The Pros and Cons of a Glass Backsplash in Your Kitchen

There’s a lot to be gained from a glass backsplash back but it’s also a big thing to think about if you’re considering investing in one, as although glassbacksplash look great and they’ll make your life so much easier, they’re also expensive and a big investment.

Glass backsplash can be bought in so many colours, they can be made to go with any kitchen. They will make a huge statement in your kitchen and will continue to do so for years to come.

However, although they’re great and have many advantages, they do have their downsides too and it’s only fair that these are also revealed.

  • Shine

Backsplash are extremely shiny and reflect the light, whatever colour they are. Due to their reflective powers they can really brighten up a kitchen, they can also make them seem much bigger.

  • Colours

The choice of colour for any backsplash is endless, you can have anything in the colour spectrum, no matter how bright.

  • Cleaning

  • Personalisation:

Backsplash backs can also be personalised in many ways too; instead of a bright colour you can choose to have a picture of your family on your backsplash or you could have LED lights fitted to make it even brighter.

  • Made to measure:

all of the glass that is used is made to measure and will fit every wall perfectly. There won’t be any odd bits or corners that you might have with tiles.

  • Unique:

Although any kind of backsplash will give you a unique kitchen, if you want something a little more unusual you could commission a glass artist to produce a special, individual design for you.

    Thanks for listing the pros and cons of glass splashback installation in my kitchen. Since I’ve decided to do a kitchen remodeling project this summer, I’m glad that I came across your article. Aside from the fact that it brightens up the look of the kitchen, it’s awesome to know that it’s easy to clean by using only a damp cloth. With that considered, I think it’s a great addition to my kitchen so hopefully, I can find a company that offers quality material.
