Why Choose Glass Splashbacks
Splashbacks are a diverse and modern feature in the home. Commonly found in the kitchen,
they are essentially one large glass tile that works to protect the wall behind the glass surface.
With a range of colours, patterns and finishes to choose from, your splashback will not only
provide a practical function but will complement the rest of your room beautifully; matching your
current interior design.
What Should I Consider?
It’s important to take your time when choosing your splashback, as there are many things to
consider to make sure you end up with exactly what you wanted.
Colour
Our customers can choose their desired colour from the RAL colour chart. With plenty of
variation in shades, you don’t have to worry about not finding the right one!

colours of the RAL colour chart.
We also offer a colour matching service if you’d like your splashback to match your walls or
kitchen cabinets exactly!
Toughened
Be aware that the glass going directly behind the hob needs to be toughened. The rest of the
splashback can be regular, untoughened glass if you wish.
How To Measure Up?
Once you’ve chosen the splashback you’d like, you just need to take a few measurements
which will enable us to provide a quote and supply the exact size and shape you need.
If you require supply only, these will be the measurements we refer to when cutting the glass. If
you are having a supply and fitting service from us, then we will send out one of our glaziers to
take secondary measurements, once the job has been agreed – just to make sure we have
100% accurate measurements to work with!
Maintenance & Upkeep
It’s imperative to factor splashbacks into your regular cleaning regime – luckily, glass
splashbacks are one of the easiest materials to keep clean!
Step 1 First, remove any grease or fatty deposits using a damp sponge. Remember to pay particular attention to behind the hob, as this is where most of the grease and fat will build up.
Step 2 Using a streak-free glass cleaner, spray over the glass and leave for 1-2 minutes, then thoroughly wipe clean using a lint-free cloth. We do NOT recommend using any abrasive or hard-cleaning pads or cloths, as these could scratch the glass. Likewise, you should never use any harsh solvents either.
Commercial Splashbacks
As well as around the home, splashbacks have proven very popular amongst the commercial
sector too. Instrument Glasses have been working closely with local businesses for over 50 years,
forming lasting relationships with companies throughout various sectors.
A splashbacks long-lasting and hygienic properties make them an excellent option for
restaurants and bars, whilst their premium appearance lends them perfectly to high-end shops
and spas.
