Who are glass kitchen splashbacks suitable for? 

Toughened glass panels are ideal for use as backsplashes in a range of locations, including but not limited to: 

  • Behind heat sources

Our 6mm heat-resistant safety glass is ideal for use behind hobs, cookers, fryers, etc. 

  • Near sinks 

Keep your walls water-resistant by fitting them instead of tiles behind kitchen or bathroom sinks. Public spaces or businesses could even install them in arts and craft rooms or studios, classrooms, or even hospitals.

  • In shower enclosures or near baths 

Easy to clean, waterproof, and boosting aesthetic appeal, keep clean in more luxurious settings!

Please note, if you want to use a mirrored glass splashback for the brightening aesthetic and mirror functionality, you should install it away from heat sources and potential impacts to prolong its lifespan.

 

Benefits of stainless kitchen splashbacks

Toughened glass kitchen splashbacks offer a range of benefits, such as:

    • Enhanced protection – A glass kitchen backsplash acts as an effective barrier against spills, stains, and heat, helping protect walls and keep them in perfect condition.
    • Improved hygiene – With a non-porous surface, glass kitchen splashbacks make a hygienic option for kitchens, as they prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
    • Increased durability – Glass is resistant to water damage and can withstand exposure to common household chemicals, like bleach, for example, making it one of the most durable options for your kitchen.
    • Easy to maintain – Glass splashbacks are easy to wipe clean and require minimal upkeep to maintain their stunning appearance.
    • Increased light – The reflective quality of glass allows light to bounce through the room, making your kitchen feel much bigger and brighter.
    • Improved visual interest – With a wide selection of styles to suit every interior, glass splashbacks add a surprising amount of texture and visual interest.

Are glass kitchen splashbacks heat resistant?

In line with British Standards (BS EN 12150), our toughened glass splashbacks are heat resistant to 250°C. Compared to non-tempered glass or acrylic kitchen splashbacks, which are likely to crack or even melt from repetitive exposure to high temperatures, heat-resistant tempered glass kitchen splashbacks will hold up against the heat of busy cooking areas.

They are also strong enough to resist knocks and scratches, and easy to wipe clean of food and drink splashes so they don’t form stains. 

However, heat-resistant does not mean fireproof – these glass kitchen splashbacks are not made using fire-rated glass. Equally, the finish can affect the level of heat resistance, which is why products like mirror glass aren’t suitable for use near an oven or hob unless toughened. Toughened low iron glass, instead, is often the best choice for glass kitchen splashbacks.

Can I install a glass kitchen splashback behind a gas hob?

Yes, our toughened glass kitchen splashbacks are safe to install behind a hob area due to their enhanced heat resistance. The tempered glass can withstand heat, steam, and hot liquids up to 250°C. 

Just remember, for gas hobs, which have an open flame, you should fit your glass splashback on the wall, it should be around 100mm from the edge of the hob/stovetop and should never be in direct contact with a heat source. This means your pots and pans also shouldn’t be touching the splashback while you’re cooking.

How much do custom glass splashbacks cost?

The overall cost of your glass splashback will depend on the specifications you choose and the level of customisation required. Different types of glass and extras like pre-drilled holes and cut-outs will cost more than standard transparent glass and will add to the final price.

Compared to other durable kitchen splashback materials, however, such as tile or stone, glass is far more affordable – allowing you to give your kitchen a quick makeover, no matter your budget.

For advice on which is best for you, contact our team, and we’ll advise if glass backsplashes are right for your space.

Are sink kitchen splashbacks a good option?

Splashbacks are also regularly used behind sinks, showers, and baths, instead of tiles, because they are hygienic, non-porous, resist water damage, and are easy to clean. 

If you’d like an alternative solution for your bathroom or wetroom, contact the team today, and we’ll find a solution that works for your domestic or public bathroom.

How to measure for your toughened glass splashback

If you aren’t comfortable measuring with a tape measure, you can use a template made from cardboard, Corex, or MDF, cut to the exact size and shape of your wall area. 

When cutting the template, make sure any cut-outs for sockets are positioned relative to the back plate and always leave a margin of +/- 1mm, which is the industry standard.

What Our Customers Say

Andrew Cooke

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!
