If you are considering kitting out your kitchen, you need to ensure that the improvements will benefit your kitchen in two ways. The first is that the improvements will make your kitchen more functional. Secondly, you need to ensure that the improvements will enhance the attractiveness of your kitchen. One of the features that you could consider incorporating in your kitchen that will meet both these requirements is glass splashbacks. Having your kitchen walls bare keeps them from staining and a host of other superficial damage due to the conditions of the kitchen. By investing in splashbacks, you provide the kitchen walls with a protective layer which will function to keep your walls in pristine condition. So what makes glass splashbacks ideal for your kitchen?
Glass splashbacks come in an assortment of colours and sizes
A major benefit of glass splashbacks is that your creativity is not limited to a few colour and size options. Instead you get the chance to customise your glass splashbacks to your specific needs. For instance, if you would like to install the splashbacks in small areas on your wall such as over the sink or your stove top, you can have the glass cut into small measurements designed to only fit these areas. On the other hand, if you would like to make a statement in your kitchen, you can have large slabs of glass installed that will run from one wall to another.
The same applies to your colour options. A misconception that some people have is that glass splashbacks will only be available in clear glass. The reality is you can get an assortment of colour choice ranging from solid coloured glass to splashbacks that have specks of colour in them.
Glass splashbacks do not require intensive maintenance
Since splashbacks are designed to keep your walls free from spills and stains, they will undoubtedly acquire dirt very quickly. Your choice of splashback material is what would determine the amount of maintenance required to keep them spotless. For instance, porous materials such as ceramic may be aesthetically appealing. Nevertheless, they will be susceptible to heavy staining since they will absorb any liquid that they are exposed to. You would have to take extensive maintenance measures such as sealing the splashbacks and ensuring messes are cleaned up immediately to prevent premature staining. Glass splashbacks, on the other hand, are impervious. Therefore, they would be able to withstand the spills they are exposed to without their appearance becoming compromised.
