FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for installation?
You must use 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive'. Using any other adhesive may void the warranty and could lead to improper installation.
Can this splashback be installed over existing tiles?
For optimal adhesion and a smooth finish, it is recommended to remove existing wall coverings. If installing over tiles, ensure they are perfectly smooth, level, and securely bonded. Uneven surfaces can lead to adhesion issues.
Is the glass safe to use behind a gas hob?
Yes, the glass is rated to withstand temperatures up to 400°C. However, always ensure you maintain the minimum safety distance between the hob and the splashback as specified by your hob manufacturer.
How do I clean the splashback?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap or a standard kitchen cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass surface.
What are the available sizes for this splashback?
This splashback is available in several sizes, including W600mm x H750mm, W700mm x H750mm, W900mm x H750mm, W600mm x H600mm, W600mm x H650mm, W700mm x H650mm, and W900mm x H650mm.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The splashback comes with a 1-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Can I cut or drill the glass if I need custom dimensions?
No, the glass is toughened and pre-cut to size. Attempting to cut or drill it after purchase will cause it to shatter and will void any warranty.
Troubleshooting
Splashback won't adhere properly to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Verify that the correct 'Clear Natural Curing Adhesive' has been used and applied according to its instructions. Check that sufficient adhesive was used and that the splashback was held firmly in place until the adhesive began to set.
Bubbles or gaps visible behind the glass.
This is often due to uneven adhesive application or air trapped during installation. If minor and caught early, you might be able to gently release the air with a fine needle. For significant issues, professional removal and re-installation may be necessary.
Print appears faded or damaged.
The print is protected by the toughened glass. If the print appears damaged, it is likely on the outer surface of the glass. Clean gently with a soft cloth. If the damage is internal, contact the manufacturer as this indicates a product defect.
Glass is chipped or cracked.
Handle with care during installation. If damage occurs, cease installation and contact customer support. Small chips on edges might be professionally repaired, but significant cracks or breaks require replacement.
