
process becomes much simpler and enjoyable. The ideal splashback will not only
enhance the functionality of the kitchen but also enrich its aesthetics,
becoming the focal point of the space. Remembering materials, colour,
practicality, budget, and professional installation, you can choose a
splashback that will serve for years, becoming a source of pride in your home.
