What Is a Glass Splashback?

A glass splashback is a single sheet of toughened glass fitted to the wall behind a kitchen bench, hob, or sink in place of tiles. It is cut to your exact measurements, available in almost any colour or finish, and has no grout lines to collect grease or grime.

GlacierLite supplies and installs toughened glass splashbacks as a standalone service — you don’t need to be replacing windows or doors to get one fitted. It’s the same glass-cutting and installation skillset behind our glass replacement work, applied to kitchens and bathrooms.

Why Choose a Glass Splashback

Heat & Moisture Resistant

Toughened glass handles the heat and steam behind a hob or sink without cracking, warping, or discolouring over time.

Easy to Clean

One continuous sheet with no grout lines means no scrubbing grease out of grout — a wipe-down keeps it looking new.

Any Colour or Finish

Painted to match your exact colour, or clear over a feature wall, tile, or wallpaper — splashbacks are made to order, not off the shelf.

Measured to Fit

Cut and toughened to your exact wall and benchtop dimensions, including cut-outs for power points and switches.

Where We Fit Glass Splashbacks

Kitchen splashbacks behind the hob and bench are the most common job, but toughened glass panels work anywhere you want a durable, easy-clean surface — laundries, bathroom feature walls, and behind a bar or servery. Glass is toughened for safety before it leaves the factory, so it meets the same safety-glass standard used in shower screens and other wet-area glazing.

Splashbacks can be fitted directly over existing tiles in many cases, avoiding the mess and cost of a full tile removal — we’ll confirm what your specific wall needs at the free measure and quote.

Both work well behind a kitchen benchtop, but they suit different priorities. A glass splashback is a single seamless panel with no grout lines to clean and no risk of individual tiles cracking or coming loose over time. Tiles offer more texture and pattern choice, and a single damaged tile can sometimes be replaced without redoing the whole area. If low-maintenance and a clean, uninterrupted look matter most, glass is usually the better fit.
The panel is custom-cut and toughened to order after your measure, so there is a manufacturing lead time before installation. Installation itself is typically completed in a single visit.
Yes. The same toughened glass panels work well in laundries, bathrooms, and behind a bar or servery — anywhere you want a durable, easy-clean surface.
