Glass splashbacks have become an increasingly popular addition to modern kitchens, offering a sleek, hygienic, and functional alternative to traditional tiled surfaces. At The Online Glass Shop, we specialise in the manufacture and supply of bespoke, high-quality toughened glass splashbacks that not only elevate the visual appeal of your kitchen but also provide a range of practical benefits. Whether you're installing a hob splashback or a full-length feature behind your sink, our products offer a durable, easy-to-clean solution that complements all styles of home.
What is a glass splashback?
A glass splashback is a protective panel made of toughened glass, that is mounted on the wall behind cookers, hobs, sinks, or worktops to shield the surface from water splashes, cooking oils, grease, and other types of residue. Designed for both function and aesthetics, splashbacks help preserve the wall surface while adding a decorative element to the room.
Unlike traditional materials such as tiles, glass splashbacks are formed from a single smooth panel. This means there are no grout lines where dirt can accumulate, making them a cleaner and more contemporary alternative.
Why install a glass splashback in your kitchen?
A glass splashback brings together form and function in a way that few other materials can. If you're renovating your kitchen or simply looking for a practical upgrade, here's why a kitchen splashback made of glass is a solid investment.
• A hygienic, non-porous solution: Kitchen splashbacks are constantly exposed to steam, grease, and moisture. One of the major advantages of glass is that it is far less porous than materials like tile or natural stone. This means it is more resistant to staining, bacterial growth, and mould - crucial factors in any food preparation area.
Unlike tiles, which require frequent scrubbing of grout lines to keep clean, a single-panel glass splashback has no joints or seams. A simple wipe-down with a cloth and mild detergent is all it takes to keep the surface spotless and hygienic.
• Perfectly safe for installation behind gas hobs: All splashbacks manufactured by The Online Glass Shop are made from toughened glass. This means they have undergone a rigorous heating and cooling process to significantly increase their strength and resistance to thermal stress. As a result, our kitchen splashbacks are perfectly safe to install behind gas cookers, hobs, and other heat-producing appliances.
The toughened glass we use is not only heat resistant but also impact resistant, making it ideal for busy kitchens where accidents can happen. Whether you're using a gas hob or an electric one, our hob splashbacks will stand up to the demands of daily use without compromising on safety.
• Easy to clean and maintain: Cleaning tiled splashbacks can be a time-consuming chore, particularly when it comes to keeping the grout lines free from dirt and discolouration. With a glass splashback, this issue is eliminated entirely.
Our high-quality glass surface is non-stick and stain resistant. Cooking splatters and grease simply wipe away, leaving no trace behind. This makes glass kitchen splashbacks a low-maintenance choice for anyone who values cleanliness and convenience. The sleek surface also repels moisture, helping to reduce the risk of damp patches or mould developing in wet areas.
• Stylish and customisable: Whether you're looking for a clear, coloured, printed, or black glass finish, The Online Glass Shop has a wide variety of options to suit every taste and kitchen layout. Our state-of-the-art UV flatbed glass printers allow us to produce stunning custom designs that can incorporate colours, patterns, or even photographs to reflect your individual style.
Our range includes classic black glass splashbacks, modern coloured splashbacks, and bespoke printed options for homeowners who want something completely unique. From minimalist kitchens to bold, eclectic designs, our products allow you to express your personality while keeping your space protected.
• Seamless installation: Our splashbacks are manufactured to precise dimensions using the latest machinery, ensuring a flawless fit every time. Whether you need a simple hob splashback or a full-wall kitchen splashback, we offer a made-to-measure service that ensures a perfect finish, with pre-cut sections for sockets or other fixtures if required.
Because each splashback is custom-made, you can rest assured that installation will be straightforward, with no awkward gaps or misalignments.
Why choose The Online Glass Shop?
We take pride in producing some of the highest quality kitchen splashbacks available on the market. Here's why thousands of homeowners across the UK choose to buy from us.
• Expert artisanship: All of our splashbacks are crafted in-house using toughened Opti-White glass. This type of glass is known for its superior clarity and brightness, meaning that colours appear more vibrant and designs sharper. Opti-White is also low in iron content, eliminating the green tint often visible in standard glass - a key advantage for achieving a crisp, clean look.
• Advanced printing technology: We operate two high-end UV flatbed glass printers, enabling us to print directly onto glass for lasting, high-resolution designs. This technology allows for a level of customisation that is not possible with many other manufacturers. Whether you want a single solid colour or a detailed image, we can bring your vision to life on a durable glass surface.
• Custom solutions: No two kitchens are the same, which is why we offer fully bespoke splashback solutions. Our experienced team can guide you through the measuring and ordering process, ensuring you get the right fit and finish for your space. You can choose from an array of styles, finishes, and cut-outs, and we will manufacture your splashback to exact specifications.
• Outstanding customer service: From initial enquiry through to delivery, our team is here to support you. We're committed to making the process of choosing and ordering your new kitchen splashback as simple and stress-free as possible.
