Browse Forums Kitchen Splashbacks Re: Tiles or glass splashback 42Mar 26, 2013 1:51 am If the house is modern you can go past glass splashbacks they are easy to clean and requires no maintenance and can be done in almost any colour. I got mine from glass100 in Perth. They provided a quick quote, and great service at a fair price. http://glass100.com.au/coloured-splashbacks/ Re: Tiles or glass splashback 44Nov 26, 2013 4:31 pm Hi everyone, I stumbled across this forum whilst doing lots of fruitless research. At the time of my kitchen rennovation I didn't have enough for a glass splashback and have existing tiles, plus broken tiles still up on the walls. I'm definitely leaning towards tiles (due to the cost) and saw that there was a place in Malaga that was recommended. Does anyone else have a good recommendation for a tile place that can also recommend style, colour, size then actually do the lay (if possible) ?

Does anyone else have a good recommendation for a tile place that can also recommend style, colour, size then actually do the lay (if possible) ? Just go and find the tiles you want and then employee a tiler to lay them. You will save yourself money!!

Have heard some horror stories about tiling so keen to get the best job possible. Have been looking at Crosby Tiles in Osborne Park WA (online that is) and BigA in Malaga - a trawl around the shops is needed I think - with the sister in tow! Re: Tiles or glass splashback 47Nov 27, 2013 12:40 pm We would have loved a glass splashback but couldn't justify the cost of it at the moment. Instead of standard ceramic tiles though, we chose polished porcelain. They have more of a glass look and have less grout in between meaning a bit easier to keep clean as well! Re: Tiles or glass splashback 48Nov 28, 2013 2:19 pm Thanks, Turquoise_Star. I wished I had have finished the kitchen off all together but wasn't expecting such damage to the existing tiles (naive, I know!) but now....a bit apprehensive about picking out the wrong tiles to finish off te kitchen and then ruining the whole look! Re: Tiles or glass splashback 49Jul 22, 2014 9:35 pm sooty I am getting a glass splashback, the total square metres are 2.65m with cutouts for power points. I have been quoted a maximum of $1590 to a minimum of $1255, that is metallic glass. Who was that through? I'm looking for glass splashbacks in perth but they are so expensive. Re: Tiles or glass splashback 50Jul 07, 2015 2:02 pm Glass Splashbacks are expensive because they are made from toughened glass. Toughened glass is cooked at high temperature to (temper) toughened it. Once it is toughened it cannot be cut. This means measurements of glass splashbacks are critical because if a tradesman is a few mm out then the whole peice of glass needs to be remade. In order to get a reasonable price I recommend going to a supplier that does a lot of them because they will have less wastage and will be able to price them more keenly. Glass 100 http://www.glass100.com.au/glass-splashbacks have done a number of splashbacks for both myself and people I know and the price has always been reasonable and their expertise and knowledge in this area is excellent.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ we have tiles . I don't think they look too bad. What do u guys think Re: Tiles or glass splashback 54Aug 09, 2015 8:48 am I very rarely clean my glass splashback, but I don't tend to throw food on it. Nor do I have reason to smear my fingers across it. Glass wipes work well apparently for quick easy cleaning. I have read that an issue with tiles can be the staining of the grout if not sealed properly. |
