TOUGHENED GLASS KITCHEN SPLASHBACKS
Toughened glass is heat-resistant and stands up to grease and spills, making it conveniently low-maintenance.
It’s common to install splashbacks behind sinks or hobs, so it makes sense to use highly resistant toughened glass to protect the walls in these areas, which is why we manufacture ours to specifically withstand environments like these.
Our bespoke glass kitchen splashbacks provide the perfect eye-catching feature to transform your cooking space, whilst also protecting your walls from splashes, moisture, and stains.
We manufacture each of our made-to-order splashbacks to the highest standard, so they’re safe and suitable for use in all domestic kitchens.
Tempered glass splashbacks are the ultimate luxury addition for sophisticated kitchens, and we believe we offer the best products here at Express Toughening.
So say goodbye to discoloured walls and stressful cooking messes, and say hello to one of our durable and beautiful safety glass kitchen splashbacks.
CUSTOM GLASS SPLASHBACKS
Our splashbacks are available in a selection of shapes, sizes, and finishes. All options, with the exception of mirror splashbacks, are available in 6mm – 15mm thick toughened glass and finished with polished edges as standard.
From fun modern finishes like glitter glass or printed glass to clean and classy mirrored glass* or painted glass, there’s something to suit every individual’s taste.
Using the easy online ordering tool below, you can choose from our range of popular colours and prints, upload your own image, or colour-match with your kitchen décor.
We can match colour codes from most major paint brands, including Pantone, Dulux, and RAL, to ensure your colour scheme is visually coherent.
Or, if you would like your glass splashback to really catch the eye, you could opt for a colourful digitally printed image – whether it’s one of our striking photos or art prints, or a high-quality photograph of your own.
Whichever style or finish you decide on, it’s guaranteed to totally transform the look of your kitchen.
If you would like an option that isn’t available through the ordering system below, such as thicker glass or a different finish or shape, get in touch to discuss a truly bespoke glass splashback and our team will do their best to assist you.

DISCLAIMER:
*Please note that while splashbacks can be used anywhere you choose, mirrored glass splashbacks are NOT toughened, and are therefore NOT safe for use behind a heat source.
Only glass that is specified as ‘toughened’ will have heat-resistant properties, so please bear this in mind when selecting your splashback design.
If you require more information about this before placing an order with us, please contact our team for further guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are glass kitchen splashbacks heat resistant?
In line with British Standards (BS EN 12150), our toughened glass splashbacks are heat resistant to 250°C. While non-tempered glass or acrylic kitchen splashbacks 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.
The 6mm thick toughened glass is also strong enough to resist knocks and scratches, and easy to wipe clean of food and drink splashes so they don’t form stains. Not only are they an attractive additional element of décor for any modern kitchen, but they’re also extremely practical, making them a cost-effective investment for a simple kitchen makeover.
However, you should bear in mind that 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 is often the best choice for glass kitchen splashbacks.
Can I install a glass kitchen splashback behind a gas hob?
The toughened glass kitchen splashbacks we manufacture at Express Toughening 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 – but it’s best not to install the glass too close to the hob.
Especially for gas hobs, which have an open flame, the 6mm glass splashback on the wall should be around 100mm from the edge of the hob/stovetop. It should never be in direct contact with a heat source – so your pots and pans shouldn’t be touching the splashback while you’re cooking.
Splatters of hot food and condensation from steam are inevitable, but you should try to wipe it away as soon as possible rather than letting it build up. Highly pigmented foods and liquids can stain, so this is important for preserving the kitchen splashback’s appearance as well as its integrity.
Can I order a custom glass kitchen splashback design?
Of course you can! By using our online order tool below, you can select the glass finish, dimensions, shape, and extra features that you want for your bespoke glass kitchen splashback. We offer several set shapes for glass splashbacks, such as double rakes and reverse Ts, because more complex shapes can be impractical and compromise the overall integrity of the piece.
However, you can request extra measures to customise your kitchen splashback even further. You can add dubbed corners or radius corners, drilled holes or notches, and internal cut-outs if you need to accommodate fittings like electrical sockets and cooker hoods. If you’d like to request a quote or check the viability of custom glass splashback cut-outs, please contact us.
One of the most creative ways to customise a glass kitchen splashback is to choose your own image to be digitally printed behind the glass. We offer six set designs for printed glass splashbacks, which include stunning marble-effect, imitation brick, and nature prints. However, you can also provide your own digital image, as long as the resolution allows a high-quality scaled print and you have permission to use it. Get in touch if you need to check the image size and format requirements.
What are the benefits of glass splashbacks?
The biggest advantage of glass kitchen splashbacks over alternative materials is their versatility. They may be ‘just’ a sheet of glass on the surface, but the various finishes available provide a wide selection of styles that can suit every interior.
From simple back-painted colours to detailed digital prints, glass splashbacks can add a surprising amount of texture and visual interest to an otherwise bland room. That’s why they’re the perfect option for updating a tired kitchen or bathroom design with relatively little effort!
Not only can they blend in well with most other materials, regardless of the type of worktops, walls, or flooring you have, but the glass will also reflect light – making even small kitchens or bathrooms feel much brighter and bigger.
Toughened glass splashbacks are also extremely durable and non-porous, repelling moisture and ensuring that any splashes are easy to wipe away without leaving stains.
Attractive, long-lasting, and hygienic – what’s not to love about our glass kitchen splashbacks?
How much do custom glass splashbacks cost?
Compared to other durable kitchen splashback materials, such as tile or stone, glass is far more affordable – allowing you to give your kitchen a quick makeover, no matter your budget.
While toughened glass splashbacks are, in turn, more expensive than some other materials – such as acrylic or vinyl – these cheaper alternatives do not have the longevity of a robust material like glass, and are not heat-resistant.
When you factor in the long-term costs of maintenance and replacements, glass kitchen splashbacks typically come out on top, offering better value over time.
Not only do glass splashbacks look more attractive than acrylic or vinyl, but they can also be installed easily with very little wall preparation, minimising installation costs with a few simple DIY steps.
Of course, the overall cost of your glass splashback will depend on the specifications you choose and the level of customisation required. Different types of glass cost more than standard transparent glass, and extras like pre-drilled holes and cut-outs will add to the final price.
To get an idea of what different designs you like might cost, fill out the order form with your selections and it will generate a quote. Once you’re satisfied with the design and price, you can add it to your cart and proceed to check out.
Should splashbacks be made of toughened glass?
If you want to order a glass splashback primarily for decorative purposes – such as a stylish backdrop to your kitchen counter or a unique reflective surface behind your bathroom sink area – then it does not necessarily need to be made from toughened glass.
All of our 6mm kitchen splashbacks are made from toughened glass except the mirrored option, so you can rest assured that the product is made from heat-resistant safety glass in most cases.
If you intend to install the glass in proximity to a heat source, such as behind a cooker, then it does need to be toughened to ensure it can withstand higher temperatures.
It’s also not advisable to install non-toughened glass in a frequently used area where it’s likely to be bumped or scratched, as it may be more likely to break.
However, if you simply want to use a mirrored glass splashback for the brightening aesthetic and mirror functionality, you should be able to find a safe position to install it away from heat sources and potential impacts.
