Glass splashbacks in Argyll & Bute: what to know
Splashbacks are templated once the worktops, units and hob are fitted, not from kitchen plans. Worktop heights, wall angles and socket positions often move during installation, and the glass is made to the finished dimensions so edges line up and gaps stay even.
Hob makers set minimum clearances between the hob and nearby wall surfaces, and gas hobs in particular can have specific requirements. We check your hob's installation instructions before ordering so the glass, its cut-outs and any joints sit where the manufacturer allows.
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.
Colours look different on screens, in daylight and under kitchen lighting, so choose from a physical glass sample rather than a website or paint chart. We can match many paint and RAL colours, and a sample panel viewed in your own kitchen avoids surprises.

What applies in Argyll & Bute
Building regulations do not usually apply to this type of work, but we confirm anything that does in writing with your quote.
Argyll & Bute 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.
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.
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.
Glass Splashbacks in Argyll & Bute: questions
How do you match the colour of a glass splashback?
We can match many paint and RAL colours, and the most reliable way to choose is from a physical glass sample viewed in your own kitchen. Colours look different on screens and under different lighting. For pale colours we usually suggest low-iron glass, because standard glass adds a green tint to the painted back.
How long does it take to get a glass splashback fitted?
After templating, made-to-measure splashbacks are usually ready within a few weeks, depending on the colour and finish. Fitting a typical kitchen takes part of a day, and you can normally use the kitchen again once we have finished. The silicone needs time to cure fully, and we tell you how long on the day.
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.
When should my glass splashback be measured?
Your splashback should be templated after the worktops, units and hob are installed and any electrical work is finished. The glass is made to the exact finished dimensions, including socket positions, so measuring from plans or before worktops go in often leads to panels that do not fit and have to be remade.
