Can I cut or drill a printed gradient glass splashback myself if needed?

Generally, it is strongly NOT recommended to cut or drill a tempered glass splashback, especially one with a printed design. Tempered glass is specifically treated for strength, and any attempt to cut or drill it after the tempering process can cause it to shatter.

What are the absolute "do nots" or critical mistakes to avoid when DIY-installing glass splashback

-Incorrect Measurements: Failing to measure accurately is the most common mistake. Double, triple, and even quadruple-check your dimensions. Remember to account for any potential obstructions or unevenness. Ordering glass that is too small or too large will lead to significant issues. -Using the Wrong Adhesive: Employing an adhesive not specifically designed for glass or incompatible with your wall surface can result in poor adhesion, slippage, or even damage to the printed layer. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations. -Applying Excessive Force: Glass, even tempered glass, can crack or break under excessive pressure, especially if there are any underlying imperfections on the wall. Apply gentle, even pressure when positioning the splashback. -Ignoring Safety Precautions: Always wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from sharp edges and potential chemical irritants in adhesives and sealants. -Attempting to Cut or Drill After Tempering: As mentioned before, this is a major safety hazard and will likely shatter the glass and ruin the print. All necessary cuts and drill holes must be done by the manufacturer before the glass is tempered and printed. -Rushing the Process: DIY projects often go wrong when rushed. Take your time with each step, from measuring to applying adhesive and sealing. Allow adequate drying time for the adhesive before removing any temporary supports.
