Hi all,
glass splashbacks are as we know all the rage. But how much do we know of their durability & quality?
How do they measure up, long term, to daily kitchen adtivities ? Does the painted back deteriorate over time? If the sealed edges b/t splashback & benchtop are not perfectly siliconed, what happens to the painted back?

We cut a template with cardboard then took it to a glazier to cut. We painted it ourselves then installed it ourselves. Saved a bomb doing it this way.
