Choose the splashback by zone
A splashback protects walls, but different kitchen zones need different thinking. Behind a hob, heat resistance matters. Behind a sink, water and cleaning matter.
Options
- Tiles are flexible and repairable but need grout care.
- Glass can look clean and bright but needs accurate measuring.
- Laminate back panels can match worktops and install quickly.
- Stainless steel suits practical cooking zones.
Safety note
Check heat clearances and manufacturer guidance around hobs and cookers.
