Kitchen Splashbacks
A kitchen splashback protects the wall behind cooking and food preparation areas while contributing to the overall look of the kitchen. Mr Splashback Ace measures, plans and installs kitchen splashbacks for residential homes in the Perth southern suburbs.
The purpose of a kitchen splashback
A kitchen splashback protects the wall behind a cooktop, sink or benchtop from splashes, spills and everyday cooking mess. It also forms part of the overall look of the kitchen, tying together the benchtop, cabinetry and surrounding finishes.
Planning and measuring
Every kitchen is a slightly different shape, and splashback areas are often interrupted by power points, cabinetry, windows and appliances. Careful measuring and planning at the start of the project helps determine layout, tile or panel sizing, and how the splashback will meet edges, corners and benchtops.
Preparation
The wall behind the new splashback is prepared so the surface is suitable for installation. This can include assessing the existing wall finish and any surfaces that need to be addressed before work begins — specific preparation steps depend on the condition of your kitchen and will be discussed as part of your quote.
Installation, at a high level
Once the area is prepared and materials are confirmed, installation follows the planned layout, working around power points, cabinetry and benchtop edges. Time is taken to keep lines straight and joins consistent.
Layout, grout and finishing
Layout decisions — such as where a splashback starts and ends, and how it steps around corners or windows — affect the finished look as much as the material itself. Grout colour and finishing details are considered as part of the overall project so the completed splashback looks intentional, not an afterthought.
