Antique effect and designer mirrors are, without doubt, the latest trend in kitchen wall covering designs and an area we are developing. The latest designs we have created, which can be purchased from our antique mirror splashbacks page, are below. Featuring gold, rusted and stone textured veins each mirror is hand made at our UK factory in made to order sizes. 

GOLD VEIN MIRROR

The Gold Vein effect has been created to simulate the varying colours of gold as it reflects light. All areas without this gold vein are highly reflective, silver, mirror. The Gold Vein design should sit comfortably in most kitchens, it is partculary well suited to blue, white and black kitchens with the gold veins adding a nice extra feature that you just will not achieve with a standard silver mirror.

Rusted Vein Mirror

The new Rusted Vein mirror design has again used a rust effect to create the look of rust, encapsulated by silver mirror which really brings out the rusted veins in the design. The Rusted Vein antique mirror design is also well suited to darker kitchen units and doors and would be well suited to kitchens featuring copper accessories and lighting.

Stone Vein Mirror

As with the gold and rust vein antique mirror designs we have used a textured design to try to create a stone effect in the pattern of the vein. Breaking up the plain silver mirror all of the vein design antique mirrors are idealfor customers who would like a mirror but want something that is a little more of a statement piece.

All of our antique and mirror splashbacks are made in the UK using toughened glass so can be used behind all types of kitchen hobs. As they are made to order they can be made in any size up to 2.5m wide by 1.3m high which should be large enough for most kitchens. For kitchen walls over this width of 2.5m the same look can still be achieved but the splashback should be broken into sections rather than one single piece. Likewise with our coloured glass splashbacks, we are able to cut and shape the mirrors to allow for socket cut outs and to follow the shape of your kitchen walls. 

A full measuring and fitting service is available for large parts of the UK, we do not have our own fitters but we can recommend trusted installers with whom we have been working with for many years. More details on our measuring and fitting service is available by contacting us- it's best to start by emailing us your requirements along with the postcode of the property.

If you would like to see any of these new designs, or another other design or colour, samples can be ordered from the product sample page of our website.

A fast growing trend in kitchen design is the use of mirrors as a kitchen wall covering. The ability of a mirror to transform a space by increasing the amount of natural and artificial light as well as making the space seem much larger is pushing more people to use mirrors. As you can see below, a mirror splashback is also very aesthetically pleasing.

Are Mirror Splashbacks Heat Resistant?

The quick answer to that is yes, toughened mirror splashbacks are very heat resistant and suitable for use behind any type of kitchen hob. Normal mirror, that is not made from toughened glass, is not and could crack at any time while cooking so we would advise against a normal mirror behind a heat source. DIY Splashbacks only supply toughened kitchen mirror splashbacks so all of our mirror products are suitable for this use.

Untoughened glass and untoughened (normal) mirrors are heat resistant to around 80C, toughened glass and mirrors are four or five times more heat resistant so 320C to 400C- well above the maximum temperature you can expect behind a hob.

How Easy Are Mirror Splashbacks To Keep Clean?

Glass is itself very easy to clean (windows, glass tables etc.), much easier then most other surfaces such as wall tiles and stainless steel, to make it easier to clean you can also add our Easy Clean coating which is a nanophobic, hydrophobic (water repellant) coating. Mirror splashbacks, being mirrors, will show dirt up more than tiles though as they do of course reflect anything on the surface. The dirt is still there on tiles, it's just harder to see. For this reason, many of our customers choose one of our antique effect mirrors which have different effects on the rear of the glass which can help disguise some splashing- but they are easy to clean with just a microfibre cloth.

What Colours Of Mirror Splashbacks are Available?

Presently, we offer mirror splashbacks for kitchens and bathrooms in the below colours and styles.

Bronze Tinted Mirror, Grey Tinted Mirror, Silver Mirror and Antique Mirror. The antique mirror range is constantly evolving but at present there are two styles, many more are on the way. 

How Easy Is It To Fit A Mirror Splashback?

As with our range of coloured glass splashbacks, mirror splashbacks can either be stuck to the wall using silicone adhesive or screwed to the wall using mirror screws. A simple cooker splashback would literally take 5 minutes to fix to the wall and seal the edges and screw fitting one perhaps 5-10 minutes more- just be careful you don't drill into any pipes or wires!

You can find measuring and fitting instructions in our tutorials section.

Why Choose A Mirror Splashback Instead Of Coloured Glass?

There is no real reason, choose whatever compliments your kitchen design. However, one huge benefit of a mirror splashback is of course behind able to see the reflection.  What we mean by this is if your cooker wall is facing your garden or a scenic view this view will be visible from your cooker wall also, so you can enjoy the view while cooking. Also, for kitchens with breakfast bar islands you see the person beside you within turning around which make meals for families much more pleasant (if you can get the kids off their tablets. Likewise for bathrooms, a mirror splashback will make any bathroom look much bigger and brighter so they will definitely increase the resale value of any property.

When choosing a kitchen wallcovering there are many options, tiles, glass, mirrors, laminate or acrylic splashbacks. DIY Splashbacks manufacture glass, mirror (glass) and acrylic splashbacks. Coloured glass splashbacks and our custom coloured acrylic splashbacks are both manufactured in the same way- a clear substrate is colour coated on the rear facing side to produce a coloured splashback. So as they are made the same way they look identical- the difference is the practicalities which will go into more detail on below.

How heat resistant is acrylic compared to glass?

Glass splashbacks are made from toughened glass, this means the glass has been superheated to melting point before being rapidly cooled. This process changes the physical properties of the glass so it is at least four times stronger than normal glass but more importantly it is incredibly heat resistant. A glass splashback manufatured using toughened glass is perfectly suitable for use behind any kitchen hob, even gas.

Acrylic splashbacks, as the name suggests, are made from acrylic- we use the highest quality acrylic which is Perspex. Perspex has a maximum service temperature of around 80-85C. So as long as a hot pot or pan does not come into direct contact with it while heated and that it is at least 10cm from any rings on the hob they can be used behind induction hobs. You cannot use an acrylic splashback behind a gas hob, we would not recommend you use it behind an electric hob either although if enough spacing is allowed theoretically it should be ok. Acrylic should not be used behind freestanding electric ovens either, the reason being the oven will vent the heat upwards from the back which will be very close to the wall/acrylic.

How scratch resistant is glass compared to acrylic?

Glass itself is very scratch resistant compared to many ither materials, but anything harder than glass can and wil scratch it. There are of course a large percentage of glass coffee tables and dining tables, they do scratch if not looked after. This is never really the case for a kitchen splashback though as you would very rarely touch the rear wall of your kitchen with a hard, sharp, object so scratching is not a concern.

Acrylic on the other hand is not very scratch resistant at all. As there are many materials harder than acrylic there are many ways to accicentally scratch it. Again though, as a wall covering in a kitchen this is a rarity so this form of scratching is seldom a concern.

Where glass excels when compared to acrylic in terms of scratch resistance is when cleaning it. We have found ourselves that even using a microfibre cloth acrylic can be scratched if there is any form of foreign object on the cloth. That could be a smal amount of dirt or even a harder part of the cloth itself if it's a little used. On the other hand, glass can be cleaned with wire wool. It is unlikely that stains will ever be so bad on your splashbacks that you need wire wool but we use it to clean our glass panels before we process them so we know this is the case (we use medium grade wire wool).

How easy is it to cut glass compared to acrylic?

This is very straightforward, toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled, acrylic on the other hand is fairly easy to work with. To cut or drill acrylic you just need to use HSS bits, which are designed for metal. HSS jigsaw blades, which fit in any jigsaw, have very fine teeth- non HSS bits or blades for cutting wood have large teeth in comparison so they will chip or crack the acrylic and should not be used. If drilling, you must gradually build up the hole size starting with a very small 2mm drill bit.

Anything else to consider?

While glass is definitely better for most kitchen uses, and bathrooms, it is much heavier. At 15kg/m2, a typical cooker spalshback weighs in at 6.75kg. Not heavy, but not a large panel. What about a glass shower panel though, what does it weigh?

Glass shower panel 2.3m x 0.9m - weight 31kg (reasonably heavy but not flexible at all and large, so hard to manoeuver upstairs to a bathroom or shower)

Acrylic shower panel 2.3m x 0.9m - weight 12.42kg much lighter, and flexible (much easier to get upstairs without any serious risk of injury)

I have personally carried three large glass shower panels upstairs and it is very difficult. What was more difficult was getting something the full width of my shower, 2.3m high and completely inflexbile, inside the shower. Basically, by the time I had finsihed the shower, I needed a shower. You can of course use two people to carry glass shower panels upstairs just be very careful, if the glass slips the person behind you is in trouble.

When deciding, weigh up the above options. Acrylic, if used in the right place can make a beautiful wall covering and is ideal in a bathroom. Glass can be used anywhere without any worries other than the weight.

A common question we are asked is how does the cost of a glass splashback compare to the cost of tiled kitchen walls. Let's take a look to see how they compare. In this study, we will use prices from one of the UK's largest tile suppliers.

Kitchen Wall Tiles (prices vary by retailer)

Subway Kitchen Wall Tiles £25-£30m2 (as high as £155m2 for glass subway tiles)

Rustic Kitchen Wall Tiles £57m-£139m2

Victorian Kitchen Wall Tiles £48-£395m2

Terazzo Kitchen Wall Tiles £39-£79m2

Glass Kitchen Wall Tiles £60m-£250m2

Tile Adhesive £26.99 will cover around 6m2

Tile Grout £20.99 for a 2.5kg bag (not pre-mixed) which will cover 8.9m2

Hiring a professional tiler £20-£50m2 for wall tiles (depending on location, many tilers would have a minimum charge of £150-£200)

As you can see from the above prices, a tiled wall would cost anywhere from  £52.50m2 to £452m2

The Cost of Glass Splashbacks

We will use our own prices to compare to the cost of kitchen wall tiles

Coloured Glass Splashbacks 

600mm x 750mm (0.45m2) £235m2, adhesive £7.99, fitting- 5 minutes to fit yourself

Full Wall example 2400mm x 500mm £180m2, adhesive £7.99 fitting varies by location but £200 - £500 (if you can't fit yourself).

Cost for comparison £243m2 - £596m2 (the price is greatly influenced by the fitting cost, a fully ktichen up to 6m2 would be the same installation cost so for a full kitchen the fitting cost should realistically be around £33m2 - £83m2 which would reduce the cost for compasion to £213m2 - £263m2 based on a 6m2 area

Mirrored Glass Splashbacks 

600mm x 750mm (0.45m2) £495m2, adhesive £7.99, fitting- 5 minutes to fit yourself

Full wall - 2400mm x 500mm £412m2, adhesive £7.99 again fitting costs vary by region (and fitter)

As with the above prices for coloured glass, fitting can be as low as £33m2 if the fitter is covering a kitchen with a wall area of around 6m2.

Head to head/like for like

As with any product, you can purchase products at the high or low end of the market. Kitchen wall tiles are no exception. Prices from one high street retailer who themselves are not the high end of the market range from £25m2 to £395m2 alone depending on the style of wall tile. To make a more fair comparison then we will use the glass wall tile prices to compare to the cost of a coloured glass splashback

Cost of glass kitchen wall tiles compared to coloured glass splashbacks

Glass Kitchen Wall Tiles £60 - £250m2

Coloured Glass Splashbacks £180 - £235m2

Cost of installation, wall tiles from £20m2, glass splashbacks from £33m2

As you can see there isn't a massive price difference between the two but there are some factors that should make a glass splashback more appealling than kitchen tiles.

• Glass Splashbacks are very easy to fit yourself and even a novice DIYer can achieve great results
• Kitchen wall tiles require grout, which is very easy to stain and not so easy to clean- unlike glass
• The labour costs for professionally fitted glass splashbacks (which require two visits instead of one as the site survey must be first made) is on a sliding scale, so the larger the area the cheaper the m2 tends to be.
• For a contemporay kitchen, not having any lines or joins in the glass does not spoil the look of a sleek kitchen

Wall tiles can of course look beautiful and are the right choice in many kitchens, like every room of the home it is important to take time to choose the right colours or wall coverings to suit your decor.

To answer the question, are glass splashbacks cheaper than tiles, the answer is both yes and no. It depends on the tile chosen and the area you would like covered. A cooker splashback only is without doubt going to work out a lot cheaper than tiling as it is something you can fit yourself in a matter of minutes. A single wall of glass to under cabinet height will in most cases work out a little more expensive than lower end kitchen wall tiles but for full kitchen the cost is comparable (again depending on the wall tiles chosen). Glass splashbacks can also vary considerably by supplier and style, antique mirror splashbacks would be at the higher end of the scale.

When designing a kitchen there are many factors to consider, choosing the kitchen doors, worktops and appliances are the first step towards your dream kitchen but what do you put on the walls? Kitchen tiles look great in traditional kitchens but for more contemporary kitchen styles they can make the walls look a little dated. Fortunately, there are now many more options for contemporary kitchen wall coverings that are a lot more in keeping with the modern look. Coloured glass splashbacks are a great choice as they can be matched to any paint colour so you are essentially just choosing a colour and creating a fully washable, stainpproof, easily cleaned wall of glass.  Likewise, you can create exactly the same look with coloured acrylic panels which are manufactured in exactly the same way as glass splashbacks- the only downside is that they are not as heat resistant as glass so this is something to consider at the planning stage. The most in trend kitchen wall covering is now mirror splashbacks, available in different colours and styles mirror splashbacks protect your wall just as coloured glass splashbacks do but they also dramatically change both the amount of light in your kitchen as well as the perceived amount of space.

The above image of a bronze mirror splashback is a great example of how a mirror can not only be functional but also makes a dramatic difference to how big the kitchen looks. This example faces the seating area which is great as it allows anyone sitting in the kitchen to speak to other people without having to turn their head. The bronze tint in the mirror is the perfect complement to the sleek grey lines of the kitchen and of course the colour of the kitchen doors and worktops. Kitchen tiles would simply not have been the right match for this kitchen with grout lines ruining the aesthetics.

As mentioned, toughened mirror splashbacks are available in different colours (silver being the most common) so above you can see a nice example of a grey mirror kitchen splashback. As with the bronze example above you can see straight away that the kitchen looks much brighter and larger despite this being a darker coloured mirror. In this kitchen you will see that the mirror is behind the kitchen hob, this is an important feature of toughened glass mirrors as they are just as heat resistant as coloured glass splashbacks as they are both made from toughened glasss. Another great example of how a mirrored splashback is a great choice for a modern kitchen.

The most in trend style of kitchen mirror splashbacks at this time is though antique effect splashbacks. There are several reasons why people choose this look with the main one being that they create a feature of the kitchen rather than just making it look much bigger. This example is a rusted iron antique effect mirror but again, made from toughened glass so perfectly suitable for use behind any type of ktichen hob- including gas.

Whatever style you choose, the main thing to consider is the colour or effect. Grey mirror splashbacks would not suit certain kitchen colour schemes such as creams or ivory whereas a bronze mirror would, as it would have a degree of red in it as would the kitchen. For a grey or white kitchen you will find that a grey, silver or silver antique mirror splashback may be the better choice.

How can we help you find the right choice of mirror splashback for your kitchen?

The first step would be to order a sample to check to make sure your colour choice of mirror complements your kitchen doors and worktops. Mirror samples can be ordered on this page of our website.

Trends may be cyclical in nature, but the rustic-antique look has been well and truly timeless throughout much of history. There may be shifts in the way this trend is brought into classical and contemporary homes, but modernising interiors by making them look somewhat distressed is nothing new.

Exposed pipes, reclaimed wooden furniture, light fittings taken directly from factory floors; anything that looks completely effortless, but is not.

It is a trend that has also made its mark on the world of quality kitchen splash backs. For some, there is nothing more appealing than a beautifully contemporary stainless steel splashback, an arrangement of ceramic tiles or a sheet of coloured acrylic.

For others, the splashback of the moment is the splashback that brings a rustic and industrial look to the modern kitchen.

The Eye-Catching Antique Mirror Splashback

Standard mirror splashbacks were the tools of choice for interior designers throughout much of 2018 and 2019. They are still quite fantastic and supremely versatile today, able to complement the look and feel of just about any type of kitchen.

Today, all eyes are well and truly on the antique mirror splashback; as the name suggests, an antique mirror splashback is a contemporary splashback manufactured from the highest-quality materials, though designed to look as if it was reclaimed from a historic home or business.

Manufactured to the highest quality standards, antique mirror splashbacks combine all the visual appeal of an authentic distressed mirror finish with the rugged durability of a 21^st century splashback. The result is a durable and hardwearing feature for the classical or contemporary kitchen, which can be positioned just about anywhere to fantastic effect.

Bespoke Kitchen Splashback Design

Best of all, the highest-quality antique mirror splashbacks on the market today can be extensively customised to suit the preferences and requirements of each customer. Choose from a whole range of inspiring colours that can be used to tint the glass, in order to produce something that fits in flawlessly with its surroundings.

Antique mirror splashbacks can also be manufactured in absolutely any shape, size and specification, enabling them to be installed in minutes without any specialist equipment.

Pairing pristine presentation with a layer of durable protection for high-traffic areas, an antique mirror splashback really is the wall covering of the moment in 2021.

Ask 100 people to describe their dream kitchen splashbacks and you will probably get 100 different answers. Truth is, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to choosing colours and finishes.

It depends entirely on what you want to get out of your splashback, in terms of its design and practicality.

Of course, getting to grips with the options available can seem daunting at first, nevertheless, it is relatively easy to narrow things down to a shortlist of contenders.

With this in mind, here are four approaches to choosing an attractive and functional splashback for your kitchen:

Choose A Complementary Colour

Many (if not most) buyers choose to go with a splashback in a complementary colour. This means opting for a colour that blends in seamlessly with your existing décor. It doesn’t necessarily mean picking a splashback that is the same colour as the rest of your kitchen, but something that fits in beautifully with its surroundings. Perhaps consider the colours and finishes of the other features and fixtures in your kitchen, choosing one of these for the colour of your splashback.

Make It into A Feature

This is basically the exact opposite approach, where you deliberately choose a colour that stands out boldly and prominently. This can be a great way of bringing a pop of colour into your kitchen, creating an eye-catching feature and focus point. If you are planning on making a feature of your splashback, experiment with as many bold (and even brash) colour choices as you like.

Consider A Mirrored Finish

Mirrored splashbacks can look the part in a wide variety of kitchens. Reflective surfaces are particularly effective when introduced to smaller interior spaces, creating a feeling of space and light. It is also worth remembering that a mirrored splashback can be tinted in almost any shade. This is an option well worth considering, if you are looking to brighten up your kitchen and make the space feel larger than it actually is.

Simply Choose Your Favourite

Last but not least, the easiest approach of all is to simply forget all of the above entirely. Rather than complicating things with various considerations regarding contrast and cohesion, why not just choose a splashback you love the most? The important point to remember is that if it works for you, that really is all that matters. Never base your decisions on current, past or future trends – base them entirely on your own personal preferences.

At DIY Splashbacks, we would be delighted to provide you with an obligation-free consultation to help you choose your perfect kitchen splashback. Call or e-mail our customer support team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Kitchen splashbacks may be primarily practical in nature, but this does not mean they cannot also be seriously stylish. As with most things, creativity and innovation hold the key to truly inspiring results when choosing kitchen splashbacks.

Of course, knowing where to start with a (literally) limitless range of custom options to choose from can be tricky. Whether you are looking for something understated or bold is entirely up to you, but it is essential to ensure the final effect is one you can be proud of.

With this in mind, here is a selection of innovative glass splashback ideas for a more stylish and unique kitchen:

1. Create a bold contrast

First up, this is where you specifically choose a colour for your splashback that creates a bold and eye-catching contrast. This can be particularly effective if your kitchen’s décor is neutral and understated, providing the opportunity to bring a burst of bold colour into the mix. Mixing colours from opposite ends of the colour spectrum will also create an exciting and unique statement that will make you the envy of all your friends

2. Showcase exposed brickwork

If you have brickwork or any other structural feature you like the look of, why not cover it with a completely clear splashback? This will enable you to both continue showcasing the feature and provide it with an additional layer of protection. If preferred, you can also opt for something lightly tinted in a hue of your choosing, in order to still allow the brickwork behind to show through.

3. Go for something understated

If you are looking for more muted and neutral colours and designs for your dream kitchen you may be more inclined to choose a splashback that blends in more than stands out. You may simply want a functional and understated addition to your kitchen, which serves a valuable purpose without affecting its visual aesthetic.

4. Consider ‘framing’ your splashback

Another fantastic design option for creating a standout kitchen feature is to consider ‘framing’ your splashback. This is where you strategically select and place a series of tiles around the outline of the splashback. You can go for something coloured, something patterned or something plain - whichever works best with your kitchen décor.

5. Match your splashback to your kitchen cabinets

One of the easiest ways of creating a unified feel throughout the kitchen is to paircoloured glass splashbacks to your kitchen cabinets shade. Or perhaps the other way around - repaint your cabinets the same colour as your new splashback. Both options can be surprisingly straightforward and are perfectly possible as DIY projects if you are a dab hand with a paintbrush!

6. Reflect light with a mirrored splashback

One of the biggest benefits of a mirrored splashback is the way in which it creates a feeling of spaciousness in the kitchen. It can also be great for maximising natural light, particularly where smaller kitchens are concerned. Mirrored splashbacks can be plain or tinted as preferred, in order to perfectly complement their surroundings.

7. Play around with patterned tiles

Last but not least, placing a series of patterned tiles in the wall directly behind a glass splashback is an easy and affordable way to create a feature wall in your kitchen. Get creative with your own custom mosaic, or simply pick up a selection of patterned tiles and arrange them in any way you like. Either way, the result will be an eye-catching focus point for the entire kitchen.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and style is a matter of personal perception.  When it comes to convenience and practicality, there will always be those who favour aesthetics over an easy ride.

But how about an option that combines the best of both worlds? If looking to give your bathroom an overhaul, why not consider splashbacks as an alternative to traditional tiles?

It may sound like an unusual approach, but there are actually countless benefits to splashbacks as an alternative to tiled surfaces. Available in a wide range of colours and manufactured from toughened glass, splashbacks can be great for creating a sleek, sophisticated and stylish contemporary finish.

So before placing an order for your bathroom tiles, consider the following benefits of high-quality splashbacks:

1.     Quick and easy installation

Firstly, splashbacks can significantly reduce the amount of time needed to complete the project. This is for the simple reason that a single splashback can cover the same surface area as multiple tiles. The larger the sheet of glass, the quicker and easier it is to get the job done. Given how most quality kitchen splashbacks are made to measure, you can order pretty much any size and shape you need to suit your bathroom.

2.     Cleanliness and hygiene

Some types of bathroom tiles can be surprisingly difficult to keep clean and hygienic. In fact, any bathroom tiles that have a textured surface can accumulate dirt, gather grime and result in the build-up of limescale. One of the appealing features of glass splashbacks is the way in which they could not be easier to keep clean. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all that is needed, coupled with the occasional polish to keep them in pristine condition.

3.     Repairs, replacements and alterations

Something else to bear in mind is how comparatively simple it is to remove and replace kitchen splashbacks. Removing tiles that have been grouted securely in place to repair, replace or upgrade them can be a difficult and messy job. With a glass splashback, it takes no time at all to remove the panel from the surface and upgrade or replace it with anything you like. This means that if you do change your mind or decide to mix things up in the future, it won’t be a major undertaking.

4.     An indefinite lifespan

Last but not least, high-quality glass splashbacks for bathrooms that are appropriately taken care of can last pretty much forever. Or if not forever, at least several decades without losing their lustre. Glass splashbacks are not prone to fading or becoming discoloured overtime. The toughened glass surface is also resilient to scratches and scuffs giving them a longer life than standard tiles.

A tiled kitchen can look lovely but for areas where you get a lot of splashing from cooking and washing dishes you may find these areas can become problematic. The simple solution is to install a glass splashback on top of the tiles. Glass splashbacks are very easy to clean and do not need any tile grout so are ideal for these problem areas in the kitchen or bathroom. You can install a simple glass splashback on top of tiles in a matter of minutes using neutral cure silicone, see below for a great example of a glass splashback that has been fitted on top of existing wall tiles.

TThis customer chose a glass splashback that compliments the wall tiles and worktops to great effect. They no longer have the problems associated with cleaning grease and splashes from tile grout and now have an easy to clean glass splashback behind their gas hob. All of our glass splashbacks are made from toughened glass and fully heat resistant for use behind all types of hobs, including gas.

For bathrooms and shower panels where you do not need to use toughened glass you can install acrylic splashbacks on top of existing tiles instead of having to remove them which can be very messy. A seamless surface like acrylic again does not require any grout so water will run straight off meaning you do not need to worry about mould in the shower.
