Kitchen glass splashbacks are both functional and aesthetic. Install one, and your kitchen walls will be well protected from any mess during cooking, with the added advantage of looking good.
All this is possible if you get it right with the selection and installation of the splashback. For glass splashbacks, this covers the following, among other elements.
Pick Your Colours
Glass splashbacks are available in all colours, and you will be spoilt for choice. Even if you don't find a ready-made splashback in the colour you'd like, you can always make an order for something bespoke.
You want to make sure the colour on the glass splashbacks fits well with your overall kitchen décor. As such, if yours is a vibrant and very bright décor, you may want to balance things out with a neutral-coloured splashback. The opposite applies, to the effect that a brightly coloured splashback will do well if your kitchen décor as is, is a little towards the dull side.
How much natural light your kitchen gets should also be something to consider when selecting colours. Brightly coloured glass splashbacks are always an excellent choice for kitchens that don't get as much sunlight. The splashback will help to reflect the little light that gets in, which, in turn, helps to open up the kitchen.
Get the Size Right
How cautious a cook are you? How busy is your kitchen? Your answer to these questions will help to inform the size of your glass splashbacks. You want to make sure the splashback is high and wide enough to catch any possible spills. Get the size right and you won't ever have to worry about cleaning up grease or any spills from the wall behind your cooker.
Prepare the Surface
Surface preparation is a very crucial step in the installation process for glass splashbacks. You want to make sure that the wall behind the splashback is level, and that is why you should schedule any necessary wall repairs before the installation.
Similarly, glass is transparent, and any marks and stains on the wall will show through the glass splashbacks. Ensure that you give the wall a good cleaning before installing the splashback. This step is especially crucial if you are installing plain, non-coloured glass splashbacks.
To get the best out of your kitchen glass splashbacks installation, choose the right colour and size, and do not neglect pre-installation surface preparation. Get it right, and you can look forward to enjoying this functional and aesthetic kitchen addition for a long time.
