you've seen 'em before put I'll put them up again!!!
inexpensive ceramic tiles with sealed grout - would have loved a metalic finish glass but like many others here the money ran out!
however Im extremly happy with the result as they tie all the colours in together.

leni your splashback is stunning! And the entire kitchen looks beautiful

+ 1...it's a beautiful tile

Hi,
This is ours. Not quite sure of the colour but it's a Citroen automotive colour. We were trying to achieve the "Java Dusk Metallic" like Suh's daughter. Not quite the same but we are happy with the outcome.

Lovely, both Troy and Lou!
So good to see these 2 similar colours in both glass and tile version!

Any larger pics of yours, Lou?

I wish Lex!! Unfortunately we live in a rural area & there wasn't much competition when it came to our kitchen so we settled on Laminex Pure Mineralstone. Our supplier quoted $7k on top for Ceaserstone benchtops.

I am kind of glad you have mistaken it for Ceaserstone though!!

There are some gorgeous splashbacks posted, i love that people all have different tastes and there are so many contrasts and ideas used.

We didn't go for glass as we had too many cutouts, and as we have built by water, i wanted something that reminded of water. It is a glass tile with a metallic silver background, quite thick and the tiler said was a buggar to install. but the final effect was just what I was after.

It is ' Red Desert'..i on starfire glass....is Red Desert a Dulux colour, coz that's the paint Henley use....

Went for some close encouters at a splashback place, but was told that the colour at the back of the glass can be damaged (discoloured) if the gas flame touches the glass OR if I put a (presumably) hot pot against the glass.
All this, and only 10 years warranty
Plus, they told me that a pure white (on starphire) is only about 95% pure, there will still be a blue tinge. Was strongly advised not to use pure white with white cabinets. I can't notice this slight difference on other people's pictures (who have pure white on white).

Thanks Handmick.

We're going with Red Box from Dulux. It looks so similar to the picture you posted I thought that was it. I couldn't find Desert Red on the Dulux or Taubmans sites so I'm not sure whose it is. Henley using Dulux on the walls doesn't necessarily mean the splashback company will use the same range. Looks fantastic. Can't wait for ours.

These all look so lovely,hope we can live up to the standards when we are doing ours!

Has anyone seem the splash-backs from Mitre 10,we just got the advert catologue & it has advertised
"Acrylic Splashbacks - 6mm,painted acrylic 725 x 12000mm @ $269 & 750 x 2400mm @ $479

These look pretty yummy,wonder what they are like IRL,might have to have a sqiz today.
Maybe not too good for behind stove but for everywhere else it could be a nice/cheaper option than glass

Hi Lex, a couple of larger photos as requested.




Cheers Lou

Wow, thanks Lou, and how nicely are all the colours combined! I really like these square splashback tiles, I'm used to rectangular ones by now! Are they 600x600 and porcelain?

take 2, love the window.. looks awesome.

pic from when we we're building, just got the keys yesterday so I'll get a more up to date photo soon with oven and rangehood installed and the right GPO screwed on the wall
