At Anglia Interiors, we believe that a kitchen splashback is more than just a functional element; it’s an opportunity to infuse personality and style into your space. Moving beyond traditional white tiles, a variety of materials and finishes can transform your kitchen into a captivating focal point.​

Glass Splashbacks

Pros: Glass offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with a vast array of colours and effects, including metallic hues like copper and bronze, as well as custom printed designs. Crafted from toughened glass, these splashbacks are both impact and heat resistant, providing durability alongside elegance.​

Cons: While glass is robust, it can be susceptible to scratches. To maintain its pristine appearance, gentle cleaning methods are recommended. For optimal installation and finish, professional fitting is advised.​

Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles

Pros: Tiles are celebrated for their heat, scratch, and water resistance. With an extensive selection of colours, sizes, and patterns—from classic white subway tiles to intricate handcrafted designs—you can create a unique statement that reflects your personal style. Additionally, tiles are a cost-effective option and relatively straightforward to install.​

Cons: Grout lines can accumulate dirt and may discolor over time if not cleaned regularly. Opting for darker grout colours can mitigate visible staining and simplify maintenance.​

Granite Splashbacks

Pros: Granite, a natural stone, boasts exceptional durability and heat resistance. Each slab features unique patterns and colours, adding a touch of exclusivity to your kitchen. Its polished finish enhances the overall aesthetic, making it a popular choice for high-end, bespoke kitchen designs.​

Cons: Being porous, granite requires periodic sealing to prevent staining. While it offers timeless beauty, it is on the higher end of the price spectrum and necessitates ongoing care to maintain its allure.​

Quartz Splashbacks

Pros: Engineered quartz combines strength with low maintenance. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns, it allows for seamless integration with various design themes. Unlike natural stones, quartz doesn’t require sealing, making it a practical and luxurious choice for contemporary kitchens.​

Cons: Professional installation is essential to ensure a flawless finish. While quartz is a premium material, its longevity and aesthetic appeal often justify the investment.​

Laminate Splashbacks

Pros: Laminate is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on style. It comes in numerous colours and high-definition finishes, including wood and stone effects, offering versatility in design. Easy to cut and install, laminate panels can achieve a seamless look when paired with matching worktops.​

Cons: While water-resistant, laminate is not suitable for areas directly behind gas hobs due to heat exposure. Ensuring appropriate clearance from heat sources is necessary to maintain its integrity.​
