There are many factors to consider when attempting to create the perfect kitchen design. Not only does it need to be functional and long lasting but it should be attractive, too, in order to really offer the kind of benefit that you want in the kitchen. We use the kitchen for many different purposes and every design is unique so whether you’re looking to create a simple splashback behind the hob or you want it to stretch right around the room above the units you can find the design, the material, and the look that suits your room the best.
The cooker splashback is designed with a very specific purpose in mind. It should protect the wall behind the cooker hobs from grease, fat, and other substances that may splash onto the wall while cooking. Even the most careful of cooks will inevitably end up with some splashes and it is down to the splashback to protect from this.
Covering a small area of wall is relatively easy but it does require that you measure the area carefully to ensure you get the most appropriate size of splashback. In an ideal world, you will be covering a flat piece of wall with no apertures and no need to have cut-outs to accommodate worktops or units. However, most kitchens will require that you measure these areas and provide specific measurements to the splashback company that you use.
For larger areas you will need to provide numerous measurements and identify any sockets or other apertures and cut-outs. Furthermore, if you are covering an entire wall then, for the sake of safety, you should consider breaking the area down so that you have panels of your chosen material that are less prone to break during transit and once installed.
There are many designs of cooker splashback you can choose from as well as a huge variety of materials that may be used in their creation. One of the more recent and best quality materials, that also offers flexibility in terms of its design, is that of vitreous enamel.
