A Guide to Glass Tile Splashbacks

July 26, 2023
A woman is washing dishes in a kitchen sink.

Whether you need a splashback behind the kitchen or the bathroom sink, glass can be a beautiful and utilitarian option. Not only is there a range of design options, from style to color, available, glass is also a durable material that provides several benefits.


Benefits


A splashback ensures that the walls in a kitchen or bathroom are easy to clean since there is no porous painted surface to absorb moisture and stains. Glass splashbacks are nothing new, but glass provides an attractive alternative to other options.


Low Maintenance


Glass does not absorb stains. Further, its smooth surface makes it easy to wipe clean without the need for heavy scrubbing or harsh cleaning chemicals. The only real concern for glass is from scratching, which is easily avoidable if you do not use abrasive cleansers or scrub brushes. 


Versatile Designs


Glass is available in every color of the spectrum, as well as in silver, bronze or grey mirror.


High Durability


A new splashback is an investment that you likely do not plan to replace very often. Highly durable glass will not break or crack very easily. It can withstand heat, such as when using bench top appliances in the kitchen, as well as heavy cleaning when necessary.


Design Options


Although a splashback's main purpose is to ease cleaning and protect the wall behind a sink or counter, it should also be beautiful. In many cases, the splashback is the first thing you notice in the room. What are the various styles you can implement?


Whole Sheets


Glass splashbacks provide an alternative to tiling. These sheets are made to order before they are installed. The main drawback is that you are limited to a single color and style of glass, but this may not be an issue depending on the design look you are going for in your kitchen or bathroom.
