Toughened glass splashback in Angus & Dundee

Toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after toughening, so every socket, switch, extractor and window-reveal cut-out is made beforehand. Sockets cannot be moved after the glass is ordered without remaking the panel, so electrical positions need to be final at templating.

Our glaziers remove and refit socket and switch faceplates so the glass can sit behind them, with the power isolated first. Moving or adding sockets, or any other electrical alteration, needs a qualified electrician, ideally before the splashback is templated.

Splashbacks are made from toughened glass because it copes with heat from a hob and with the stress around socket cut-outs far better than ordinary glass. Untoughened coloured glass is more prone to cracking behind a hob or across a cut-out, so we only fit toughened panels.

Glass splashbacks have no grout lines to stain, so cleaning is simply a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid scourers, abrasive creams and sharp scrapers, which can scratch the glass surface and dull the finish over time.

What applies in Angus & Dundee

Building regulations do not usually apply to this type of work, but we confirm anything that does in writing with your quote.

Angus & Dundee has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. Splashbacks sit indoors, so the coast affects them little, but kitchens in damp coastal homes can see condensation on cold external walls. The wall needs to be dry and sound before bonding, and good extraction helps keep edges and silicone clean.

Older rural homes often have uneven solid walls with lime plaster or stone, so the wall may need making flat before glass can be bonded. Where a range cooker is fitted, its heat and clearance needs are checked before ordering.

Choosing your glass splashbacks

Satin finish

Acid-etched glass with a soft, low-sheen face that reduces reflections and glare, useful opposite windows or bright lighting.

Back-painted colour

Toughened glass painted on the back in a matched colour, giving a smooth, glossy finish in almost any shade to suit units or walls.

Clear glass panel

Unpainted toughened glass over a painted wall or feature finish, protecting it from splashes while letting the surface behind show.

Metallic or sparkle finish

Back-painted glass with metallic or fine sparkle effects, adding depth and reflection without the upkeep of polished metal.

Glass Splashbacks in Angus & Dundee: questions

Can a glass splashback go behind a hob?

Yes, provided it is toughened glass and the hob maker's clearances are followed. Toughened glass copes with the heat from a hob far better than ordinary glass, and it is what we fit behind cookers. Some gas hobs need a minimum gap to the wall, so we check your hob's instructions before the glass is ordered.

How do I clean a glass splashback?

Wipe it with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, or a non-abrasive glass cleaner, then buff dry for a streak-free finish. Grease behind the hob comes off easily because there are no grout lines. Avoid scourers, abrasive creams and blades, which can scratch the glass, and do not use cleaners that could seep behind the edges.

What affects the cost of a glass splashback?

The main cost drivers are the total glass area, the number of panels and joints, the number of socket and switch cut-outs, the colour and glass type, and how easy the wall is to reach. Low-iron glass, metallic or printed finishes and shaped panels add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges.

Why does my white glass splashback look slightly green?

Standard glass contains iron, which gives it a green tint that shows through pale back-painted colours, particularly white and cream. Low-iron glass has much less iron, so the colour behind looks close to the painted sample. If you are choosing a light colour, it is worth specifying low-iron glass from the start.
