FAQs
Is this splashback suitable for use behind a gas hob?
Yes, the splashback is heat-resistant and designed for use behind hobs. However, always ensure there is adequate clearance between the hob and the splashback as per your hob manufacturer's safety guidelines.
How do I clean the glossy surface effectively?
For best results, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
What material is the splashback made from?
It is crafted from toughened safety glass, offering durability and resistance to heat and impact.
Does it come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, the splashback includes mounting hardware. Ensure you have basic tools like a drill and screwdriver if required by the specific hardware provided.
Can I cut the splashback to a custom size?
It is not recommended to cut toughened glass yourself, as it can shatter. The product is typically available in multiple pre-set sizes. Please check available options.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the warranty information provided by the retailer or manufacturer for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.
Will the vibrant colors fade over time?
The design is integrated into the glass, making it highly durable and resistant to fading under normal kitchen conditions and light exposure.
Troubleshooting
Splashback is not sitting flat against the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat and smooth. Remove any imperfections or debris. If the wall is uneven, consider using adhesive spacers behind the splashback during installation.
Difficulty installing mounting hardware.
Consult the specific installation guide provided with the splashback. Ensure you are using the correct tools and that the pilot holes (if required) are drilled accurately into the wall.
Glossy finish appears streaky after cleaning.
Use a clean microfiber cloth and a very small amount of mild, streak-free glass cleaner. Wipe in a consistent direction (e.g., horizontally or vertically) and buff dry with a separate clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Scratches or chips on the surface.
Toughened glass is durable but can still be scratched by sharp objects. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools. Minor surface scratches may be less noticeable on patterned glass. For significant chips or cracks, replacement may be necessary.
