Use Glass Splashbacks to Update Your Kitchen's Interior Design
Posted on: 27 October 2016
If your splashbacks are beginning to look drab and stained, chances are they are affecting the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. The last thing you would want is your kitchen looking dirty, as this is where the food comes from! One of the appealing materials that you could consider for replacing your splashbacks is glass. Some people may falsely assume that glass may not hold well to the kitchen environment. The truth is the splashbacks are made from tempered glass, thus making them just as strong as the tiles that you previously had. Additionally, they add a contemporary and sleek appearance to your kitchen, which will make it appear modern and new. Below are some of the reasons why glass splashbacks are a great addition to any kitchen.
Glass splashbacks reflect light
Natural light is a premium in any home, no matter the room. Lighting is even more important in the kitchen as you need to see what you are doing and have accurate visuals on the appearance of your food. As such, it is not surprising that kitchens will have different types of lighting such as overhead lighting as well as task lighting.
Nevertheless, what this does is increase the energy consumption of your kitchen. By opting for glass splashbacks, you organically enhance the illumination in your kitchen. Strategically placing these splashbacks on other areas and simply not over sinks and stovetops can contribute considerably to the overall natural lighting in the room.
Glass splashbacks are easy to maintain
If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you know that spills and stains are inevitable. Since it is difficult to clean while you cook, some people will simply let the dirt accumulate and then do a thorough cleaning once they are done cooking the meal. With other types of materials, such as unglazed tiles, this short period is enough to allow stains to permeate into the tile. As such, you find your tile splashbacks starting to look old prematurely. Not to mention that grout is a stain magnet as it is difficult to keep it pristinely white.
Glass splashbacks will considerably ease the burden of keeping a clean kitchen. Firstly, they are seamless. This means there are no grout lines that will be exposed to dirt. Secondly, they are impervious. Therefore, stains and spills can easily be wiped away without too much elbow grease. You now can enjoy cooking and create a mess without having to dread the cleaning process.
