FAQs
Is the Marble Veneto splashback heat resistant?
While the laminate is durable for typical kitchen use, it is not designed for prolonged direct contact with high heat. Always use trivets or heat pads for hot pots and pans to prevent damage.
How do I cut the laminate splashback to size?
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw designed for laminate. Score the surface multiple times for a clean cut. Always measure twice and cut once, and wear appropriate safety gear.
Can this splashback be installed over existing tiles?
Yes, it can be installed over existing tiles, provided the tiles are clean, dry, securely fixed, and the surface is smooth. Any grout lines should be filled to create a level surface.
What is the best way to clean stubborn stains?
For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda and water. Apply gently, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe away with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Does the matt finish make it hard to clean?
No, the matt finish is designed to be easy to clean. It typically resists fingerprints and smudges better than a high-gloss finish and can be cleaned with standard household cleaning methods.
What are the dimensions of the splashback?
Please refer to the product's specific packaging or retail listing for exact dimensions, as these can vary by product SKU.
Troubleshooting
Laminate appears dull or has light scratches
Clean with a mild soap and water solution. For light surface scratches, a specialized laminate polish may help restore some sheen, but avoid abrasive methods.
Adhesive is not holding the splashback securely
Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared before adhesive application. Use the recommended adhesive type and follow application instructions carefully. Consider using additional fasteners if required by specific installation scenarios.
Visible seam lines between panels
Ensure panels are cut precisely and fitted snugly. Use appropriate seam fillers or trim designed for laminate installations to conceal gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your splashback:
- Wipe spills promptly with a soft, damp cloth.

- Avoid placing extremely hot pans directly onto the laminate surface; use trivets or heat pads.
