Zinc Splashback 900 x 750mm Wall Tile

There are no grout joints. That means nothing behind a hob for cooking grease and steam to collect in, and a completely seamless surface that wipes clean in one pass.

Visually it also reads as a single plane of colour rather than a grid, which suits a contemporary kitchen. It is the easiest splashback surface to keep clean that we sell.

Glass splashback panels are widely used behind gas and induction hobs, but you must follow the clearances stated by your hob manufacturer — these vary by appliance and are the governing requirement.

If your hob sits tight against the wall or has a high burner output, tell us the make and model along with your measurements and we will confirm whether the panel you are considering is appropriate.

Not on site. Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or notched after it has been toughened — any attempt will shatter the panel.

All cut-outs for sockets, switches and extractors have to be made before toughening, so we need your final, checked measurements and cut-out positions up front. Measure after your worktop and units are fitted, not before.

Onto a flat, clean, dry wall using a neutral-cure silicone or a proprietary glass adhesive, applied in vertical beads so any trapped moisture can escape. Support the panel while it cures.

The wall needs to be genuinely flat, as glass will not follow a bowed surface and will sit proud at one edge. Seal along the worktop junction with a colour-matched neutral-cure silicone rather than grout.

This panel measures 900 x 750mm and is supplied as a single piece of toughened glass, so there is nothing to calculate by the square metre — you either need one panel or several butted together.

Measure the width of the run and the height from the worktop up to the underside of your extractor or wall units, and always measure after the units and worktop are installed rather than working from a plan. Note the exact position of any sockets, switches or extractor cut-outs.

Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or notched once it has been made, so every cut-out has to be specified before manufacture. Send us your measurements and we will check them and confirm whether a standard size fits or whether you need one made to order.
