Underwater Printed Splashbacks: Bring Serene Ocean Depths to Your Kitchen
Transform your kitchen with the captivating beauty of the ocean. Our bespoke, made-to-measure glass splashbacks from the Underwater Printed collection offer a unique way to introduce serene aquatic themes into your home. Featuring vivid, high-resolution prints of marine life, coral reefs, and subtle ocean textures, these panels provide a visually stunning and tranquil centrepiece. This collection is ideal for homeowners seeking a distinctive focal point that evokes calm and curiosity, blending artistic expression with practical kitchen design.
At CreoGlass, we understand that your kitchen is unique, and we craft glass splashbacks to fit its individual contours, not the other way around. Unlike standard wall panels, our bespoke creations are designed to integrate seamlessly with your kitchen's architecture. We meticulously design them around existing features such as worktops, cabinetry, sockets, extractor hoods, and awkward corners, ensuring a perfect fit and a flawless finish. This custom approach guarantees that your splashback enhances, rather than compromises, the functionality and aesthetic of your cooking space.
Choosing a CreoGlass bespoke, surveyed, and installed splashback offers a distinct advantage over purchasing standard-size DIY panels. Our expert process ensures precision, quality, and a perfect integration that minimises potential issues. While DIY options cater to those with precise measurements and installation capabilities, our service provides complete peace of mind from consultation through to final fitting, guaranteeing a professional result tailored precisely to your kitchen's specifications.
Explore the Underwater Collection
The principal visual style within this collection is defined by its high-quality, detailed prints that capture the essence of the underwater world. Available finishes focus on showcasing these intricate designs:
-
Vivid Printed Designs: High-resolution imagery of marine life, coral reefs, and ocean textures forms the core of this collection, offering a unique artistic statement.
-
Toughened, Low-Iron Glass: The prints are applied directly onto premium toughened, low-iron glass, ensuring exceptional clarity that allows the colours and details of the underwater scenes to appear true to life without any green tint.
Designed Around Your Kitchen
Selecting the right splashback is an integral part of your overall kitchen design. The calming blues, greens, and subtle textures of the underwater prints can complement a variety of interior schemes. Consider how these designs relate to your cabinet colours, worktop materials, flooring, and lighting. For example, a vibrant coral reef print might add a striking contrast to sleek, handleless cabinetry in a neutral or dark palette, or a more subdued wave pattern could harmonise beautifully with natural wood finishes in a contemporary shaker kitchen. These designs lend themselves particularly well to modern, minimalist, or architectural kitchens seeking a unique, nature-inspired element.
Why Choose Glass for a Kitchen Splashback?
Glass splashbacks offer a compelling blend of style and practicality, making them an excellent choice for modern kitchens:
-
Smooth, Grout-Free Surface: Unlike tiled alternatives, glass provides a seamless, non-porous surface that is inherently hygienic and easy to maintain.
-
Effortless Everyday Cleaning: Spills and splashes can be wiped away with ease, keeping your kitchen looking pristine with minimal effort.
-
Superior Wall Protection: The durable glass panel effectively shields your kitchen walls from grease, moisture, and heat, preserving their condition behind cooking zones.
-
Creation of Uninterrupted Surfaces: Glass allows for large, expansive panels, creating a sense of spaciousness and a cohesive look without unsightly joins.
-
Wide Choice of Decorative Finishes: Beyond the unique underwater prints, glass offers unparalleled versatility in colour, pattern, and texture.
-
Integration Around Features: Glass can be precisely cut to accommodate sockets, switches, and other kitchen fixtures, ensuring a clean, integrated appearance.
-
Light-Enhancing Qualities: The natural reflectivity of glass can help to bounce light around the kitchen, making the space feel brighter and more open.
-
Bespoke Sizing and Configuration: Each splashback is made to exact dimensions, fitting perfectly into your specific kitchen layout.
Made to Measure
Our bespoke glass splashbacks are manufactured precisely to suit the unique dimensions and configuration of your individual kitchen. Accurate measurements are paramount; details such as exact dimensions, precise cut-outs for sockets and switches, corner configurations, and any other specific requirements must be established with great care before production begins.
For professional CreoGlass installations, the crucial step of a site survey is undertaken. This professional survey meticulously confirms all final dimensions, assesses wall conditions, and finalises installation requirements, ensuring the manufactured splashback will fit perfectly and be installed safely and effectively.
Survey, Manufacture & Installation
The CreoGlass project process is designed for clarity and precision, ensuring your underwater-themed splashback is a perfect fit:
-
Enquiry & Consultation: Begin by sharing photographs of your kitchen, approximate dimensions, any plans or drawings, and your preferred underwater finish.
-
Initial Quotation: Based on the information provided, CreoGlass will prepare an initial quotation for your consideration.
-
Site Survey: If you opt for CreoGlass installation, a professional survey will precisely establish manufacturing dimensions, cut-out locations, wall conditions, and all relevant installation details.
-
Design Approval: You will confirm the proposed print design, colour palette, and any other specific design elements before manufacturing commences.
-
Manufacture: Your glass splashback is then carefully manufactured to the approved specification using state-of-the-art printing and toughening processes.
-
Installation: The CreoGlass installation team will expertly fit your new splashback, ensuring a seamless and professional finish.
Choosing the Right Finish
Within this collection, the primary focus is on the printed underwater designs. The choice lies in selecting the specific aquatic scene that best complements your kitchen's aesthetic:
-
Printed Glass: These designs transform your splashback into a dynamic feature, bringing the tranquillity of coral reefs, the movement of fish, or the serene depth of the ocean directly into your cooking space. Select a print that resonates with your desired mood and visual impact.
While this collection focuses on printed designs, it is printed onto our premium toughened, low-iron glass, ensuring exceptional clarity and durability.
Colour Matching & Samples
We understand the importance of visualising how a splashback will look in your kitchen. While precise colour matching to specific paint references may not always be feasible for printed designs, we encourage you to assess samples of our finishes and print styles. It is highly recommended to view these samples in your kitchen under your actual lighting conditions. Colours and the appearance of reflective or textured finishes can change significantly depending on ambient light, cabinetry, and worktop materials, helping you make the most informed decision.
Suitability & Technical Considerations
When planning your underwater printed glass splashback, several technical factors are important to consider for optimal performance and integration:
-
Position Relative to Hob or Heat Source: While glass is heat-resistant, the specific proximity to direct heat sources like gas hobs requires careful consideration and may influence the glass specification or installation arrangement.
-
Toughened Glass Requirements: All our splashbacks are made from toughened safety glass, essential for heat resistance and durability, especially behind cooking areas.
-
Socket and Switch Cut-outs: Precise cut-outs for sockets, switches, and other fixtures can be incorporated where technically suitable, ensuring a seamless look.
-
Corners and Returns: Complex kitchen layouts involving corners or angled walls can be accommodated with bespoke manufacturing.
-
Wall Condition: The condition of the underlying wall will be assessed during a site survey to ensure a secure and appropriate installation.
-
Existing Worktops and Upstands: The splashback design will integrate with your existing or new worktops and any existing upstands.
-
Extractors and Cabinets: Precise measurements around extractor hoods and wall cabinets are crucial for a perfect fit.
-
Large Panel Sizes: We can produce large, uninterrupted panels to create a dramatic visual effect.
-
Access for Installation: Ensuring adequate access to the installation site is important for the installation team.
Many of these technical aspects, particularly those dependent on the individual project's specifics, will be confirmed during your initial consultation or professional site survey.

Are kitchen glass splashbacks made to measure?
Yes, glass splashbacks from CreoGlass can be made to measure. Our bespoke service ensures that each splashback is manufactured to the exact dimensions and configuration of your individual kitchen. This is distinct from standard-size DIY products, offering a tailored fit and finish.
Can glass splashbacks go behind a hob?
Glass splashbacks can indeed be installed behind hobs, provided the correct glass specification and installation arrangements are used. The suitability for your specific hob and kitchen setup will be confirmed during your consultation or site survey.
Can you cut around sockets?
Absolutely. Socket, switch, and other necessary cut-outs can be precisely incorporated into your glass splashback design, provided it is technically feasible and confirmed before manufacture. This allows for a clean integration with your kitchen's electrical points.
Do you measure the splashback?
For professionally installed bespoke projects, yes, CreoGlass conducts a thorough site survey to establish the exact manufacturing dimensions and installation requirements, ensuring a perfect fit.
Can I order a splashback without installation?
Yes, you can opt for a supply-only or DIY route. In this case, you are responsible for providing accurate measurements. For those who can measure and install themselves, this option is available.
Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes, sample services are available. We encourage you to view finishes in person, ideally within your kitchen, to assess how colours and reflective qualities appear under your home's specific lighting conditions.
Can you match the splashback to my kitchen?
We can use cabinet colours, worktops, paint references, or design ideas as inspiration during the selection process. While we strive for visual harmony, we do not promise exact colour matches unless the specific finish and manufacturing process reliably support it.
Can you install full-height glass between the worktop and wall cabinets?
Yes, full-height glass installations are possible. Larger and more complex arrangements can be accommodated, subject to detailed measurements, site access, the required glass specification, and a professional survey.
