FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
You must use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
Can this splashback be cut to size?
This splashback is pre-sized and designed not to be cut. Cutting toughened glass requires specialized equipment and can compromise its integrity. Please measure your space carefully and select the appropriate size from the available options.
Is the splashback heat resistant?
Yes, the 6mm toughened glass is designed to withstand typical kitchen cooking temperatures. However, ensure proper ventilation and maintain recommended clearance distances from heat sources, especially gas hobs.
How do I clean the splashback?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive household cleaners. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.
What are the available sizes?
The splashback is available in several sizes, including W600mm x H750mm, W700mm x H750mm, W900mm x H750mm, W600mm x H600mm, W600mm x H650mm, W700mm x H650mm, and W900mm x H650mm.
Can I install this splashback myself?
Installation is possible for DIYers with careful attention to detail and the correct adhesive. However, due to the weight and need for precise alignment, professional installation is recommended for best results.
What is the design inspiration?
The design is inspired by Calista Vale's unique digital collage style, which explores themes of identity and perception through fragmented, layered images combining abstract photography with surreal elements.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not holding splashback securely
Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and free of dust. Verify that the correct type of Clear Natural Curing Adhesive for glass was used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. Check that adequate pressure was applied during installation and that the adhesive has had sufficient time to cure.
Scratches or damage on the glass surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor surface scuffs, specialized glass polish might help, but significant scratches may require replacement of the splashback.
Bubbles visible behind the glass
Bubbles are usually caused by trapped air during adhesive application. If minor and superficial, they might be unnoticeable. For significant bubbling, the splashback may need to be removed and reinstalled with proper adhesive application.
Colors appearing faded or dull
Ensure the protective film (if any) has been removed. Check that adequate lighting is present in the kitchen, as the design's vibrancy can be affected by ambient light. Clean the surface to remove any film or residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Installation requires a smooth, clean, and dry wall surface. It is crucial to use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the splashback according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Carefully position the splashback onto the wall, applying gentle, even pressure. Ensure the splashback is level before the adhesive begins to cure. Allow the adhesive to cure fully as per its specifications before cleaning or exposing to heat.
Compatibility:
This splashback is suitable for installation on most standard wall surfaces including plasterboard (with appropriate preparation and adhesive), brick, or tile. It is designed for use behind hobs (electric and gas) and cooktops. However, always ensure there is adequate ventilation and adhere to the minimum clearance distances recommended by your hob manufacturer, especially for gas hobs.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your splashback, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive household cleaners can be used for tougher spots. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring agents, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface and the printed design. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
