Glass Splashbacks

Yes. These splashbacks are made from toughened safety glass and are specifically described as heat resistant, making them suitable for use behind hobs and cooktops. Toughened glass withstands normal cooking temperatures and everyday knocks better than ordinary glass, though very high, prolonged heat from direct flame contact is best avoided. a 60cm panel behind a freestanding cooker will resist splashes and heat from pans while keeping the wall protected.

Think about the mood you want and the light in your kitchen. White reflects the most light and opens a small kitchen; pewter gives a subtle, contemporary neutral that pairs well with stainless steel appliances; black creates a striking contrast and hides stains from splashes. If you have a compact galley kitchen, choose white to brighten the space; if you want a feature behind a hob in a modern kitchen, ebony black makes a bold focal point.

The current range lists straight splashbacks in a 60cm width (Prima LES001, LES002, LES003). These single panels are ideal for standard hob widths or isolated splash areas. If your run is longer than 60cm you can use multiple panels side by side, but expect small vertical joins where the panels meet.

Glass splashbacks are low maintenance and stain resistant; a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner will remove cooking splashes and grease quickly. Wipe spills as they occur to avoid dried-on grime and use microfibre for a streak-free glossy finish. Avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the glossy surface.

Generally yes, toughened safety glass offers strong impact resistance and will withstand typical family use and kitchen wear. It is more durable than standard glass and resists stains and heat, but like any material it can crack if hit hard by a heavy object. For a busy household you'll benefit from the easy cleaning and lasting finish, while accepting that heavy blunt impacts should be avoided.
