FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
You must use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks for proper and safe installation.
Can this splashback be installed behind any type of hob?
It can be installed behind most standard hobs and cooktops, but always maintain recommended safe distances and check your appliance's installation manual for specific clearance requirements.
How do I clean the glass splashback?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the glass.
What are the available sizes for this splashback?
The Calista Vale splashback is available in sizes including W600mm x H750mm, W700mm x H750mm, W900mm x H750mm, W600mm x H600mm, W600mm x H650mm, W700mm x H650mm, and W900mm x H650mm.
Is the artwork prone to fading?
The artwork is integrated into the glass with modern printing techniques designed for durability in a kitchen environment, minimizing the risk of fading.
Can I cut or alter the splashback myself?
It is not recommended to cut or alter the splashback yourself, as toughened glass cannot be easily re-worked and doing so may compromise its integrity and safety. Professional alteration services, if available, should be consulted.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not curing properly
Ensure you are using the recommended Clear Natural Curing Adhesive and that application conditions (temperature, humidity) are within the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines. Check for any contaminants on the wall or splashback surface.
Scratches or marks on the glass surface
For light scratches, try a non-abrasive glass polish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If the damage is significant, professional assessment or replacement may be necessary.
Uneven appearance of the artwork
Ensure the splashback was installed on a flat, even surface. Check that no adhesive has seeped through to the front or clouded the glass during installation. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
