Animals Printed Splashbacks - DIY
Introduce a touch of the wild into your culinary space with our Animals Printed Splashbacks collection, designed exclusively for the DIY enthusiast. This range features stunning, high-definition wildlife imagery printed onto durable, toughened glass, offering a unique and striking focal point for any kitchen. Perfect for homeowners looking to infuse personality and natural charm into their interiors without the need for professional installation, these splashbacks transform ordinary walls into vibrant works of art.
Bespoke Kitchen Glass Splashbacks
At CreoGlass, we understand that your kitchen is unique. Unlike standard wall panels, our glass splashbacks are conceived to integrate seamlessly with your individual kitchen layout. We meticulously design each panel to accommodate existing worktops, cabinetry, sockets, and architectural features, ensuring a perfect fit and a flawless finish. This bespoke approach, even for DIY products, means your splashback becomes an integral part of your kitchen's design, rather than an afterthought.
Opting for a DIY splashback from our collection offers a distinct advantage for those who prefer hands-on customisation. While a professionally surveyed and installed splashback guarantees a perfect fit measured by experts, our DIY range empowers you with pre-defined sizes and simple installation methods. This allows for significant cost savings and the satisfaction of a project completed by your own hand, provided you can measure accurately and follow straightforward fitting instructions.
Explore Our Range of Animals Printed Splashbacks
Our Animals Printed Splashbacks collection showcases a diverse array of natural themes, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into your home. Available designs include:
-
Plain Colour Glass: While our focus is on prints, the underlying glass offers a smooth, pristine base.
-
Printed Designs: Featuring high-definition imagery of everything from elegant stags and soaring birds to majestic wildlife silhouettes and playful animal patterns.
-
Metallic Finishes: Some designs may incorporate subtle metallic inks to add depth and shimmer to the artwork.
-
Premium Decorative Finishes: Utilising advanced printing techniques for enhanced detail and visual impact.
Each design is rendered using CreoGlass® high-definition print quality on toughened glass, ensuring vibrant colours and sharp detail that last.
Designed Around Your Kitchen
The choice of a splashback plays a pivotal role in defining your kitchen's aesthetic. Our animal prints can act as a bold statement piece, complementing neutral cabinetry and worktops, or they can harmonise with more rustic or country-style themes. For contemporary kitchens, a minimalist wildlife silhouette can add an unexpected artistic touch. Consider the overall scheme: whether your cabinets are dark or light, handleless or traditional shaker, these designs offer versatility. The reflective qualities of glass can also enhance your kitchen's lighting, making the space feel larger and more inviting.

Made to Measure
Our Animals Printed Splashbacks are produced to specific dimensions, allowing you to select the size that best fits your designated wall space. For the DIY range, it is crucial that you establish the exact dimensions, including any necessary cut-outs for sockets, corners, or other features, before placing your order. Accurate measurement is key to achieving a professional-looking result and ensuring the splashback integrates perfectly.
Survey, Manufacture & Installation
For our DIY collection, the process is streamlined for ease of installation by the customer:
-
Enquiry & Quotation: Select your desired animal print design and provide the required dimensions.
-
Design Approval: Confirm your chosen design, size, and any specified cut-outs.
-
Manufacture: The glass is precisely cut and printed to your exact specification in our UK facility.
-
Delivery: Your custom splashback is securely packaged and delivered ready for your DIY installation.
For customers seeking a full-service solution, we offer bespoke surveying and installation for non-DIY ranges, ensuring a professional finish from start to finish.
Choosing the Right Finish
When selecting an animal print for your kitchen splashback, consider the overall atmosphere you wish to create:
-
Printed Glass: Ideal for making a bold statement. Whether you prefer the grandeur of a stag, the grace of a swan, or the playfulness of woodland creatures, these designs transform your kitchen into a unique gallery. They work exceptionally well in kitchens that embrace a maximalist style or as a singular, artistic feature wall.
For illuminated effects or a truly bespoke fit, explore our other specialist collections which may offer LED backlighting or custom design services.
Colour Matching & Samples
We understand the importance of visualising a finish within your own kitchen. While exact colour matches to specific paint references are not always feasible for printed designs, we encourage you to assess any available samples alongside your actual cabinetry, worktop, and lighting. Colours and reflective finishes can appear distinct under different lighting conditions, so viewing samples in situ is highly recommended to ensure your chosen animal print harmonises perfectly with your kitchen's ambience.
Suitability & Technical Considerations
When planning your DIY installation, several factors require consideration:
-
Position Relative to Hob or Heat Source: Our toughened glass is heat-resistant. However, for gas hobs, ensure adequate clearance or consider a cooker hood to protect the print from direct, intense heat and grease splatter.
-
Toughened Glass Requirements: All our splashbacks are made from toughened safety glass, meeting stringent safety standards.
-
Socket and Switch Cut-Outs: Precision cut-outs for sockets, switches, and other fixtures can be incorporated. These must be accurately measured and specified prior to manufacture.
-
Corners and Returns: If your installation involves corners, please specify the type of corner (e.g., internal, external) and provide accurate measurements.
-
Wall Condition: Ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and stable to provide an adequate fixing base for adhesive.
-
Existing Worktops and Upstands: The splashback will typically sit on the worktop or an existing upstand. Measure accordingly.
-
Extractors and Cabinets: Account for the space taken by extractor hoods and the positioning of wall cabinets.
-
Access for Installation: Ensure you have sufficient space to manoeuvre and fit the splashback panel.
For any specific technical queries related to your unique kitchen project, we advise consulting our team or referring to detailed installation guides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are kitchen glass splashbacks made to measure?
Yes, our bespoke ranges are made precisely to your measurements. This Animals Printed Splashbacks collection, however, offers specific sizes for DIY installation, allowing you to choose the best fit for your space.
Can glass splashbacks go behind a hob?
Toughened glass splashbacks are suitable for placement behind most hobs. For gas hobs, ensure adequate clearance from direct heat and consider using a cooker hood to protect the print and glass from grease and extreme temperatures. Project-specific suitability should always be confirmed.
Can you cut around sockets?
Certainly. Precision cut-outs for sockets, switches, and other required fixtures can be incorporated into your splashback design. These must be accurately measured and clearly indicated before manufacture.
Do you measure the splashback?
For our professionally installed bespoke projects, a professional site survey is conducted to establish exact manufacturing dimensions and installation details. For the DIY range, customers are responsible for taking their own accurate measurements.
Can I order a splashback without installation?
Yes, the Animals Printed Splashbacks collection is supplied without installation, catering to the DIY market. You will be responsible for measuring and fitting the splashback yourself.
Can I see samples before ordering?
We offer a sample service for many finishes, allowing you to view colours and textures in your kitchen's actual lighting conditions. We strongly recommend this to ensure the best match with your cabinetry and worktops.
Can you match the splashback to my kitchen?
We can work with cabinet colours, worktop samples, or design references to help you select a complementary animal print. While exact colour matches to paint shades may not always be achievable for printed designs, we guide you towards harmonious choices.
Can you install full-height glass between the worktop and wall cabinets?
Yes, full-height splashbacks are a popular choice. Our bespoke services can accommodate larger and more complex arrangements, subject to accurate measurements, site access, and appropriate glass specification confirmed during a survey.
