FAQs
Can this splashback be used behind any type of hob?
Yes, this splashback is designed to be safe behind most electric and gas hobs. Always follow specific installation guidelines and local building codes.
How do I clean the Grey Terrazzo Effect Aluminium Splashback?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the finish.
What tools are needed for cutting the splashback?
For precise cuts, a fine-tooth saw or a sharp utility knife with a metal ruler is recommended. Always measure twice and cut once.
Is this splashback suitable for use near a sink?
Yes, the aluminium construction is water-resistant and suitable for use in kitchen areas, including behind sinks.
Does the 'shell' finish differ significantly from the 'terrazzo' effect?
The product description mentions both a grey terrazzo effect and a shell finish. The 'shell' finish likely refers to a different aesthetic option within the same range, potentially with a pearlescent or lighter hue, whereas the 'terrazzo effect' specifically replicates the look of terrazzo stone.
Do I need a separate heat shield behind the hob?
No, this splashback is specifically designed to be safe behind a hob without the need for an additional plain metal panel or glass covering.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not holding splashback securely
Ensure the wall surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Use a high-quality adhesive recommended for splashbacks and check its curing time. Ensure even pressure is applied during installation.
Scratches or marks on the surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scuffs, try a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Deeper scratches may be permanent.
Difficulty cutting the splashback accurately
Use a fine-tooth saw or a sharp utility knife with a straight edge for cutting. Ensure the material is well-supported during cutting to prevent cracking or bending.
