Reflect on the brillian The glass making process was discovered thousands of years ago, resulting in highly prized jewellery and table vessels which were traded across the ancient world.

Splashbacks are large format glass tiles, originally intended to be placed behind a cooking hob. Upstands were designed to be placed either side of a splashback when used behind a cooking hob to protect walls behind work surfaces. Our large panel Splashbacks are made from heat-resistant toughened glass, which is perfectly safe for use behind cooking hobs (close to sources of heat), but there’s no need to stop there. You can enjoy the translucent beauty of this versatile material on interior walls such as kitchens, dining areas, living rooms and bathrooms throughout your home – and it is...

As they are made from toughened heat-resistant glass, Splashbacks themselves cannot be cut. However the co-ordinating Upstands (which are not made from toughened glass) can easily be cut like our other glass tiles when needed to fit around appliances, cupboards and fittings.
