Types of splashbacks

Porcelain splashbacks

Porcelain, the ceramic material often used in bathrooms, makes an excellent choice for a splashback as it is non-porous and highly resistant to staining. Furthermore, porcelain is heat resistant and can be placed directly behind cooking areas.

Acrylic splashbacks

An affordable option, acrylic splashbacks come in a huge range of colours in Canada. Acrylic is durable and has the added benefit of not attracting dust. However, it is not as suitable as other options for use behind cooktops.

Tiled splashbacks

Tiles are an excellent choice for splashbacks as they're durable and easy to clean. Tiles are also a great way to introduce a splash of colour or a more eclectic style to your kitchen.

Printed glass splashbacks

Glass is a popular splashback material due to its strength – usually toughened glass is used when it will be near heat – and its easy-clean nature. To really make your splashback pop, consider installing a printed glass splashback, a no-fuss way to introduce a unique feature to your kitchen.

The advantages of high-quality splashbacks

Splashbacks are an important part of your kitchen, laundry, bathroom, or any area exposed to moisture, warmth, or residues. Splashbacks have to be durable and easy to clean as they are often subject to more wear and tear than other parts of the home. High-quality splashbacks are made from the finest materials, meaning they are more durable, highly functional and have desirable aesthetics. For any area of the house that has to contend with both heat and moisture, you should ensure you have the very best solutions available.

How to choose splashbacks that are right for you

The right choice of splashback depends on the style of kitchen you are aiming to create. Acrylic is a good way to achieve a bold pop of colour for an affordable price, whereas porcelain is more minimalist and might suit a modern, sleek design. If you are trying to match your splashback to a pre-existing interior, tile is a very versatile option and can provide a range of aesthetics – from industrial, to kooky, to traditional.

How high should a kitchen splashback be?

A standard splashback height is 60 cm. However, this choice depends on the kitchen where you install the splashback and your desired look. Some people will match the height of the splashback to their cabinets, while others prefer a more narrow strip.

Are splashbacks heatproof?

Some materials are more heat resistant than others, such as toughened glass, porcelain, and tile, which make them ideal for use behind cooktops.

How thick should a splashback be?

In Canada, a splashback tends to be 6 mm thick, but, depending on the material, a thickness between 4 mm and 8 mm can be suitable.

How strong are glass splashbacks?

Toughened glass is generally used for splashbacks behind cooking areas and, as the name implies, is a strong type of glass that is heat and chip resistant.

What tiles are best for kitchen splashbacks?

Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are suitable for splashbacks, both being easy to clean and durable. If you want a range of designs, we suggest ceramics as they can come in an almost limitless range of colours and patterns.
