6 Ways to BringYour Bathroomto Life WithGlass Splashbacks
Modern bathrooms combine comfort with functionality. In this regard, glass is a superior option to tiles. You can customize glass splashbacks to fit seamlessly with your bathroom's shape and style. And, unlike tiles splash backs, which
attract dirt, bacteria and mould, glass splashbacks are hygienic and easy to clean.
Refitting your bathroom with glass can be a fun and rewarding experience. With a little creativity, and with the help of a reputable glazier, you can turn your bathroom into are laxing and beautiful oasis.
1. Cover existing tiles with a lowiron glass splashback
If you already have a tiled splashback in your bathroom, you might be unsure of whether to keep it. Glass gives you the option to combine a glass splashback with a tiled splashback. Standard glass has a green tint because it contains more iron. But low-iron glass has a much weaker tint, and this makes it clearer than standard glass.
If you decide you don't want to replace your existing tile splashback, then you can simply place a clear glass splashback over it. You'll be able to preserve the look of your tile wall while enjoying the way the light plays over the glass. And your glass splashback will shield the tiles and grout from bacteria, mould and dirt. As a result, your tiles will last longer
2. Combine a lowiron glass splashback with a paintedwall
Glass splashbacks are an effective and attractive way to cover a painted wall. Not only will the glass enhance the colour of your wall, but it will also protect the paint from moisture and other damaging elements in the bathroom. Because low-iron glass is so clear, it is a good choice for a glass splashback when covering paint.
3. Colour-match your glass splashback to a painted wall
Glass splashbacks come in an array of colours. The abundance of colours allows you to colour-match your glass splashback to whatever shade you wish. This is a useful ability when you want to choose a shade that accentuates the shade of your bathroom wall. For instance, if the top of your bathroom wall is black, you can place a white glass splashback below it.
4. Cover your wall art with a matte finish glass splashback
A simple way to protect wall art is to place the glass over it. Your wall art will last longer with the protection of the glass. And you can preserve the view further by choosing a matte finish. A matte finish makes glass non-reflective. This means your view won't be obscured by light reflections.
5. Pair a tinted glass splashback with a framed mirror
To boost the lighting in your bathroom, you can place a tinted glass splashback over the vanity. The tinted nature of the glass will reduce the risk of glare. You can also add a framed mirror to the centre of the vanity. This combination will look stylish while boosting the light in your bathroom.
6. Install a mirrored splashback to boost space and light
Mirrored glass splashbacks are also another great way to boost the light level in your bathroom. You can use mirrored splashbacks to reflect the natural light coming through a window or the light of carefully placed artificial lights.
The other great benefit of mirrored glass splashbacks is that they can make a bathroom look bigger. This is a practical and stylish way to give your bathroom a more spacious feel.
