The Perfect Fit for Your Kitchen: The Importance of Choosing a Made-to-Measure Glass Splashback

Modern kitchen interior with white cabinets, a gas stove, and a glass vase of white lilies on the countertop.

A made-to-measure glass splashback offers a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics, tailored to your specific kitchen layout and style. Whether you’re looking to improve your living space with a sleek, modern finish or add a vibrant pop of colour, a custom glass splashback is an investment worth making.

What is a Made-to-Measure Glass Splashback?

A made-to-measure glass splashback is a bespoke kitchen feature that is custom-cut and tailored to fit the exact measurements and shape of your kitchen walls. Unlike standard, off-the-shelf options, these splashbacks are designed to suit your specific requirements, ensuring a seamless fit around cabinets, countertops, sockets, and even corners. Similar tiled products often have a lower-quality finish, showing the joints or seals between each tile.

What Are the Benefits of Made-to-Measure Splashbacks?

Precision Fit for Any Space:
One of the key advantages of a made-to-measure splashback is its precision. Because it’s tailored to the exact dimensions of your kitchen, you’ll have a flawless fit, even in uniquely shaped spaces or around tricky fixtures like power sockets. This is especially beneficial for kitchens with irregular layouts, where a standard-sized splashback just won’t do the job.

Customisation:
With a made-to-measure glass splashback, you can choose from an endless array of colours, patterns, and even printed designs. Want a splashback that matches your kitchen’s theme perfectly? Our customisation options allow you to create a kitchen feature that’s truly unique to you.

Seamless Aesthetic:
Because it’s custom-made, a made-to-measure glass splashback provides a clean, seamless appearance. No awkward gaps or misaligned edges, just smooth, sleek glass that enhances the beauty of your kitchen.

Durability:
Glass splashbacks are incredibly durable, especially when made from toughened safety glass (more on this later). They are resistant to heat, water, and stains, ensuring they maintain their beauty over time.

What Types of Properties Need a Made-to-Measure Glass Splashback?

While any home can benefit from a custom splashback, certain properties will find it particularly essential:

  • Older Homes: Older properties often have walls that aren’t perfectly square, meaning standard splashbacks won’t fit seamlessly. Made-to-measure splashbacks can be cut to accommodate these irregularities, providing a snug fit.
  • Luxury Apartments & High-End Homes: In high-end kitchens where the focus is on premium finishes and seamless design, a custom splashback is key. It allows for the personalisation that standard options simply don’t offer, ensuring the kitchen meets your exact design aspirations.
  • Small Kitchens: If your kitchen has limited wall space, you need to maximise every inch. A made-to-measure splashback can fit perfectly within tight spaces, adding both functionality and visual appeal without wasting any room.
  • Unusual Layouts: Kitchens with non-standard layouts, such as L-shaped counters, U-shaped kitchens, or kitchen islands, benefit immensely from custom splashbacks. They can be shaped precisely to fit these unique configurations.

The Importance of Toughened Safety Glass

When choosing a made-to-measure glass splashback, safety is just as important as style. That’s why it’s crucial to opt for toughened safety glass. This type of glass is heat-resistant, shatterproof, and up to five times stronger than regular glass. It’s our recommended option for several reasons:

Heat Resistance: In a kitchen environment, splashbacks need to withstand the high temperatures of stoves and ovens. Toughened glass is heat-resistant up to 400°C, making it perfect for installation behind your hob or cooker.

Shatterproof Safety: In the unlikely event of breakage, toughened safety glass doesn’t shatter into dangerous, sharp shards. Instead, it crumbles into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

Scratch Resistance: Toughened glass is highly resistant to scratches, ensuring your splashback looks pristine even after years of heavy use.

Custom L-Shaped and Rectangle Shapes

Kitchens come in all shapes and sizes, and so do our glass splashbacks. Whether you have an L-shaped kitchen that requires a custom corner fitting or a rectangular space with precise dimensions, made-to-measure splashbacks can be tailored to meet your needs.

L-Shaped Splashbacks: These are perfect for kitchens with cabinets that need to be cut around and factored into the overall layout of your glass splashback.

Rectangular Splashbacks: Ideal for more straightforward kitchen layouts, these can be customised to fit exactly between your appliances, factoring in sockets and other cut outs as needed.

Maintaining Your Made-to-Measure Glass Kitchen Splashback

One of the greatest benefits of a made-to-measure glass splashback is how easy it is to maintain. The non-porous surface of the glass makes it resistant to stains, grease, and watermarks, meaning a quick wipe with a cloth is usually all that’s needed to keep it looking spotless.

For more stubborn marks, such as those caused by cooking splashes, a mild detergent, such as washing up liquid, and warm water will do the trick. Unlike tiles with grout lines, there’s no need to worry about scrubbing at hard-to-reach crevices, as the seamless surface of glass ensures it remains hygienic and easy to clean, even in the busiest of kitchens.

Measure & Fit Service

When ordering made-to-measure kitchen glass splashbacks, one common concern is how they will fit within your kitchen. At Colour2Glass, we provide an expert glass measuring and fitting service, ensuring that the installation is just as flawless as the splashback itself.

Once you place an order, one of our professional fitters will visit your home to take precise measurements for your splashbacks. This process can take a few hours, depending on the complexity of the glass shapes required and the number of pieces needed for your project.
