Kitchen Glass Back Splash Beautiful Easy to Clean and Durable Resis Heat
Glass kitchen backsplashes in 2022 kitchen trends
A kitchen backsplash will add prestige and character to any kitchen as it easily enhances its beauty. That said though, here are some guidelines to help you choose the right material for your upcoming backsplash project based on current trends.
What is a kitchen backsplash anyway?
A backsplash is a decorative and functional element that protects a wall from water splashes, spills, dust, and grease build up. It is most often installed above the cooking area or sink.
They are widely available in many different materials and can be easily adapted to any style of kitchen decor. Adding a backsplash to a kitchen the "right way", which in our opinion will be with glass, will typically increase the overall value of a home, or at least its kitchen!
What are the different types of backsplashes?
Backsplashes are available in a wide variety of materials, textures, and colors. They come in tempered glass, ceramic, wallpaper and even concrete and wood. In the last decade, in higher-end homes, have used granite, quartz and marble in the backsplashes used. Some of these materials are expensive and so once installed ideally require special care for their optimal maintenance.
Below, we'll dive into the characteristics of the different materials used for the backsplash:
Tempered glass
Glass is endowed with reflective qualities that help spread light throughout a room. When choosing glass as a material for your kitchen backsplash, it is ideal to choose tempered glass. Tempered glass has been treated with rapid heating and cooling processes ("tempering") to optimize its resistance to impact and temperature changes, but also to improve its durability. It has been shown to be three to five times stronger than conventional untreated glass. A glass backsplash is therefore an excellent choice to beautify and help keep your kitchen nice & tidy.
Ceramic
For a backsplash, ceramic – specifically in the form of tile – is still a very popular material of choice. Available in a multitude of colours and shapes, smooth or textured, it adapts to the decorative style you prefer. Ceramic tile has excellent durability if chosen with quality. It is also economical and easy to maintain.
Wallpaper
Science has made it possible to evolve the classic wallpaper, especially in terms of its resistance. A backsplash is very economical when made of wallpaper, but it must be protected with a glass panel, especially if it is placed over a cooktop. There are also self-adhesive vinyl and metallic paper tiles that can be used to make a backsplash; again, they must be of high quality. If you're looking for durability, you'll want to invest in a tempered glass backsplash.
Concrete
In a modern or decidedly contemporary setting, concrete finds its place as a material for a kitchen backsplash. It is available as tiles or panels held in place with a backing. It is not recommended to leave it raw; in fact, it is essential to seal it.
Wood
This natural material with a warm appearance can be found anywhere in a home, even in a backsplash. However, you should not leave the wood unfinished; the application of a varnish adapted to the constraints of a kitchen is a must.
Why choose a glass backsplash?
Not only does glass bring an inimitable touch of light to any kitchen, but its great advantage is its versatility. Available in a wide range of hues, a glass kitchen backsplash can add a splash of color to a clean, white room; it can also be chosen in a soft, neutral tone to blend in with your current decor. There are even backsplashes that can be patterned for added originality and can also be lacquered. The ease of maintenance of the glass backsplash is another great advantage, as is its durability. Its uniform and smooth finish can be cleaned in a jiffy with a microfiber cloth or a sponge and a little mild cleaning product.
Why use a glass company?
Choosing a company that can manufacture and build a backsplash to your specific specifications is for many reasons the best way to go. If you do choose to use glass for your backsplash material and you live in Montreal or a nearby municipality, you won't have any problems because we fabricate directly in Montreal and install throughout the greater Montreal area. Worthwhile keeping in mind is the fact that a poor installation can ruin the look of a beautiful backsplash!
If you don't have the know-how to install it yourself, or a contractor to do this for you, then it is best to let the manufacturer do the installation for you. You'll be assured that everything will be done properly and you'll have a guarantee for the work done.
