Types of kitchen splashbacks

Tiled splashbacks

Kitchen splashback tiles are very popular in New Zealand with a huge range of options including large format wall tiles, mosaic tiles, traditional subway tiles, textured tiles and more. Typically made from natural stone, porcelain or ceramic, they are great at protecting walls and suit both modern and traditional style kitchens. 

Glass splashbacks

Coloured or printed glass splashbacks are a great practical solution that also offers tremendous design versatility with just about any aesthetic possible. They are strong and very easy to clean making them a great choice for those with limited time for daily cleaning.   

Acrylic splashbacks

The zenolite or acrylic splashback is a lightweight, shatter-proof solution that is often seen as an alternative to glass. They are easy to cut and install and are typically one of the more cost-effective solutions.

Laminate splashbacks

Laminate is a versatile choice, available in various styles, colours and patterns. They are simple to measure, and cut, and can be attached to pre-existing tiles. 

Stainless steel splashbacks

Stainless steel is one of the more hygienic types to consider as it is very easy to clean and maintain, naturally repelling bacteria and resistant to corrosion. Additionally, the material is highly durable and water-resistant.

Resin splashbacks

Resin is a heat-resistant polymer that can endure temperatures close to 190 degrees Celsius. It has good resistance to impacts, making it easy to maintain and can be infused with a variety of custom looks.

Advantages of a high-quality kitchen splashback

High-quality kitchen splashbacks offer numerous advantages, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of a kitchen. Made from durable materials such as tiles, glass, acrylic, or resin, they provide robust protection against stains, splashes, and heat, preserving the integrity of kitchen walls and making cleanup much easier. Additionally, they come in a variety of finishes and colours, allowing for customisation that can complement or contrast with the kitchen decor to create a striking visual impact and even act as feature walls. They can also incorporate advanced features like anti-bacterial surfaces and UV resistance, ensuring longevity and maintaining their appearance without fading or discolouration over time. Importantly, a high-quality solution can significantly increase the value of a home by updating its look and adding a touch of luxury and practicality to the kitchen space.

How to choose a kitchen splashback

Choosing the right kitchen splashback involves considering both functionality and styling to complement your kitchen design and meet your practical needs. Start by evaluating the material that best suits your cooking habits and kitchen environment. Options like tiles and glass are easy to clean and offer a sleek look, whereas stainless steel is highly durable and heat-resistant, ideal for heavy cooking. Acrylic and resin provide versatile colour and pattern choices, enhancing the kitchen's visual appeal while being cost-effective. Ensure the material is heat, stain, and moisture-resistant to maintain its condition against cooking and cleaning rigours. Additionally, think about the colour and texture, selecting one that complements other kitchen elements such as countertops and cabinets. Measure the area behind your cooktop and sink accurately to ensure a perfect fit, and consider professional installation to guarantee a seamless and durable finish.
