Answering Your Top Questions About Glass Splashbacks
We know you have questions before committing to a home improvement project. Here, we address the most common concerns London homeowners like you have.
Your dream kitchen deserves a centrepiece that is not only stunning but also supremely practical. A glass kitchen splashback is that perfect fusion of art and function.
At Creoglass, we don't just install glass; we deliver seamless, luminous transformations for London homes, designed to endure the hustle of your daily life while elevating your space with modern elegance.
Are glass splashbacks a practical choice for a busy London kitchen?
Absolutely. Tempered glass splashbacks are one of the most durable and hygienic options available. Unlike grouted tiles, they have a non-porous surface that resists stains, mould, and bacteria. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to remove cooking splatters, grease, and grime, making them exceptionally easy to maintain.
Is it difficult to keep a glass splashback clean?
Quite the opposite. The seamless nature of a glass splashback means there are no grooves or grout lines for dirt to accumulate in. Their smooth surface is easier and faster to clean than tiles, stone, or other materials. For daily cleaning, a microfibre cloth is all you need, saving you time and effort.
I'm worried about heat resistance and safety. Are they strong enough?
Yes, our splashbacks are crafted from premium 6mm toughened safety glass. This material is up to five times stronger than standard glass and is heat resistant up to 300°C, making it perfectly safe to install behind hobs. In the highly unlikely event of breakage, it crumbles into small, granular pieces instead of sharp, dangerous shards.
Can I match the glass colour to my kitchen's specific design?
This is where the true magic lies. We offer an almost limitless spectrum of colours. Using advanced digital printing technology, we can match any colour from a paint chart (e.g., RAL or British Standard) with pinpoint accuracy. Furthermore, we can create stunning feature walls by printing high-resolution images, patterns, or even metallic finishes directly onto the glass, ensuring your splashback is a unique reflection of your style.
How does the installation process work, and will it disrupt my home?
Our installation process, refined over years of serving London homeowners, is designed for minimal disruption. We conduct a precise laser measurement of your walls to ensure a perfect fit. The installation itself is typically completed within a day by our expert fitters. We manage the entire process cleanly and efficiently, with a strong focus on causing as little disturbance to your household as possible.

How does wall preparation differ from other splashback materials?
Wall preparation is critical for a flawless glass installation. The wall must be smooth, flat, dry, and structurally sound. Any imperfections on the wall surface can telegraph through the glass. Our team conducts a thorough assessment and can advise on any necessary remedial work, such as plastering or skimming, to create the perfect canvas. This proactive approach prevents future issues and is a key part of our service.
What are the lighting considerations for a glass splashback?
Glass has unique reflective properties that can enhance your kitchen's lighting. A well-placed splashback can help bounce light from windows or downlights around the room, making a smaller London kitchen feel more spacious and bright. We can advise on how different colours and finishes (gloss, matt, or metallic) interact with light, helping you choose an option that maximises luminosity and complements your ambient and task lighting scheme.
Can you integrate electrical sockets and switches seamlessly?
A common pain point with splashbacks is the awkward handling of power outlets. We expertly address this by creating precise cut-outs in the glass for your sockets and switches. The result is a clean, professional finish where the electrical fixtures sit flush against the glass, maintaining the seamless look and making the wall easier to clean than with bulky socket boxes sitting on top of tiled surfaces.
