FAQs
Can I install this splashback behind a gas hob?
Yes, it is suitable for use behind hobs, but always ensure you adhere to the distance requirements specified by the hob manufacturer regarding combustible materials.
Is the material waterproof?
The compact laminate core is highly moisture-resistant, making it ideal for wet zones like sinks, provided the joints and edges are correctly sealed.
How do I remove stubborn stains?
Most stains can be removed with a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner; avoid acidic or alkaline products.
Does it need to be attached to a specific type of wall?
It can be installed over most flat, stable wall substrates, including plasterboard or existing tiles, provided the surface is clean, dry, and level.
Can the material be painted or refinished?
No, the stone-effect finish is a permanent feature of the laminate surface and cannot be painted.
Troubleshooting
Visible gaps between splashback and worktop
Apply a bead of color-matched sanitary silicone sealant to the joint to create a watertight seal.
Surface appears dull or smudged
Clean with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild dish detergent using a soft microfiber cloth.
Difficulties cutting the material during install
Ensure you are using a sharp, fine-toothed tungsten carbide-tipped circular saw blade to prevent chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires the use of appropriate wall adhesives and, in some cases, mechanical fixings depending on the substrate. It is critical to measure the space accurately, as compact laminate can be rigid and requires high-quality carbide-tipped tools for clean cuts. Ensure that all cut edges are sealed with a high-grade silicone sealant to prevent water absorption. For ongoing care, clean the surface with warm soapy water or a mild, non-abrasive kitchen cleaner. Avoid using steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemical agents, as these may damage the stone-effect finish over time.
