Glass splashbacks are a stylish and practical choice for modern kitchens, adding a sleek and contemporary look to your space. They are available in a wide range of colors and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your kitchen design. Before installing a glass splashback, it’s important to consider your options carefully. Here, we’ll discuss the benefits of glass splashbacks and provide some tips on how to choose the right one for your kitchen.
Getting a ballpark estimate
When requesting quotes, make sure to inquire about the inclusions in the price. Additionally, keep in mind that the cost will also depend on the type of glass you choose.
Most installers assess your space before providing a quotation. This allows them to accurately measure the area and make provisions for cutting around power points and other elements in the kitchen.
Factors affecting the price
When choosing the type of glazing or glass, consider the following factors. Firstly, the size of your splashback is crucial. Secondly, the number of cutouts required for items like powerpoints and kitchen cabinets should also be taken into account.
How much does a glass splashback cost?
The most affordable option for a glass splashback is a pre-cut one, available in specific sizes. These can be purchased from retailers like Bunnings and Mitre10, designed to fit 600mm or 1000mm wide cooktops.
Moving into this price range, you can enjoy a premium finish that can elevate the look of any kitchen. Furthermore, you’ll have a wider range of colors to choose from compared to a tiled version. Selecting the perfect color might be the toughest decision, as you typically have a color chart to choose from. It’s important to note that the more cutouts you require, the higher the cost will be.
Selecting the right installer
Before hiring an installer or glazier, take the time to ask them the right questions. You want to ensure they are the perfect fit for the job. Some key questions to ask include:
- Are you insured to work in my property?
- Can you provide a written quotation?
- Do you have references I can follow up with?
- Can I see examples of your previous work?
Getting quotes
