FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for installation?
You must use 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and curing.
Can I cut the glass splashback to size?
No, the glass is toughened and cannot be cut after manufacturing. Please ensure you select the correct size from the available options before purchase.
How do I clean the splashback effectively?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent or a dedicated glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Is this splashback suitable for behind all types of cooktops?
It is suitable for electric, induction, and ceramic cooktops. For gas cooktops producing open flames, ensure adequate ventilation and heat shielding are in place according to building regulations.
What are the available dimensions for this splashback?
The available sizes are W600mm x H750mm, W700mm x H750mm, W900mm x H750mm, W600mm x H600mm, W600mm x H650mm, W700mm x H650mm, and W900mm x H650mm.
How thick is the glass?

Can I install this myself?
While it can be a DIY project, it is recommended that two people handle the installation due to the weight and size of the glass. Ensure you use the correct adhesive and follow all safety precautions.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not curing properly
Ensure you are using the recommended 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' and have followed the manufacturer's instructions precisely regarding application and curing times. Check for adequate ventilation and ambient temperature during curing.
Streaks or smudges on the glass surface after cleaning
Use a clean microfiber cloth and a suitable glass cleaner. Wipe in a consistent direction (e.g., horizontally or vertically) to avoid streaks. Ensure the cleaning cloth is not overly wet.
Splashback appears loose or unstable
This indicates an issue with the adhesive. Carefully assess the bonding and, if necessary, consult a professional installer. Do not attempt to secure it with temporary fixings.
Print appears faded or damaged
This is rare with proper care. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. If damage is suspected, contact the manufacturer or retailer for advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires careful handling of the glass panel. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks. Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the splashback or the wall according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Carefully position the splashback and press firmly to ensure full contact. Allow the adhesive to cure completely before exposing the splashback to heat or moisture. It is recommended that two people handle the installation due to the weight and size of the glass.
Compatibility: This splashback is designed for use behind kitchen hobs (electric, induction, and ceramic) and sinks. It is not intended for use directly behind gas hobs that produce open flames without adequate ventilation and heat shielding as per local building codes. Ensure the wall behind the splashback is structurally sound to support its weight.
Care: Clean the surface regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the glass or damage the printed design. For stubborn marks, a glass cleaner can be used sparingly. Ensure any liquid that comes into contact with the edges is wiped dry to prevent potential issues.
