Kiln Splashbacks
Introducing the Kiln Splashbacks collection, a range of bespoke, made-to-measure glass splashbacks designed to bring artisan texture and contemporary performance to your kitchen. This collection features unique, kiln-fired fused glass panels, offering a tactile, three-dimensional surface that creates dynamic light reflection. It is ideal for those seeking an elegant, handcrafted feel with a distinctive edge, moving beyond standard flat finishes to add character and soul to any interior, from modern city apartments to classic homes.
CreoGlass: Crafting Splashbacks Around Your Kitchen
At CreoGlass, we believe splashbacks should complement your kitchen's unique layout, not dictate it. Our glass splashbacks are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing features. We meticulously craft them to fit precisely around worktops, cabinetry, sockets, corners, extractor hoods, and any other architectural elements, ensuring a flawless, bespoke finish that enhances your kitchen's functionality and aesthetic.
Opting for a CreoGlass bespoke, surveyed, and installed splashback means investing in a piece precisely measured and fitted for your space. This contrasts sharply with standard-sized DIY splashbacks, which may require compromise and potentially leave gaps or misalignments. Our service ensures a perfect, professional integration that standard products simply cannot match.
Explore Kiln Splashbacks
The Kiln Splashbacks collection showcases a curated selection of finishes that celebrate the beauty of fused glass. Each panel is unique, featuring subtle variations from the kiln-firing process. Available styles include:
- Artisan fused glass panels with inherent texture and depth
- Unique, non-identical surfaces due to the handmade process
Designed Around Your Kitchen
Selecting the right splashback is integral to your kitchen's overall design harmony. The tactile finishes within the Kiln collection can beautifully complement a variety of cabinet colours and worktop materials. Consider how the interplay of light on the textured glass will interact with your flooring and lighting scheme. These unique surfaces lend themselves exceptionally well to contemporary kitchens that embrace architectural detail, as well as more traditional settings seeking an artisanal, luxurious touch. They offer a sophisticated alternative for handleless or shaker-style cabinetry, providing a focal point that feels both grounding and visually engaging.

Before manufacturing begins, all critical details, including exact dimensions, intricate cut-outs for sockets and switches, corner requirements, and any other specific features, must be accurately established.
For customers opting for professional CreoGlass installation, our comprehensive site survey plays a crucial role. This professional assessment confirms the final manufacturing dimensions, identifies all necessary cut-outs, evaluates wall conditions, and details all relevant installation requirements, guaranteeing a flawless result.

Kiln Fired Fused Glass: The principal feature of this collection, these panels offer a unique, tactile texture and depth. The kiln-firing process creates subtle variations, making each piece inherently individual. This finish works best when you want to introduce an artisan element and a sense of sculptural quality to your kitchen, moving away from uniform, flat surfaces.
Colour Matching & Samples
We offer a sample service to help you make an informed decision. We strongly encourage you to assess any samples alongside your actual cabinetry, worktop, and crucially, in your kitchen's specific lighting conditions. Colours and reflective finishes can appear significantly different depending on the ambient light, ensuring you choose a splashback that looks perfect in your home.
Suitability & Technical Considerations
Ensuring your glass splashback is both safe and suitable for its intended location is paramount. Several factors are considered during the consultation and survey process:
-
Position Relative to Heat Source: The placement of your splashback, particularly behind a hob, requires specific toughened glass specifications and appropriate installation methods.
-
Toughened Glass Requirements: All our splashbacks are manufactured from toughened safety glass, meeting stringent UK standards for durability and heat resistance.
-
Socket and Switch Cut-outs: Precise cut-outs can be incorporated to accommodate existing sockets and switches; their feasibility and placement are confirmed during the survey.
-
Corners and Returns: Complex shapes, including internal and external corners, can be expertly accommodated.
-
Wall Condition: The suitability of the wall for fixing the splashback is assessed to ensure a secure installation.
-
Existing Worktops and Upstands: The splashback design and installation will be planned in conjunction with your existing worktop and any upstands.
-
Extractors and Cabinets: Integration around extractor hoods and under wall cabinets is a standard part of our bespoke design process.

Can glass splashbacks go behind a hob?
Glass splashbacks can be installed behind a hob, provided the correct specification of toughened glass is used and the installation is arranged appropriately. Project-specific suitability and safety requirements must be confirmed before ordering.
Can you cut around sockets?
Absolutely. Socket, switch, and other essential cut-outs can be precisely incorporated into your glass splashback where technically feasible. These details must be confirmed prior to manufacture.
Do you measure the splashback?
For our professionally installed bespoke projects, yes, a professional site survey is conducted to establish accurate manufacturing dimensions and installation requirements.
Can I order a splashback without installation?
Yes, we offer a supply-only/DIY route for customers who can provide precise measurements. In this case, the customer assumes responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of dimensions and for the installation process.
Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes, a sample service is available. We highly recommend viewing samples in your kitchen's actual lighting conditions to ensure the colour and finish are exactly as you envision.
Can you match the splashback to my kitchen?
We can work with references such as cabinet colours, worktops, paint codes, or design samples to guide the selection process. While we aim for a close match, precise colour replication cannot always be guaranteed due to the nature of glass finishes and lighting.
Can you install full-height glass between the worktop and wall cabinets?
Yes, larger and more complex arrangements, including full-height installations, can be considered. These are subject to accurate measurements, site access, the specific glass specification, and a thorough site survey.
