Glass splashbacks are a stylish and practical addition to any kitchen, offering a modern look while protecting your walls from spills and splatters. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or building a new one, understanding the process, options, and costs involved can help you make informed decisions. Here’s a comprehensive guide to kitchen glass splashbacks, including how to get an estimate, customization options, and the installation process.
Getting Started: How to Request an Estimate
If you’re considering a glass splashback for your kitchen and want an estimate at this stage, we recommend starting by sharing the following details with us:
- Photos of Your Kitchen: Send us clear photos of your kitchen, including the area where the splashback will be installed. This helps us understand the layout and design of your space.
- Rough Measurements: Provide approximate measurements of the area where the splashback will be placed. This doesn’t need to be exact at this stage but will give us a better idea of the scope of the project.
- Kitchen Design Plans (if available): If you have any kitchen design plans or sketches, feel free to share them. This will help us align our recommendations with your vision.
You can email these details to us at support@royalglass.co.nz, and we’ll provide you with a rough estimate based on the information provided. This is a great way to get an idea of costs before committing to a detailed quote.
For an Exact Quote and Template
If you’re ready to move forward with an exact quote and template, we offer an on-site assessment service. During this visit, our team will take precise measurements, discuss your requirements, and provide a detailed quote. However, please note that there is a call-out fee of $190 + GST, which must be paid upfront. This fee covers the cost of the assessment and is non-refundable, even if you decide not to proceed with the job.
To avoid unnecessary costs, we highly recommend starting the process by emailing us your kitchen photos, design plans, and your goals. This allows us to provide you with an initial estimate and determine if our services align with your needs.
Measurement and Installation Process
- Measurement Timing: Measurements for the glass splashback will be taken only after the benchtop is installed. This ensures a perfect fit and seamless integration into your kitchen.
- Installation Timing: The splashback will be installed before the range hood and stove are installed, allowing for a smooth and efficient process.
Customization Options for Your Glass Splashback
We offer a wide range of customization options to help you create a splashback that matches your kitchen’s design and your personal style:
Glass Types:
- Clear Glass: A classic, transparent option.
- Low Iron Glass: Ideal for achieving a crystal-clear finish, especially when matching specific colors.
- Tinted Glass: Adds a subtle hue to your space.
- Smokey Reflective Glass: Offers a modern, reflective finish.
- Matt Finish Glass: Provides a soft, non-reflective surface.
Color Matching with Resene Colors:
- Our glass can be customized to match any Resene color. We recommend using low iron glass for color matching, as its superior clarity ensures the finish closely aligns with your chosen color.
- Popular Resene color choices include Resene Neutral colors and Metal finish colors. For the best results, consult your kitchen or interior designer for advice on color selection.
Digital Printing:
- For a truly unique design, you can opt for matt glass, smokey finish glass, or low iron glass with digital printing. You can choose from our Shutterstock image library or provide your own high-resolution image.
Upgrading Your Glass Splashback
If you’re looking to elevate your kitchen design, upgrading to features like matt glass, smokey finish glass, or digitally printed glass can create a stunning focal point. The estimated cost for a custom kitchen glass splashback with these upgrades typically ranges between $2000-$4000 + GST, including supply and installation. This investment ensures a unique, high-quality finish that complements your kitchen’s aesthetic.
