Glass Kitchen Splashbacks
Product Description
Need a practical and fashionable kitchen upgrade? A tempered glass kitchen splashback, also known as toughened glass, could be exactly what your cooking area is lacking. Whether it’s for a home kitchen or a workplace break room, anyone can benefit from the stunning aesthetic and functionality of glass splashbacks.
Toughened glass is heat-resistant and stands up to grease and spills, making it conveniently low-maintenance. Our bespoke glass kitchen splashbacks are the perfect eye-catching feature to transform your cooking space, whilst also protecting the wall from splashes, moisture, and stains.
Tempered glass splashbacks are the ultimate luxury addition for sophisticated kitchens, and we believe we offer the best products here at Express Toughening Ltd. So say goodbye to discoloured walls and stressful cooking messes, and say hello to one of our durable and beautiful safety glass kitchen splashbacks.
We manufacture each of our made-to-order kitchen splashbacks to the highest standard, so they’re safe and suitable for all domestic kitchens. Since it’s common to install kitchen splashbacks behind sinks or hobs, it makes sense to use highly resistant toughened glass to protect the walls in these areas, which is why we process them specifically to withstand environments like this.
You can even order fittings at the same time to secure your kitchen splashback to the wall when it arrives, including silicone-based glue and dome-head screws. Specialist adhesive is best for creating a seamless look, but if you plan to mount your splashback with screws, remember to specify that you would like drilled holes when you place your order.
Why not make your home or business truly unique by creating a visually impressive focal point with one of our custom toughened glass splashbacks? Scroll down to learn more about our kitchen splashbacks and create your bespoke product below.

*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.

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.
