FAQs
Is the Mississippi Pine splashback suitable for use behind a gas cooktop?
It is generally recommended to keep the splashback away from direct open flames. Please verify local building codes regarding required clearances from gas burners.
Does this splashback require oiling like real wood?
No, this is an engineered product and does not require any oiling, sealing, or sanding.
Can I use abrasive sponges to clean the texture?
No, abrasive sponges or steel wool can damage the textured grain surface; use only soft cloths or sponges.
How do I measure for a custom cut?
Measure your wall area precisely and subtract small expansion gaps as recommended in the technical installation manual.
Is the material waterproof?
The surface is highly moisture-resistant, making it ideal for kitchen use; however, ensure all edges are properly sealed to prevent water ingress behind the panel.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears dull or has a film
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Adhesive failing to bond
Ensure the wall surface was properly degreased and primed according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions prior to installation.

Cons
- Not suitable for direct exposure to open flames or extreme heat sources

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper installation, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and perfectly flat. Use recommended adhesives that are compatible with the backing material of the splashback. When measuring, account for necessary expansion gaps if specified by the manufacturer's installation guide. For ongoing care, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and a soft cloth to clean the surface. Avoid the use of scouring pads, steel wool, or abrasive cleaning powders, as these can dull the textured grain over time. Always ensure a minimum safe distance from gas cooktops or open heat sources as per local building codes.
