We offer a wide range of colors with our splashbacks and glass types depending on what your needs are.
With the use of low iron glass, you can get the desired color that you require from either choosing from our samples or supplying a paint swatch.
We can also arrange for mirror splashbacks for something different.
6mm Grey toughened mirror splashbacks, also called tinted mirror or smoky mirror.
Toughened Mirror splashbacks are an affordable and easier way to enlarge the kitchen’s functionality and durability, which creates a sense of spaciousness in your kitchen.
Toughened glass
Toughened glass splashbacks are the most popular splashback choice at the moment, and with good reason. Toughened glass is easy to clean and is available in an almost endless range of colours and prints.
Glass splashbacks in a kitchen need to be toughened, to ensure that they can withstand the heat from cooktops. Toughened glass is a safety glass which, if broken, crumbles into small granular pieces instead of shattering into sharp jagged shards, like regular glass would.
COST: It is possible to buy some standard size pieces of toughened glass for DIY installation from hardware stores for around $200 per square metre. However, it’s unlikely that the sizes will be suitable for your space, and they cannot be cut to size as they are already toughened.
To follow, are a few different toughened glass options.
The first is solid-coloured toughened glass. You can choose almost any colour in the world for your new coloured glass splashback.
COST: Expect to pay somewhere around $400 per square metre, including installation and the creation of a template by a specialist supplier. The template or measurements are taken for these splashbacks on site. Once the glass has been cut to size, it is then toughened, after which it cannot be cut again – so it’s important that the measurements are taken correctly.
If you would like to have holes for power points cut into your glass splashback, expect to pay around $40 per cut-out.
Or, rather than having one solid colour applied to the back of the glass, you can instead opt for the second option, which is to have an image of your choice digitally printed on the back of the toughened glass.
COST: This type of glass splashback will set you back around $750 to $1,000 per square metre, plus approximately $40 for each cut-out that is required in the glass. Again, this includes making template measurements and installation by a glass specialist.
Mirrored glass
Mirrored glass splashbacks are a very popular choice. They really help to open up space by bouncing light and reflections around the room.
The mirror is not clear like your regular bathroom mirror. It has a smokey tint, making it much more appealing for use in the kitchen. The tint can either be a silvery or bronze colour depending on the supplier.
Mirrored glass splashbacks are a safety glass treated in the same way as toughened glass splashbacks, so they are an excellent choice for kitchens and safe for use behind your cooktop.
COST: A mirrored glass splashback will cost you around $450 per square metre, including installation. Again, add $40 per cut-out required for power points.
