Classic Splashbacks
Introducing the Classic Splashbacks collection, a curated range of bespoke, made-to-measure glass splashbacks designed to imbue traditional kitchens with timeless elegance and refined simplicity. This collection is perfect for homeowners who appreciate understated charm and a seamless aesthetic, offering a sophisticated backdrop that harmonises beautifully with classic cabinetry and country-style interiors. Explore a palette of refined neutral tones and sophisticated finishes that provide enduring style and practical functionality.
At CreoGlass, we understand that your kitchen is unique. Rather than treating glass splashbacks as standard wall panels, we design and create them to perfectly complement the individual contours and features of your kitchen space. Our bespoke splashbacks can be meticulously crafted to flow around worktops, integrate seamlessly with cabinetry, accommodate sockets, navigate corners, and frame extractor areas, ensuring a truly integrated and polished look that standard panels simply cannot achieve.
Opting for a bespoke, surveyed, and installed splashback from CreoGlass offers a distinct advantage over purchasing a standard-size DIY product. Our service ensures a perfect fit, precise integration with your kitchen's architecture, and professional installation. In contrast, DIY splashbacks require you to take precise measurements and manage the installation yourself, which may not be suitable for complex layouts or for those seeking a flawless, guaranteed finish.
EXPLORE CLASSIC SPLASHBACKS
The Classic Splashbacks collection features a refined selection of finishes designed to enhance the inherent beauty of traditional kitchen design. While the core of this collection focuses on understated elegance, it offers versatile options to suit various preferences:
-
Plain Colour Glass: Experience clean, uniform colour that provides a smooth, neutral backdrop, ideal for creating a serene and cohesive kitchen environment. Available in a curated palette of soft, timeless shades.
-
Matt Finishes: For a softer, more diffused look, our matt glass offers a sophisticated, non-reflective surface that reduces glare and adds a touch of contemporary refinement to traditional settings.
-
Mirrored Glass: Introduce a sense of space and light with our subtly reflective mirrored options, which can help to brighten darker corners and create an illusion of depth.
-
Antique Mirror: Achieve an authentic vintage aesthetic with antique mirror finishes, offering a unique, characterful look with subtle patinas and textures that evoke classic charm.
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR KITCHEN
The selection of your glass splashback should be an integral part of your overall kitchen design strategy. Consider how the chosen finish will interact with your cabinet colours, worktop materials, flooring, and lighting to create a harmonious scheme. The finishes within the Classic collection are particularly well-suited to contemporary, shaker-style, handleless, and dark or neutral-toned kitchens, offering a versatile elegance that complements a wide array of interior styles.
Use the neutral tones and refined finishes of this collection to provide a sophisticated counterpoint to natural wood cabinetry, or to soften the look of darker countertops. These splashbacks act as a refined canvas, allowing other design elements to shine while adding a layer of practical beauty and protective elegance.
WHY CHOOSE GLASS FOR A KITCHEN SPLASHBACK?
Glass splashbacks offer a compelling combination of aesthetic appeal and exceptional practicality, making them an ideal choice for modern and traditional kitchens alike.
-
Smooth, Grout-Free Surface: Unlike tiles, glass provides a seamless, non-porous surface that eliminates unsightly grout lines, preventing the build-up of grease, grime, and mould.
-
Effortless Cleaning: The smooth, monolithic surface makes everyday cleaning remarkably simple – a quick wipe is often all that's needed to restore its pristine appearance.
-
Superior Wall Protection: Glass effectively shields your kitchen walls from splashes, stains, and heat, preserving the integrity and appearance of your décor.
-
Large, Uninterrupted Surfaces: Create expansive, unbroken visual lines that enhance the sense of space and continuity within your kitchen.
-
Versatile Aesthetic Choices: Benefit from a wide array of colours, finishes, and decorative options to precisely match your kitchen's style.
-
Seamless Integration: Glass can be precisely cut and shaped to integrate perfectly around essential kitchen features like sockets, switches, and extractor units.
-
Light-Enhancing Qualities: Reflective and light-coloured glass surfaces can help to bounce light around the room, making smaller or darker kitchens feel brighter and more spacious.
-
Customised Sizing: Each splashback is made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit for any kitchen configuration, no matter how complex.
MADE TO MEASURE
Our bespoke glass splashbacks are manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring they perfectly fit the dimensions and unique configuration of your individual kitchen. Before manufacturing commences, all critical details, including precise dimensions, necessary cut-outs for sockets and switches, corner requirements, and any other specific features, must be accurately established.
For homeowners opting for a professional CreoGlass installation, our comprehensive site survey plays a crucial role. This professional assessment confirms the final manufacturing dimensions, identifies all required cut-outs, evaluates wall conditions, and clarifies any installation nuances, guaranteeing a precise and flawless fit.
SURVEY, MANUFACTURE & INSTALLATION
CreoGlass manages your project seamlessly from initial concept through to final installation, ensuring a stress-free experience.
-
Enquiry & Consultation: Share your kitchen photographs, approximate dimensions, plans, or drawings, along with your preferred finish.
-
Initial Quotation: Based on the information provided, CreoGlass will prepare an initial quotation for your consideration.
-
Site Survey: For installations managed by CreoGlass, a professional survey is conducted to meticulously establish exact manufacturing dimensions, identify all cut-outs, assess wall conditions, and confirm installation requirements.
-
Design Approval: You will confirm the proposed colour, finish, any integrated design elements, or artwork to ensure complete satisfaction.
-
Manufacture: Your glass splashback is then expertly manufactured to the approved specifications.
-
Installation: Our experienced installation team will professionally fit your new splashback according to the agreed project scope.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FINISH
Selecting the ideal finish is key to achieving your desired kitchen aesthetic. Consider the following guidance:
-
Colour Glass: A clean, uniform colour works best when you aim for a cohesive, uncluttered look that acts as a subtle yet elegant backdrop to your cabinetry and worktops.
-
Mirrored Glass: Reflective finishes can dramatically influence the perception of light, depth, and the apparent size of your kitchen, making them ideal for smaller spaces or for adding a touch of glamour.
-
Printed Glass: If you wish for your splashback to be a prominent feature, printed designs, abstract patterns, or photographic images can introduce personality and artistic flair, transforming the space.
-
Decorative & Premium Finishes: Specialist surfaces offer unique textures, subtle metallic effects, or captivating visual movement, adding a distinct layer of sophistication and tactile interest.
COLOUR MATCHING & SAMPLES
We offer a sample service to assist you in selecting the perfect finish for your kitchen. We strongly encourage you to assess samples alongside your actual cabinetry, worktop, and kitchen lighting. Colours and reflective finishes can appear subtly different under varying lighting conditions, and viewing samples in situ is the most reliable way to ensure a harmonious match.
While we strive for accuracy, we do not promise an exact colour match unless the specific finish and manufacturing process explicitly support it. Our aim is to provide a complementary hue that integrates beautifully with your existing kitchen scheme.
SUITABILITY & TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
When planning your glass splashback, several technical factors should be considered to ensure suitability and longevity:
-
Hob or Heat Source Proximity: The glass specification and installation method must be appropriate for its position relative to heat sources. Suitability will be confirmed during consultation or survey.
-
Toughened Glass: For safety and durability, particularly in areas of high use or near heat, toughened (tempered) glass is standard.
-
Socket and Switch Cut-Outs: Precise cut-outs can be incorporated to accommodate sockets, switches, and other services, provided they are technically feasible and confirmed before manufacture.
-
Corners and Returns: Complex angles and returns can be accommodated; specific requirements will be assessed during the survey.
-
Wall Condition: The substrate behind the splashback must be sound and suitable for fixing; this will be checked during a professional survey.
-
Worktops and Upstands: The splashback design must account for existing worktops and any existing upstands or wall features.
-
Extractors and Cabinets: Integration around extractor hoods and wall cabinets is a key feature of bespoke design.
-
Large Panel Sizes: We can produce large, seamless panels, but access for installation will be a consideration.
-
Electrical Provisions: For LED backlit applications, pre-installation electrical provisions will need to be planned.
The specific technical suitability for your project will be confirmed during your consultation or site survey.

Are kitchen glass splashbacks made to measure?
Yes, for our bespoke installation service, all kitchen glass splashbacks are made to measure to precisely fit your individual kitchen. We distinguish this from our standard-size DIY products, which are available in fixed dimensions.
Can glass splashbacks go behind a hob?
Glass splashbacks can be installed behind hobs, but it is essential that the correct glass specification (such as toughened glass) and installation arrangement are used. Project-specific suitability must be confirmed before ordering, especially for gas hobs.
Can you cut around sockets?
Absolutely. Socket, switch, and other required cut-outs can be precisely incorporated into your glass splashback design, provided they are technically suitable and confirmed during the design and survey stages before manufacture.
Do you measure the splashback?
For our professional installation service, yes, our experienced team conducts a detailed site survey to establish the exact measurements required for your bespoke splashback.
Can I order a splashback without installation?
Yes, you can order a supply-only or DIY splashback. In this case, you are responsible for providing accurate dimensions, and we recommend using our DIY collection and guidance for best results.
Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes, we offer a sample service. We highly recommend viewing samples in your kitchen's actual lighting conditions, alongside your cabinetry and worktops, to ensure the best colour and finish selection.
Can you match the splashback to my kitchen?
We can work with various references such as cabinet colours, worktop samples, paint codes, or design references to help select a complementary hue. While we aim for a close match, exact colour replication is dependent on the chosen finish and manufacturing process.
Can you install full-height glass between the worktop and wall cabinets?
Yes, larger and more complex arrangements, including full-height panels, can be accommodated. This is subject to detailed measurements, site access, appropriate glass specification, and a thorough site survey.
