We have double glazing and seeing as this window won't be getting curtains its important it's double glazed too, so I'm expecting it to come back a tonne more in the revised tender, once they price up a double glazed one, unless it's possible that the silicone jointed one was double glazed? seems unlikely to me. So everyone, what seems reasonable, especially considering we'll have a normal tiled splashback between the window and bench/cooker etc. I'm just after clear, not opaque Re: Anyone used a window for a splashback and any regrets? 36Aug 15, 2013 9:11 pm Vetra43 people with window as splashbacks - how are you dealing with privacy? ..

Sometimes less is more!

You either clean it after every cook, put up with the greasy window or Buy a large chopping board to place behind the cooktop to intercept the splatter while you cook. They look great in display houses because those homes aren't in use. The moment you start living with a window splash back, they become an added chore you didn't have before. With the position of kitchens and sizes of blocks these days, most look out on to a fence which adds extra costs to you to do something about (i.e. vertical garden etc.). My preference is to avoid them. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig.
