FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

You must use 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Using the wrong adhesive can lead to installation failure and damage.

Can I cut the splashback to size?

No, the toughened glass cannot be cut after manufacturing. 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 highly resistant to heat, making it suitable for installation behind most cooktops. Always check your appliance manufacturer's guidelines for minimum clearance distances.

How do I clean the splashback?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe dry with a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks.

What are the available sizes?

Sizes available include W600mm x H750mm, W700mm x H750mm, W900mm x H750mm, W600mm x H600mm, W600mm x H650mm, W700mm x H650mm, and W900mm x H650mm.

Can this splashback be installed over existing tiles?

It is generally recommended to install the splashback on a smooth, flat, and clean wall. If existing tiles are perfectly smooth and level, it might be possible, but professional advice is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and finish.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not curing properly

Ensure you are using the recommended 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' and that the ambient temperature and humidity are within the adhesive's recommended application range. Ensure surfaces are completely dry before application.

Scratches or chips on the glass surface

Contact the manufacturer or a professional glazier for assessment. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Ensure heavy items do not impact the glass directly during or after installation.

Color fading or damage to the print

This is unlikely with proper care. Ensure only non-abrasive cleaners are used. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to harsh UV light if possible, although toughened glass prints are generally very resilient.

Uneven finish or bubbles after installation

Bubbles usually indicate improper adhesive application. This may require professional removal and reinstallation. Ensure the wall surface was smooth and clean prior to fitting.
