Italian Splashbacks
Introducing the Italian Splashbacks collection, a curated range of bespoke, made-to-measure glass splashbacks designed to infuse your kitchen with timeless Italian elegance. This collection captures the essence of Italian interiors, drawing inspiration from rich textures, warm colour palettes, and artisanal craftsmanship. It is perfectly suited for homeowners and designers seeking to bring a sense of heritage, warmth, and understated luxury into their kitchen spaces, whether contemporary or traditional.
At CreoGlass, we understand that a splashback is more than just a protective wall panel; it's an integral part of your kitchen's aesthetic. Our approach is to create glass splashbacks that are designed around the unique layout of your individual kitchen. This means each splashback can be meticulously shaped to complement your worktops, flow seamlessly around cabinetry, integrate perfectly with sockets, navigate corners, and accommodate extractor areas, ensuring a flawless finish that respects your kitchen's architecture.
Choosing a bespoke, surveyed, and installed splashback from CreoGlass offers a distinct advantage over standard-size DIY options. Our process ensures a perfect fit, precise detailing, and professional integration, eliminating the compromises often associated with off-the-shelf solutions. This tailored approach guarantees that your splashback is not only functional but also a true extension of your kitchen's design vision.
Explore Italian Designs
The Italian Splashbacks collection offers a principal palette inspired by the diverse landscapes and materials of Italy. Each design is digitally printed in high definition onto low-iron, toughened glass, ensuring clarity and durability. Available finishes within this collection include:
-
Plain Colour Glass: Evoking the clean lines and uniform hues found in classic Italian design.
-
Matt Finishes: Offering a sophisticated, soft-touch surface that diffuses light beautifully.
-
Metallic Finishes: Mimicking the oxidised metals and aged patinas characteristic of Italian artistry.
-
Textured & Decorative Finishes: Inspired by natural materials like marble and terracotta, adding depth and tactile interest.
Designed Around Your Kitchen
The success of your kitchen design lies in the harmonious interplay of its elements. The choice of splashback should resonate with your cabinet colours, worktop materials, flooring, and lighting to create a cohesive interior scheme. Finishes within the Italian collection are particularly well-suited to contemporary, minimalist, or architecturally driven kitchens, where they can act as a subtle yet impactful feature, or to more traditional shaker-style kitchens where they add a touch of rustic charm and warmth.
Why Choose Glass for a Kitchen Splashback?
Glass offers a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and practical advantages for kitchen walls. Its smooth, grout-free surface makes for effortless cleaning, ensuring your kitchen remains hygienic and pristine with minimal daily effort. Glass provides robust protection for your walls against splashes and stains, while its ability to form large, uninterrupted surfaces creates a sense of spaciousness. Furthermore, the wide array of colours and decorative finishes available allows for significant design freedom, and bespoke sizing ensures seamless integration around essential kitchen features like sockets and appliances. The reflective and light-enhancing qualities of certain glass finishes can also dramatically brighten and enlarge a space.
Made to Measure
Each bespoke glass splashback is produced to the exact dimensions and configuration of your individual kitchen. Precision is paramount; dimensions, cut-out requirements for sockets and switches, corner details, and any other specific features must be accurately established before manufacturing commences to ensure a perfect fit and finish.
Survey, Manufacture & Installation
Our streamlined process for professionally installed splashbacks ensures a smooth journey from concept to completion:

-
Design Approval: You confirm the final colour, finish, and any specific design elements.
-
Manufacture: Your custom glass splashback is precision-manufactured to the approved specifications.
-
Installation: Our expert team professionally fits the splashback, completing your kitchen transformation.
Choosing the Right Finish
Selecting the ideal finish from the Italian collection can enhance your kitchen's character. A clean, uniform Colour Glass works best when you seek a straightforward, elegant statement that complements existing elements without overpowering them. Metallic Finishes can introduce depth and a subtle shimmer, ideal for spaces where you want to play with light and create an impression of aged, sophisticated charm, reflecting the kitchen's surroundings to add perceived space. Textured & Decorative Finishes offer opportunities to introduce tactile interest and visual storytelling, bringing the organic beauty of materials like marble or terracotta into a durable glass format, making the splashback a focal point.
Colour Matching & Samples
We offer a sample service to help you make the best choice. We strongly encourage you to assess samples in your kitchen, viewing them against your actual cabinetry, worktop, and under your kitchen's specific lighting conditions. Colours and finishes, especially reflective ones, can appear quite different depending on the ambient light.
Suitability & Technical Considerations
When planning your glass splashback, several factors are important for suitability and successful integration. The glass specification will be confirmed based on its position relative to heat sources, such as hobs, to ensure safety and durability. Precise cut-outs for sockets and switches can be incorporated, and the design must account for any necessary corners or returns. Wall condition, existing worktops, upstands, extractors, and cabinets will all be considered during the survey to ensure a seamless installation. Large panel sizes and access for installation are also key considerations, and any specific electrical provisions for features like LED backlighting would be discussed during the consultation or survey phase.

We offer two primary routes to suit your needs. Our Bespoke Survey & Installation service is for customers who desire a complete, hassle-free experience where CreoGlass handles all aspects of measuring, manufacturing, and fitting your splashback. Alternatively, our DIY / Supply Only option is for customers who are confident in providing accurate measurements and undertaking the installation themselves.

Are kitchen glass splashbacks made to measure?
Yes, our bespoke glass splashbacks are made precisely to the dimensions of your kitchen. This is distinct from standard-size DIY products, where customisation is limited.
Can glass splashbacks go behind a hob?
Glass splashbacks can be installed behind hobs, provided the correct toughened glass specification and installation arrangement are used. Project-specific suitability will be confirmed during consultation or survey.
Can you cut around sockets?
Absolutely. Socket, switch, and other necessary cut-outs can be expertly incorporated where technically feasible. These must be confirmed accurately prior to manufacture.
Do you measure the splashback?
For our professionally installed bespoke projects, a detailed site survey is conducted by our team to establish the exact manufacturing dimensions and installation requirements.
Can I order a splashback without installation?
Yes, you can opt for our supply-only or DIY route. In this case, you are responsible for providing accurate measurements for manufacture.
Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes, we provide a sample service. We recommend viewing samples in your kitchen's actual lighting to best assess how the finishes will appear.
Can you match the splashback to my kitchen?
We can work with cabinet colours, worktops, paint references, or design inspirations to guide your selection. While we aim for close matches, exact colour replication cannot always be guaranteed without specific process support.
Can you install full-height glass between the worktop and wall cabinets?
Yes, larger and more complex installations, including full-height panels, can be accommodated. This is subject to precise measurements, site access, the chosen glass specification, and a thorough survey.
