Modern or Contemporary kitchen with Mirror Splashbacks looks elegant and stylish. Remember! Only Toughened Mirrors are suitable behind the hob as they are heat-resistant. An ordinary mirror, although cheaper, is not a wise investment and will crack due to the heat! Mirror splashbacks reflect light, making your room feel spacious and bright. In feng shui, mirrors also welcome good energy into the home, depending on the location.
The mirrored surface enhances the kitchen atmosphere. It highlights features like your range cooker or Aga, and it can reflect artwork, sculptures, or flowers. This simple touch increases both appeal and elegance.

Why Antique Mirror Splashbacks Are Making a Return in British Homes?
Antique mirror splashbacks offer more than just visual appeal — they bring warmth, character, and a lived-in charm that suits both heritage homes and contemporary kitchens with classic elements. Their subtly distressed finishes soften harsh lines, reflect ambient light, and pair beautifully with wood, marble, or aged metal fittings.
Unlike highly polished modern mirrors, antique finishes provide texture and depth without glare. They add just the right amount of reflection to open up smaller kitchens or bring richness to larger spaces without overwhelming the rest of your decor.
Built to Last in the Heart of the Home
Each splashback is crafted from toughened safety glass, meeting BS EN 12150 standards for heat resistance and durability. Whether installed behind a range cooker or sink, they won’t warp or crack under pressure. The mirror finish is sealed behind glass, so it won’t peel or discolour over time — and there’s no need to worry about fragile edges or staining grout lines.
Cleaning is as simple as a quick wipe with a soft cloth. No special chemicals or fussy maintenance. And for those who prefer to avoid fingerprints or watermarks, our cleaning guide offers simple techniques to keep your mirror splashback looking as it should.
Designed with Purpose — Fitted with Precision
Every kitchen layout is different, which is why our antique mirror splashbacks are made to measure. Whether you’re cladding a full feature wall or filling a gap between cabinets, the fit is tailored with laser-cut precision. Cut-outs for sockets, switches, or extractor hoods are built into the design — ensuring a clean finish, every time.
You can choose from a range of aged mirror effects including foxed silver, soft bronze, or smoked tints — each one adding a different tone and mood to your space. They're particularly well suited to Victorian homes, barn conversions, and high-end renovations where original charm meets modern performance.

A mirror surface reflects natural and artificial light, making even small kitchens appear brighter and larger. This is especially valuable in apartments or homes with limited light.
Modern, Versatile Design
Mirror splashbacks complement both contemporary and classic interiors. Options such as bronze, grey, or antique toughened mirrors allow homeowners to match different colour schemes and moods.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Unlike tiles with grout lines, a mirror splashback is one smooth surface. This means fewer places for dirt, grease, and mould to build up, making cleaning quicker and more hygienic.
Heat and Moisture Resistant
Toughened mirror splashbacks are designed to withstand heat from stovetops and resist steam, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms alike.
Adds Value to the Home
Because they are visually striking and durable, mirror splashbacks are considered a premium upgrade that can boost property appeal.
Things to Consider Before Choosing a Mirror Splashback
Fingerprints & Smudges: Mirrors can show marks easily, so regular cleaning is needed.
Professional Installation Required: Toughened glass mirrors must be cut to size and installed safely.
Not Always Suitable Behind Gas Cooktops: Some regulations require a clearance or stainless-steel insert for safety.
Expert Tip
Interior designers often recommend mirror splashbacks in open-plan spaces where the reflection can showcase garden views, lighting fixtures, or dining areas—creating a sense of continuity and luxury.
Summary: A mirror splashback is a good idea if you want a combination of functionality, easy maintenance, and visual impact. It works best in kitchens or bathrooms where added light, space, and style are priorities. For long-term satisfaction, choose toughened mirror glass and get it installed by professionals.
Is mirror splashbacks hard to clean?
No, mirror splashbacks are generally not hard to clean. In fact, compared to tiled walls with grout lines, a mirror splashback is one smooth glass surface, which makes wiping away grease, watermarks, and everyday kitchen mess much easier.
Why Mirror Splashbacks Are Easy to Maintain
No Grout Lines – Traditional tiled splashbacks trap dirt and grease in grout, while mirrors eliminate this problem entirely.
Smooth Glass Surface – Most kitchen mess can be removed with a microfibre cloth and glass cleaner.
Stain and Moisture Resistance – Toughened mirror glass resists steam, splashes, and staining better than porous materials.
Cleaning Tips for Best Results
Use a soft microfibre cloth to avoid streaks or scratches.
Apply a standard glass cleaner or a mild vinegar-and-water solution.
Wipe spills promptly to prevent build-up.
For a streak-free finish, polish in a circular motion.
Things to Keep in Mind
Fingerprints & Smudges: High-shine mirrors can show marks more easily, especially in busy kitchens.
Lighting Reflection: Smudges may be more visible under direct lighting, so regular light cleaning is recommended.
Expert Insight
Interior designers often highlight that the low-maintenance factor is one of the main reasons homeowners choose mirror splashbacks over tiles. While they may need frequent light wiping, the process itself is quick and effortless compared to scrubbing grout or textured surfaces.
Summary: Mirror splashbacks are not hard to clean. With their seamless surface, they’re easier to maintain than tiled splashbacks—though they may require more frequent light wiping to keep a polished, streak-free look.
