Glass Splash backs

How do I fit my glass splashback?
Your glass splashback will be supplied with a silicone adhesive/sealant. WE do not recommend no nails or a non flexible adhesive material. The wall should be flat smooth and free from dust. It should be sealed with an appropriate sealer.
Run vertical lines of adhesive approx 6mm thick onto the silver foil reverse of the glass splashback. Sit 2mm spacers onto the worktop or upstand if applicable and offer splashback up to the wall. Push back against the wall and position. Secure over the face of the glass with a masking tape, support the bottom of the glass if required with baton etc. Leave to dry overnight.
The following day you should remove the tape and the spacers and cap off with silicone between the worktop/upstand and the glass with the silicone adhesive.

How do I measure for my Glass Splashback and how is it fitted?
If you have a simple rectangle we would recommend that you measure an exact tight size and then reduce this measurement by 2mm. If you have shapes or panels with socket cut outs then a template may be required - contact us for advice. Your splash back should be supplied with a silicone adhesive we do not recommend no nails or non flexible material. The wall should be flat smooth and free from dust.

If there is no worktop you will need a baton to stop the glass slipping whilst the adhesive dries.
