FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
You must use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
Can I cut this splashback to size?
No, this splashback is pre-cut to specific dimensions and is not designed to be cut. Attempting to cut toughened glass can cause it to shatter.
How do I clean the 'Hunting Polar Bear Watercolour' design?
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive kitchen cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the print or glass.
Is this splashback heat-resistant?
Yes, the splashback is made of toughened glass and can withstand heat up to 400°C, making it suitable for use behind most hobs. However, it should not be exposed to direct open flames.
What are the available sizes for this splashback?
This 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.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The splashback comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Does the splashback come with the adhesive needed for installation?
No, the adhesive is not included with the splashback. You will need to purchase Clear Natural Curing Adhesive separately.
Troubleshooting
Splashback is not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Verify that the correct 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' was used and applied according to its instructions. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.
Visible adhesive marks after installation
If the adhesive is still wet, carefully wipe away excess with a damp cloth. If the adhesive has cured, it may require careful scraping with a plastic scraper or professional cleaning. Ensure adhesive is applied evenly to avoid 'pooling'.
Surface appears dull or scratched
Ensure you are using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. For minor scratches, a specialized glass polish might be considered, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Heat discoloration or cracking
Confirm the splashback is not too close to the heat source (e.g., direct flame from a gas hob). Ensure adequate clearance as recommended by your hob manufacturer. The splashback is rated for up to 400°C, but direct, prolonged exposure to open flames can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth before installation. Use only Clear Natural Curing Adhesive for mounting. Apply the adhesive to the back of the splashback or directly to the wall according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Carefully position the splashback and press firmly. Allow the adhesive to cure fully before exposing the splashback to heat or moisture.
