Frequently asked questions about kitchen splashbacks
product
A splashback or splashback is a decorative element used in the kitchen to cover the space between the worktop and the wall units. It serves both as protection against splashes and stains and as an aesthetic element to enhance the kitchen. Kitchen splashbacks are often made of materials such as glass, tiles, stainless steel, plastic or special photo wallpaper. They offer a wide range of design options and can completely change the overall appearance of the kitchen.
A kitchen splashback protects the wall from splashes and dirt. It is easy to clean, offers an attractive design option and gives the kitchen a modern look.
Yes, you can glue a kitchen backsplash to tiles. Using neutral and solvent-free silicone is a popular method of attaching the backing to the tiles. It offers good adhesion and ensures a permanent connection. Before you start gluing, you should make sure the tiles are clean and dry to improve adhesion. Also make sure the back panel is well aligned so it fits perfectly. After gluing, you should let the silicone cure according to the instructions to ensure optimal adhesion. Installing a kitchen splashback on tiles is a practical solution to enhance your kitchen and protect it from splashes.
To clean your acrylic glass splashback, you can follow the steps below:
- Step 1: First remove loose dirt and dust from the surface of the kitchen splashback. You can do this with a soft cloth or a feather duster. Make sure you don't use any rough or scratchy materials to avoid scratches.
- Step: Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing warm water with mild dish soap. Use a ratio of about 1 teaspoon of dish soap per quart of water. Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the acrylic glass.
- Step 1: Dip a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth in the cleaning solution and wring it out well so that it is only slightly damp. Gently wipe the surface of the acrylic glass splashback to remove dirt, grease and other contaminants. Be careful not to apply excessive force to the acrylic glass to avoid scratching.
- Step 1: Rinse the kitchen splashback thoroughly with clear water to remove any soap residue. It is best to use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off the residue.
- Step 1: Dry the acrylic glass splashback carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid streaks or water stains. Be careful not to use rough or abrasive cloths to avoid scratching.
It is important to note that you do not use sharp cleaning tools or abrasives as they can damage the acrylic sheet. Additionally, you should avoid cutting or scraping the surface of the kitchen splashback to prevent scratching.
By following these simple steps, you can effectively clean your acrylic splashback and maintain its shine.
Yes, you can use PVC (rigid foam) as a kitchen splashback. PVC foam boards are a popular choice for kitchen splashbacks due to their many positive properties. They are lightweight, durable, water resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for use in the kitchen. PVC foam panels are available in a variety of colors and designs so you can choose a back panel that suits your individual taste and style. In addition, PVC is an affordable material that works well for a budget project. When purchasing PVC rigid foam boards for a kitchen splashback, you should look for good quality to ensure that it can withstand the demands and last a long time.
Yes, you can stick kitchen splashbacks to wallpaper if you use neutral, solvent-free silicone. It's important to make sure the wallpaper is clean, dry, and smooth before installing the kitchen splashback.
However, note that the durability and stability of the backing can depend on various factors, such as the quality of the wallpaper and the surface of the backing.
If the rear wall of the kitchen is made of acrylic glass, aluminum composite or hard foam, these materials are usually light and can be attached to the wallpaper with silicone.
It is advisable to check the splashback manufacturer's instructions prior to installation to ensure it is suitable for use over wallpaper. It's also a good idea to test the wallpaper in a small, inconspicuous spot to make sure the silicone isn't causing damage or peeling the wallpaper.
Keep in mind that removing kitchen splashback from wallpaper can be tricky and may leave marks.
Installation of a kitchen splashback with installation adhesive:
- Thoroughly clean the wall to remove dust and dirt.
- Apply the solvent-free and neutral assembly adhesive evenly to the back of the kitchen splashback.
- Position the backing board in the desired location on the wall and press firmly.
- Allow the mounting adhesive to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The durability of a kitchen splashback depends on various factors such as the material used, the quality of the installation and proper care. As a rule, quality kitchen splashbacks can last for many years without the need for early renewal.
Glass rear panels or those made of stainless steel are usually durable and can retain their appearance and functionality for years. Durability may be slightly reduced for back panels made of plastic or special films, as they can be more susceptible to scratches or wear.
The care of the kitchen splashback also plays a role. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh detergents or scratches can help prolong the life of the backplate.
Finally, it is important to note that individual circumstances and usage conditions may vary, so there is no set lifespan. However, a well-maintained splashback should provide an attractive and functional addition to your kitchen for many years to come.

This special kitchen back wall is imaginative and natural at the same time. The curved tendrils enliven your room and add color. With this kitchen back wall, the kitchen will definitely not get boring so quickly. Follow the black and white tendrils with your eyes and marvel at the fresh green leaves in between.
A lot can be interpreted into this imaginative image. It almost seems as if the wind is rushing through the summer tendrils, causing them to move back and forth. This design harmonizes with both modern and traditional interior styles.
Orchids
The deep red orchids bring color and joy to the kitchen. To make them stand out even better, they shine against a gray background. The strong red tone has a stimulating effect and pleasantly invigorates the senses.
We recommend this kitchen splashback not only if you love looking at flowers. You certainly won't miss how good a mood will come into your four walls whenever you take a look at the orchids.
Cherries
Cherries taste good and are healthy. But have you ever noticed how decorative and beautiful they look? You can bring this natural beauty into your home with our kitchen back wall.

This atmospheric motif is an absolute eye-catcher, and not just for winter lovers.
