FAQs

Is this splashback suitable for all types of hobs?

Yes, the Splashwall Alloy splashback is fire-safe and suitable for use behind electric, gas, and induction hobs.

Can I install this splashback myself?

Yes, the product is designed for easy DIY installation. It can be cut to size and adhered directly to the wall using the recommended adhesive.

What is the best way to clean the splashback?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

How durable is the aluminium material?

The aluminium is durable for typical kitchen use, being fire and water-resistant. However, it can be scratched by abrasive cleaners or dented by significant impact.

Do I need to seal the edges after cutting?

Sealing is generally not required for functionality, as the material is waterproof. However, for a very neat finish, especially if cutting into complex shapes, consider how edges will be finished against adjacent surfaces.

Can I place this splashback behind a sink?

Yes, the splashback is waterproof and ideal for installation behind sinks to protect your walls from water splashes.

What adhesive should I use?

Splashwall recommends using their 'Complete' adhesive for secure and effective installation. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Panel is not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Reapply a fresh coat of the recommended adhesive, ensuring even coverage. Check that the correct type of adhesive is being used for aluminium panels.

Difficulty cutting the panel accurately

Use a fine-tooth saw or score the panel deeply with a sharp utility knife and then snap. Ensure your cutting tools are sharp and suitable for aluminium. Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves.

Surface appears dull or scratched after cleaning

You may have used an abrasive cleaner or tool. Switch to a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. For minor scratches, some metal polishes might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Panel does not sit flush against the wall

Check for any unevenness on the wall surface. Ensure adequate adhesive has been applied. If the wall is uneven, consider using a filler before installation or adding extra adhesive in low spots.
