Troubleshooting
Adhesive not bonding properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry, clean, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct type of Clear Natural Curing Adhesive for glass splashbacks is being used and that it is within its expiry date. Follow application instructions precisely.
Surface appears cloudy or streaky after cleaning
Use a clean, soft microfiber cloth for cleaning and drying. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive cleaners. Wipe with a lint-free cloth to achieve a streak-free finish.
Small chip or scratch on the glass
Minor surface scratches may be difficult to remove. For chips or significant damage, replacement of the splashback panel is typically required. Contact the manufacturer for potential repair options or replacement panels.
Unevenness or bubbling behind the glass
This usually indicates an issue with the adhesive application. Ensure even pressure is applied during installation and that the adhesive is distributed uniformly. Bubbles should be addressed immediately during installation as per adhesive guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires a clean, dry, and flat wall surface. It is crucial to use Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically designed for glass splashbacks to ensure a secure and long-lasting bond. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions carefully regarding application and curing times. It is recommended that installation is performed by individuals with experience in handling glass, or by a professional, especially for larger panels.
Compatibility: This splashback is designed for direct wall mounting. Ensure the wall behind it is sound and capable of supporting the weight of the glass. It is compatible with most standard kitchen countertop and cabinetry materials.
Care: To maintain the pristine appearance of your splashback, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface and the printed design. For stubborn marks, a glass cleaner can be used sparingly.
