FAQs
Is this splashback truly heat-resistant?
Yes, the ALLOY Aurora Gold Kitchen Splashback Panel is crafted from aluminium composite and is fire-resistant, making it safe for installation behind cooking hobs.
How easy is it to clean the Aurora Gold finish?
The finish is very easy to clean. Typically, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient for removing grease and stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I install this splashback myself?
Yes, the panel is lightweight for easier fitting. However, precise cutting requires appropriate tools and care. If you are not comfortable with DIY, professional installation is recommended.
What tools are needed for cutting the panel?
For cutting, you will need a fine-toothed saw suitable for metal/plastic or a sharp utility knife for scoring and snapping. Safety glasses and gloves are essential.
Is this splashback suitable for use near a sink?
Yes, the panel is moisture-resistant and easy to clean, making it suitable for protecting walls near sinks from water splashes.
Can I install this splashback over existing tiles?
It is generally best to install directly onto a flat, prepared wall surface. Installing over uneven surfaces like tiles may compromise adhesion and finish. The existing surface should be smooth and stable if attempting this.
What is the thickness of the panel?
The ALLOY Aurora Gold Kitchen Splashback Panel is 4mm thick.
Troubleshooting
Panel is difficult to cut precisely.
Use a fine-toothed saw designed for metal or plastic, or score deeply with a utility knife and snap carefully. Ensure the panel is well-supported during cutting. Consider professional cutting services for perfect edges.
Adhesive is not holding the panel securely.
Ensure both the wall surface and the back of the panel are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a high-strength adhesive specifically recommended for wall panels and composite materials. Apply even pressure during installation.
Surface appears scratched after cleaning.
Check the cleaning materials used. Ensure only soft cloths and mild detergents were employed. For minor scratches, a specialized metal polish might help restore the finish, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Panel has minor imperfections upon arrival.
Inspect the panel immediately after delivery. Contact the supplier with photographic evidence of any defects before installation. Minor imperfections may be hidden by careful placement or if covered by adjacent elements.
