Splashback Tiles: The Tiled Look Without Grout
Splashback tiles look great, but the grout between them stains and needs scrubbing. A tile effect glass splashback gives the same tiled look in a single sheet of toughened glass, with no grout lines at all. Each one is made to measure and is heat resistant to over 400°C, so it can go straight behind the hob.

Tiles or a tile effect glass splashback?
- Cleaning: tiles have grout that stains; glass is one smooth sheet that wipes clean
- Heat: both cope behind a hob; our glass is heat resistant to over 400°C
- Fitting: tiling means cutting, spacing and grouting; a glass panel is stuck to the wall in one piece
- Existing tiles: a glass splashback can be fitted straight over them

Splashback tile questions
Is a tile effect splashback made of real tiles?
No. It is a single sheet of toughened glass printed with the tile pattern, so there is no grout to clean or discolour.
Can it go over my existing tiles?
Yes. Glass splashbacks can be fitted over existing tiles, so there is no need to remove them.
Can a tile effect splashback go behind a hob?
Yes. The designs are printed onto toughened glass that is heat resistant to over 400°C, so it suits gas, electric and induction hobs.
Can I order my exact size?
Yes. Every panel is made to measure, and the tile pattern is scaled to suit the size you order. Made-to-measure glass takes 3–4 weeks.
