Product Information

Full details

This ALLOY splashback is ideal for small kitchens, utility rooms, or as a decorative panel behind hobs, offering a compact and stylish solution. Its primary benefit is the durable aluminium composite construction that resists stains, heat, and moisture, ensuring longevity and easy maintenance. A potential consideration is its specific dimensions (600mm x 800mm), which may not suit all spaces. Key features include its robust ACP build, reversible finishes, and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the splashback?

The ALLOY splashback measures 600mm in width, 800mm in height, and is 4mm thick.

Can I cut the splashback to size?

While ACP can be cut with appropriate tools, it is recommended to purchase the size that best fits your needs to avoid damage during cutting and to maintain the integrity of the finish.

Which side is considered the 'front'?

The splashback is reversible, meaning either the brushed brown/black side or the brushed copper/carbon side can be used as the visible front, depending on your preference.

Is this splashback suitable for behind a powerful gas hob?

It offers heat resistance, but always ensure there is adequate clearance between the hob and the splashback as recommended by the hob manufacturer and local building codes, especially for gas appliances.

How do I choose between the finish options?

Consider your existing kitchen color scheme and style. Brushed brown and brushed black offer a neutral, modern look, while brushed copper and brushed carbon can add a bolder, metallic accent.

What is the best way to clean it?

A soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbing pads.

Can this be used in a shower area?

While it resists moisture, it is primarily designed for kitchen environments and may not be suitable for direct, prolonged water exposure typical of shower areas.

Troubleshooting

Splashback appears to be uneven or bowed

Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat and dry before installation. If bowing occurs after installation, it may indicate an issue with adhesive application or uneven wall support. Check if fixings are too tight or too loose.

Finish is scratched or damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, some metal polishes designed for brushed finishes may help, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Deeper scratches may be permanent.

Adhesive is not holding the splashback securely

Ensure the correct type of adhesive for ACP and the wall substrate is used, and that surfaces are clean and dry. Follow adhesive drying times. If the issue persists, consider mechanical fixings in addition to or instead of adhesive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and resistant to common kitchen elements (stains, heat, moisture)
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Offers two distinct finish options for design flexibility
  • Sleek, modern appearance enhances kitchen aesthetics
  • Compact size suitable for smaller spaces

Cons

  • Fixed dimensions (600mm x 800mm) may not fit all areas
  • ACP material, while durable, may be susceptible to deep scratches if sharp objects are dragged across it
  • Requires proper installation to ensure full benefit of its protective qualities
  • May not cover the full height/width of all hob areas, depending on installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and level before installation. The splashback can typically be adhered using a strong, appropriate adhesive suitable for wall panels and composites, or mechanically fixed if preferred. Follow manufacturer guidelines for the specific adhesive or fixings recommended for ACP materials.

Compatibility: This splashback is designed for standard kitchen environments. It is suitable for use behind most electric and induction hobs, and for gas hobs with appropriate clearance as per local building regulations and hob manufacturer instructions. It is not intended as a heat shield for extremely high-temperature applications or direct flame contact.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive multi-surface cleaner can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
