While at Bunnings yesterday, I was advised by one of the guys (two actually !) NOT to put glass splashback near gas cooktop ! electric cooktop might still be ok, but definitely not gas (because of the flame).
I have had 2 cabinet makers and one Kitchen Renovation company person come to our kitchen (to give a quote), none of them has mentioned that (except that glass is a lot deared compared to tiles !).
Would appreciate advice/comment please. thanks.
