4 Reasons to Choose a Printed Glass Splashback

Posted on

Splashbacks can make a fantastic addition to any kitchen since they help protect your walls and make it easier to keep things looking their best. Glass is one of the most popular materials used for kitchen splashbacks. Smooth and non-porous, it's easy to wipe down and hard for bacteria to gain a foothold, and the toughened glass used for splashbacks means durability and longevity are exceptional.

Of course, there's more than one type of glass splashback available, including printed glass splashback. These are made by digitally printing images and colours onto toughened glass, and they offer a wide range of benefits.

Here are just four. 

1. Unique Styling

The most obvious benefit of a printed glass splashback also tends to be the most compelling. You can go for any design you want. That can mean incorporating a wide range of bold colours, using your own image, or even commissioning a custom piece of art. What you end up with can be unique to your property. That's especially attractive if you spend a lot of time socialising as well as cooking in your kitchen and want the room to boast such a central statement piece.

2. Mimic Other Materials

Some homeowners will be drawn to the practical benefits offered by glass splashbacks but want the appearance of another material. The printed glass will be ideal since it can very closely mimic the appearance of less practical materials, including marble and timber. Instead of opting for something bold or unique, you can instead create a backsplash that appears almost identical to one of those other materials.

3. Ideal for Large Panels

Opting for one large glass panel instead of many smaller tiles is often advised for backsplashes since the unbroken surface is easier to keep clean. Printed glass backsplashes work perfectly with that design since they naturally lend themselves to larger images. If you want that large unbroken surface but don't want to have just one colour, printed glass can offer the ideal solution.

4. Hides Marks

Glass splashbacks are ideal for protecting your walls, but they can also become unclean themselves. Of course, they're also very easy to wipe down, but glass can still show up marks quite easily. Printed glass splashbacks help get around this issue since detailed images or a fusion of different colours can mask small marks effectively. As such, a small smudge or drop of food isn't going to show up so easily.
