Also I am not sure I have interpreted the BCA correctly but if you have an electric cooktop I don't think you are required to have a non-combustible splashback at all. I think you are correct on both counts bdn but seeing as gas cooktops seem to be almost the defacto cooktop these days I thought I'd use the BCA as a guideline for most kitchens. I also don't think you'd see many kitchens with a 150mm strip for fireproofing on the wall and a different surface above that height. Most people seem to have either a glass or stainless steel splashback or large tiles. Like CEK I've seen quite a few kitchens burnt out because of either a frying pan or pot of oil catching fire. The less combustible areas in the vicinity of the cooktop the better in my book no matter whether if it is gas , electric or other.

I cant comment on the BCA but I wouldn't be comfortable with any splashback that wasn't fire resistant/fire proof! An electric cooktop can still produce an oil fire in a fry pan! You wouldn't believe the number of cooktop fires that I have had to repair/replace kitchens. I have seen rangehoods catch on fire because of an oil fire below. Cutting corners or just doing what is required with a splashback behind a cooktop could lead to big problems in the future! Fair enough! I've also wondered why the rules are different for gas than others, it really doesn't make any sense. |
