FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
You must use a Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks. This ensures a strong, safe bond without damaging the glass or the artwork.
Is the glass safe if it breaks?
The splashback is made from 6mm toughened glass, which is significantly stronger than standard glass. If it does break, it is designed to shatter into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of serious injury.
Can I cut the splashback to a custom size?
No, the splashback is pre-manufactured to specific sizes and is made of toughened glass. Cutting toughened glass requires specialized equipment and techniques and should not be attempted at home, as it can cause the glass to shatter.
How do I clean the splashback daily?
For daily cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth to avoid streaks.
What is the warranty period?
The splashback comes with a 1-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Can I install this behind a gas hob?
Yes, the toughened glass is suitable for use behind gas or electric hobs, provided there is adequate ventilation and it is installed according to manufacturer guidelines and local building regulations.
What are the dimensions of the splashback?
This specific model (CV00012-P448) has dimensions of H:75.0 x W:70.0 x D:0.6 cm. Other sizes are available in the Calista Vale range.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not bonding properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that you are using the correct 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' and that it has not expired. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's application instructions precisely.
Scratches appearing on the surface
While the surface is scratch-resistant, avoid using abrasive cleaning tools (steel wool, scrub brushes) or sharp objects directly on the glass. Clean gently with soft cloths.
Image appears distorted or discolored
Ensure the splashback was handled carefully during installation and that no damage occurred. Check lighting conditions in the kitchen; some color variations can occur with different light temperatures. Contact customer support if a manufacturing defect is suspected.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks
For tough spots, try a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. If necessary, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner designed for kitchen use. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires careful attention. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically recommended for glass splashbacks. Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the splashback according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Carefully position the splashback, applying gentle, even pressure. Allow the adhesive to cure fully before placing items against the splashback.
Compatibility: This splashback is designed for direct wall mounting in kitchen environments. It is compatible with most standard wall types when using the correct adhesive. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the glass. Avoid installing near open flames or excessive direct heat sources that exceed the glass's tolerance.
Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface or the printed design.
