Factors To Consider When Choosing Glass Splashbacks

Posted on

Splashbacks can be an important addition in your kitchen, especially if you want to prevent stained and dirty walls. When it comes to choosing splashbacks, many homeowners find it daunting owing to the great variety of splashbacks in the market. The following tips will help you choose new glass splashbacks.

1. Location

Think about where you want to place the splashbacks. This will help you take accurate measurements and choose the most suitable colours. You do not have to install splashbacks all around your kitchen. You can place splashbacks in specific areas, like behind appliances like sinks, hobs, kettles, fridges, and microwaves.

Splashbacks are not limited to kitchen spaces — you can also improve the aesthetics of your dressing rooms, bathrooms, offices, and bars with glass splashbacks. For example, splashbacks in an office will keep it more hygienic and cleaner, preventing the chances of illness in the workplace.

2. Material

Your choice of material will affect the cleaning, maintenance, and longevity of the splashbacks. Make sure you choose acrylic for your splashbacks. An internet search will help you establish what is on the material and if it is safe. You must be able to distinguish the different types of acrylics.

Some acrylics are produced from high-quality resins and others from poor quality resins. Low-quality resins affect the durability of the glass splashback. To avoid costly mistakes, consult a professional for help choosing the perfect glass for your splashbacks.

3. Colour

Make sure you install benchtops before choosing splashbacks for your kitchen. The colour of your benchtop will determine the colour of your splashback. For example, if your benchtop has a neutral colour, you can choose a splashback with a feature colour to add some drama to your kitchen.

A rule of thumb is to choose colours that have a similar tone to your benchtop for a consistent look. You may also choose colours that are contrasting or complementary to your benchtop if you are looking to make your kitchen unique and appalling. For example, you can choose a light-coloured tiled splashback in contrast to a darker benchtop.

 

Splashbacks are featured in many modern households in Australia. It is also not unusual to find them in business premises and offices. The benefits of glass splashbacks range from strength to low-cost maintenance. However, to exploit the benefits of splashbacks, you need to be cautious when you go shopping. If you are unsure about your choices, consult a professional for guidance.
