Benefits of Acrylic or PVC Kitchen Splashbacks

First of all, they provide protection from any unwanted splashes that can hit the wall while cooking on the hob. Over time, grease and other spillages will leave a lasting impression – so it’s important to keep your kitchen wall protected with a robust, yet stylish splashback panel that won’t look out of place.

Acrylic kitchen cooker splashbacks are a stylish, high-spec alternative to expensive glass splashbacks and time consuming tiling.

Where glass splashbacks can break, acrylic splashbacks are much less likely to – because they’re no less than 10 x stronger.

Where tiled splashbacks end up unhygienic with dirty grout, PVC kitchen splashback panels & acrylic kitchen sink splashbacks are hygienically seamless.

They’re also very easy to fit, carry and handle – which makes them a much safer alternative to glass and even metal kitchen splashbacks which are often heavy and therefore more complicated to install.

With our variety of different vibrant colours and styles within our product range – so if you’re stuck hob splashback ideas then you’ve certainly come to the right place.
 

What Should I Do Before Ordering a Perspex Kitchen Splashback?


First of all, you need to take some measurements.

See how much plastic you need to cover the surface area behind your hob or sink. Just make sure that there is a safe enough distance between the hob and where you plan to fix your splashback.

Acrylic is actually heat resistant up to 70 degrees – but it’s still wise to do your due diligence before you fix anything within close range of the hob.

The distance between the outer edge of an electric hob and the wall must be at least 60mm, while the distance for gas hobs must be at least 200mm.

Once you know your measurements, you’ll be able to get a quote.

If you notice that you need holes in the plastic to cater for plug sockets, then you can send us a drawing if you feel that helps.

 

How Do I Fit an Acrylic Kitchen Splashback?

The best kitchen splashbacks are those that are fitted safely and securely – so it’s important that you order with the right measurements.

There are a number of ways you can fix an acrylic splashback to a kitchen wall. You can bond the acrylic panel to the wall with high-strength adhesive – although it’s important to check that the wall is completely flat before you do this.

We can also drill holes into your order so you can screw the plastic into place if need be.

See our guide on acrylic splashback installation for more guidance on the best ways to go about doing this.

 

What Colours Can I Order?


In addition to our range of high gloss kitchen splashbacks and matt splashbacks – we also have a number of splashbacks available in a variety of different vibrant colours – from chilli red to spring green. It all depends on what you feel goes best with the design of your kitchen.

You can also purchase clear acrylic splashbacks with us if you prefer. As mentioned above, these are a more lightweight and durable alternative to glass – which makes them much safer for kitchen use.

For a more modern feel – sparkle acrylic splashbacks tend to work well in kitchens with a contemporary design throughout.
Again, it all depends on your personal preference.

 

What Are Your Kitchen Splashbacks Made From?


The acrylic kitchen splashbacks we sell are made from high-grade Perspex (which is a brand of acrylic) or PVC.

Perspex is a reputable supplier of strong acrylic sheets that are fit for purpose around the home and garden. Their product range is known for excellent performance in whatever setting they’re placed in.

Perspex kitchen splashbacks are no different.

Provided you’ve measured up correctly, you can expect your kitchen splashback to last years – while adding to the decorative style, design and overall character of your kitchen.
