Safety First: Why Your Kitchen Splashback Must Be Toughened Glass
Introduction
When choosing printed glass splashbacks for your home, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the options available online. The kitchen is the heart of every home, but it’s also a high-heat zone. This means your wall protection needs to be more than just pretty—it needs to be professional.
At Prestiglass, we believe that high-quality printed glass splashbacks should be a permanent, safe, and beautiful solution, not a temporary DIY fix.
The Danger of Untoughened Glass
If you are placing glass behind a gas hob or an electric cooker, it must be toughened. Standard (non-toughened) glass is simply not designed to withstand the rapid temperature fluctuations that occur in a busy kitchen, especially kitchens with gas cookers.
At Prestiglass, we use high-grade, toughened safety glass that meets EN 12150 standards . This glass is heated and cooled in a controlled process that makes it significantly stronger and more resistant to heat than standard glass. It’s the peace of mind you need when you’re cooking for the family.
Why UV Printing Beats “Sticker” Alternatives
We often see cheaper alternatives on the market—plastic panels or glass with a vinyl sticker applied to the back. Here is why our printed glass splashbacks are the superior choice:
Direct UV Printing: We print directly onto the back of the glass. There is no paper or plastic film to peel, bubble, or catch fire.
Heat Resistance: Unlike stickers, which can melt or discolor behind a hob, our professional UV inks are cured to stay vibrant for years.
Hygienic Surface: Because the print is behind the glass, you have a 100% smooth surface that wipes clean in seconds. No peeling edges to trap grease.
Quality That Lasts (And Looks Stunning)
Choosing a professional, custom-fitted splashback is an investment in your home. Because we use direct-to-glass printing, your design is protected inside the glass unit, meaning it will never fade or wear away.
