Product Information
Full details
The Zenith Marmo Treviso Backsplash in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking an elegant, easy-to-maintain surface to protect kitchen walls. Its key benefit is providing effective splash and stain protection with a refined marble effect. A potential consideration is its 9mm thickness, which offers robustness but might influence fitting in very tight spaces. This splashback combines waterproof functionality and a light-reflecting finish with the ease of installation characteristic of compact laminate.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Zenith Marmo Treviso Backsplash?
The product information states a 9mm compact laminate construction, indicating its thickness. Specific width and height dimensions would be available on the product's retail packaging or detailed specification sheet.
Is this splashback suitable for behind an induction hob?
Yes, it is suitable for induction hobs, provided there is adequate ventilation and clearance as recommended by the hob manufacturer's installation guidelines.
How do I clean the surface effectively?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Can I install this splashback over existing tiles?
It is generally recommended to install on a flat, smooth surface. If tiles are perfectly flat with no grout lines, it might be possible with appropriate adhesive, but a smooth wall surface is ideal for best results.
What is the main benefit of the 9mm thickness?
The 9mm thickness offers a good balance between robustness and a slim profile, making it durable enough for splash protection while remaining relatively sleek on the wall.
Does the marble effect repeat exactly on different panels?
The marble effect is a printed pattern. While designed to be cohesive, natural marble has unique variations, and printed patterns may have a more standardized repeat. Check product batch information if exact pattern matching is critical.
Can this splashback be used as a countertop surface?
This product is specifically designed as a kitchen splashback for wall protection. It is not intended or tested for use as a countertop surface.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not holding the splashback securely
Ensure the wall surface is completely dry and free from dust or grease. Use the correct type of adhesive for laminate and follow application instructions precisely, including drying times.
Surface appears dull or stained after cleaning
You may have used an abrasive cleaner. Try cleaning again with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid future use of abrasive materials.
Scratches appearing on the surface
The compact laminate can be scratched by sharp objects. Use cutting boards and avoid dragging abrasive cookware across the surface. Minor scratches may be less visible due to the marble pattern.
Difficulty cutting the splashback cleanly
Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife specifically designed for laminate. Ensure the material is well-supported during cutting to prevent chipping. Practicing on a scrap piece is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This splashback is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. It can typically be cut to size using standard laminate cutting tools. Adhere the splashback using a suitable strong adhesive recommended for laminate surfaces, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Ensure a snug fit against countertops and adjacent units.
