No, this splashback does not require grout. It installs directly onto the wall using the provided fixing caps.
What are the dimensions of this splashback?
The dimensions are 600mm wide by 250mm high, with a thickness of 4mm.
What tools and materials do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, appropriate screws, and wall plugs for your wall type. A spirit level and measuring tape are also recommended for accurate placement.
How do I clean the brushed copper caps?
The brushed copper caps should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Troubleshooting
Splashback appears cloudy or has water spots.
Clean the glass with a mixture of water and white vinegar, then dry thoroughly with a soft microfiber cloth.
Fixing caps do not feel secure.
Ensure you are using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type and that screws are fully tightened. The wall surface must be perfectly flat for a secure fit.
Glass is chipped or cracked.
This is rare with toughened glass. If damage occurs, contact the retailer or manufacturer for replacement options. Do not attempt to repair.
Difficulty in aligning the splashback with caps.
Double-check that the fixing points on the wall are level and correctly spaced according to the splashback's dimensions.
