Although smoothly plastered walls are a dream for our installations, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY. A wall condition of no lumps and no sharp residue is usually sufficient for a splashback installation. A splashback will go from a high point to a high point on a wall and sharp protrusions can scratch the back surface of the splashback during the installation. So when removing tiles ensure that all lumps and pointed residue, such as old grout or tile slivers, are removed with the tiles when clearing the wall. In most cases it is not necessary to fill any holes as the splashback will span nearly all cavities.

Unfortunately not as you will cause the splashback to shatter like a car window. As we use toughened glass for our splashbacks to ensure durability and heat resistance, it is necessary to cut all holes prior to the glass being toughened and then painted.

Glass100 Coloured Glass Splashbacks use Category A Toughened Safety Glass, the same type of glass that can be used in oven door windows. Whilst the glass is heat resistant it is necessary to avoid extreme heat on the glass, such as flames lapping the glass from a wok burner, as extreme heat can cause the painted surface of the glass splashback to burn and/or blister. The painted surface of the glass splashback is the surface that gets glued to the wall.

Glass100 manufactures, supplies and installs splashbacks with a comprehensive 5 year warranty. Glass100’s GW Glass Splashbacks feature Category A Toughened Safety Glass on all pieces large enough to be processed by the toughening furnace, Glass Activated Paint for superior paint adherence and guaranteed colour retention on our Painted Glass Splashbacks, as well as machine finished edges and cutouts to eliminate glass distortion associated with hand cutting glass stresses.

Glass100 Standard Splashback Deposit is 50%. The deposit is required prior to production of the splashback with the balance being due on installation.
