TIA Building The Oceanic with Nautilus Upgrades by Dale Alcock Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=45433&p=687574#p687574 KEYS! 28.9.11 Re: Glass and Mirror Splash backs? 2Oct 11, 2010 11:08 pm Hi TIA, We put in a 2.5m x 800mm green glass splash back. Looks great. We don't often clean it, though I suppose it depends on how "messy" you are when cooking. We don't often fry, maybe the reason. But, when you consider if using tiles, you have the potential of grease etc getting into the grout lines, which IS difficult to remove. Cleaning when it happens takes a few minutes, and back like new again. In the process of a new build and will be putting in a 4.5 metre splash back, again in glass. Take the plunge, you will not be disappointed.

TIA This made me chuckle HE says no way because of the cleaning so he is going to clean it for you tell him YOU will clean it constantly if needed. I have glass and the cleaning is not constant and is so simple it's ridiculous. Re: Glass and Mirror Splash backs? 4Oct 12, 2010 11:14 am In a word: Glass splashback....yeah I know that's two words. We've done it and looks great and I even clean it and I'm a bloke. We're building again and will definitely be putting in a splash back, the 'cook' can't seen to make up her mind on the colour though, might be going towards a metallic gray I think. Our Bondi Greenwall was impressive from day one with advanced lush plants to provide a wow factor to this recently renovated living area. The boundary was less than 1… 0 15290 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Ditto 3M Claw, expensive but best thing I've used to date. I put two of the 11kg ones in for a 12kg mirror on the wall, and its been great for 4 years now. 4 1554 |
