Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Dec 10, 2008 9:53 am hi all, can anyone please tell me what the cost of glass splashback is per square metre?
We are after the "starfire" (not green) I am going to get a couple of quotes but just wanted a rough idea on what price I should be looking for thanks! Jo Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 4Dec 10, 2008 11:00 am Sorry to steal... but when you ask for glass splashback, do you have it installed on the back wall as well as the sides? My builder said that they will only be installing on the back wall... left and right sides not included. Not sure what they plan to put on the left and right end.

If you're building a new house then it's really up to you if you want to pay more for the sides. Hard to comment unless you post up a layout of your kitchen, best to start your own thread about it Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 6Dec 10, 2008 2:01 pm thanks for the replies.
we are having 2 cutouts for power points. We have overheads with a butterfly canopy range hood in between them I really like the look of the glass splashback going up behind the rangehood but I guess you dont mount the rangehood to the glass do the splashback suppliers customize the glass to suit behind the rangehood? how does that work? Jo Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 7Dec 10, 2008 2:06 pm Everything is customised - why else would you pay $500/m2 for raw material that costs less than $10m2?

Jo Yes it's customised. they come out, measure and give you a firm quote. Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 9Dec 10, 2008 3:22 pm thanks ed,
I just spoke to a supplier, as we have just finished our flatpack kitchen and DH cant get his head around what happens behind the rangehood. I guess the splashback cant be measured and installed til after the cs benchtops go in anyway. we were just confused about the bit behind the rangehood & price At least now I know we CAN afford it and they CAN customize it to accomodate behind the rangehood Jo Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 10Dec 10, 2008 5:03 pm Hey Zonk, all the above costs are pretty close to the mark for starphire ie $500-$600; our cutouts for the power/phone points are $70 each
Even though we have been given an indicative quote (based on our kitchen plan) the suppliers won't go on-site to measure until everything else in the kitchen is complete - hence they can customise to the millimetre ie. no estimating. We only have a slide-out rangehood so no problem there but we do have a big window which they need to customise around as well as the power points, phone point and rinnai controller so I know where your DH is coming from, lol.

one is to cut and install the glass around the rangehood. second is to install rangehood, remove rangehood, measure glass, install glass with the rangehood mounting holes, re-install rangehood over glass. sometimes the second option can be cheaper as there's less cutting involved.

Ed I'd love to know where you can get 6mm starphire at $10/sq m, last time I checked our price lists it was well above that! Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 13Dec 14, 2008 8:20 pm yes the raw material is cheap. However you have to toughen the glass then also spray it two pac. both these processes are expensive. Plus you need to program a cnc machine to cut out GPO. This makes glass splashback expensive Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 14Dec 14, 2008 8:24 pm borg yes the raw material is cheap.

This makes glass splashback expensive What I am getting at is where can you get 6mm starphire float (the raw material in this instance) for $10 sq/m. I can't even get 6mm CLEAR flot for that price. Must be import stuff.....more waves than bondi beach Re: indicative price for glass splashback? 15Dec 14, 2008 8:32 pm waylow borg yes the raw material is cheap.

Must be import stuff.....more waves than bondi beach I'll bet you a dollar that the stuff you use is imported... about 90% of glass in Australia is imported - from Indonesia, Taiwan and mainly China and India. China has better glass than Pilks (Veridian). They make some of Pilks stuff... Glass is too dear here... I can put you in touch with an importer but you would need the volume to make it economical.
