Product Information

Full details

The Zenith Kitchen Splashback in Cream is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, stylish, and easy-to-maintain surface for their kitchen walls, particularly behind sinks and hobs. Its key benefit is providing the elegant look of marble with the practicality and resilience of compact laminate, offering robust protection against splashes and stains. A potential caveat is its specific aesthetic, which may not suit all kitchen designs. This splashback features a slim 9mm profile, a generous 3000mm length for seamless coverage, and a sleek finish that reflects light beautifully.

FAQs

Is this splashback suitable for behind a gas hob?

Yes, the compact laminate material is durable and heat-resistant for standard kitchen use behind hobs. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for hob clearances.

How do I clean the Zenith Pokhara Marble Backsplash?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, the lightweight nature and slim profile make it suitable for DIY installation. Ensure you have the correct tools for cutting and adhering laminate materials.

What is the warranty period for this splashback?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Can I drill holes in the splashback for sockets or shelves?

Yes, you can drill through the splashback. Use appropriate drill bits for laminate and proceed carefully to avoid chipping the surface.

Is the cream colour consistent across different batches?

While efforts are made to ensure colour consistency, slight variations can occur between production batches. It is advisable to purchase all necessary panels from the same order for the best match.

How thick is the splashback panel?

The Zenith Pokhara Marble Backsplash has a slim profile of 9mm.

Troubleshooting

Splashback appears damaged upon arrival

Inspect the packaging and product immediately. Contact the retailer or manufacturer with photographic evidence for a replacement or return.

Difficulty cutting the splashback cleanly

Use a fine-toothed saw specifically designed for laminate or composite materials. Ensure the cutting tool is sharp and the splashback is securely supported during cutting.

Adhesive is not holding the splashback securely

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of dust or grease). Use an adhesive specifically recommended for compact laminate panels and ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation.

Seams between panels are not flush

Ensure precise, straight cuts were made. Use a router to create a slight chamfer on edges if necessary for a tighter fit, or apply a colour-matched silicone sealant to disguise minor gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a high-end marble look at a more accessible price point.
  • Highly durable and resistant to water, stains, and impacts.
  • Simple to clean and maintain, requiring only basic wiping.
  • The long length simplifies installation and reduces the need for multiple panels.
  • Its slim profile adds a modern touch without being obtrusive.

Cons

  • The marble effect is a print, which may not appeal to those seeking authentic natural stone.
  • Requires precise cutting for custom fits, which may need professional tools.
  • While durable, it can be scratched by very sharp objects if significant force is applied.
  • Limited colour options beyond the described cream variant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Carefully measure the required area and cut the splashback to size using appropriate tools for laminate materials. Ensure cuts are straight for a seamless fit.
  2. Prepare Wall Surface: Ensure the wall behind the splashback is clean, dry, and free from any debris or unevenness.
  3. Adhere Splashback: Apply a suitable adhesive recommended for laminate panels to the wall or the back of the splashback, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Press the splashback firmly into place.
  4. Finishing Touches: Seal the edges if necessary with a suitable sealant for a watertight finish, especially around wet areas like sinks.

Compatibility:

The Zenith Kitchen Splashback is designed for installation directly onto most standard wall surfaces, including plasterboard, painted walls, and existing tiles (provided they are smooth and securely fixed).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe spills and splashes immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check seals around edges to ensure they remain intact and watertight.
