Which is the best type of splashback for you?
Choosing the perfect splashback can impact your budget and the final look of your kitchen. With numerous options available, starting can be overwhelming. Common designs include pressed metal and stainless steel, but tiles and glass are the most popular.
Glass splashbacks offer limitless design options, perfect for a modern kitchen. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and some can even reflect light, making your kitchen appear more spacious.
Cleaning glass splashbacks is easy. They offer a seamless, clean design with no grout lines for mold or grime to grow, requiring minimal effort to maintain.
Installation is quick, taking 1-2 hours. However, it’s not a DIY project and should be done by professionals, resulting in a slightly higher cost compared to tiles.
Despite being strong and durable, glass splashbacks are not prone to cracking, making them ideal for protecting walls from heat, spills, and stains.
Tile splashbacks offer flexible designs and patterns, perfect for adding depth to your kitchen. They are versatile and easily cut, making them suitable for DIY projects.
However, maintaining tile splashbacks can be challenging. Grease and food can get stuck in the grout, requiring regular regrouting and maintenance.
Hiring a professional tiler can save time and ensure proper installation, but it can also increase the overall cost of your renovation.
In conclusion, the choice between glass and tile splashbacks depends on your preferences and needs. For a modern, easy-to-maintain option, choose glass. For a classic, versatile look, opt for tiles.
