Glass prints and splashbacks

What can I expect?

Our hardened safety glass has a thickness of 6mm and is equipped with a UV and heat resistant protection layer. Your photo will be printed onto the back of the glass, the edges are polished and have an bevel of 1x1mm. You can choose a glass painting or glass splash back. Also available as a 2-piece, 3-piece or 4-piece.


What does hardened (tempered) safety glass mean?

Tempered safety glass is up to 5 times stronger than unhardened glass and is therefore also heat resistant. Should the glass break, it will disintegrate into small, harmless pieces.


Is a glass backsplash fire resistant?

No, our glass splashbacks are not fire resistant. Direct contact with a flame can cause damage. However, the glass is heat resistant up to 200°C and therefore suitable to install as a splashback behind your burner, as long as you ensure that there is no direct contact with the heat source or hot cooking pots and pans.


How do I measure for a glass splash back?

To achieve the best possible end result, we recommend measuring the height and width on the left, right and in the middle. Use the smallest size when placing your order and subtract 4 mm each time. You can fill any gaps afterwards with a silicone sealant. Use waterproof silicone for a bathroom splash back and heat-resistant silicone for a kitchen splash back.


Can I order any size I want?

Our glass paintings have a maximum size of 160 cm x 120 cm. If you wish to order a larger format, your photo will automatically be divided into several plates of the same width. We guarantee that the seams between the plates fit perfectly.


Is it possible to personalize the shape of my glass splash back?

Hell yes! In the editing tool you can indicate the desired shape and any recesses. If necessary, you can check the option “Multi-part” to divide your photo into different plates. You can then enter the desired width for each plate.


How do I need to mount my glass purchase?

You can fix glass splash backs and tiles with a very strong and non-aggressive adhesive. We recommend “Pattex 100% Crystal” for this. If desired, you can immediately add it to your order. You can hang a painting on glass with an (invisible) aluminum frame or with stainless steel spacers. During the ordering process you can indicate your preference, or you can continue without a hanging system.


What is the weight of a glass plate?

Our glasses weigh about 14 kg / m2.


What is the difference between the tempered glass and the extra clear tempered glass?

Extra clear tempered glass is virtually colorless, so the bright colors of your photo are guaranteed to be preserved. This makes it recommended for photos with white or very light colors. Tempered glass, on the other hand, has a light green appearance due to the presence of iron oxidation. However, it will barely be visible in color photos.


Does my wall needs to be completely smooth for a glass splash back?

The wall does not have to be perfectly smooth. Simply apply some extra glue to the uneven areas.


Can I mount the splash back against my tiles in the kitchen?

Yes, that's possible. You will only need extra glue. You can fill any gaps with a silicone sealant afterwards. Use waterproof silicone for a bathroom splashback and heat-resistant silicone for a kitchen splashback.


How can I indicate where my cutouts should be?

You send cut-outs afterwards by e-mail via a detailed drawing on which you note all dimensions. By this we mean the exact dimensions of the place where the recess should be, as well as the size of the recess itself. See an example here.


How do I maintain glass?

You can easily clean glass with warm water, soft detergent and a soft cloth. Our glass is scratch resistant, but scouring pads can leave traces with frequent use. Under no circumstances use aggressive cleaning detergents.


What is the delivery time of glass?

All our products are printed in our own workshop, so that we can guarantee a fast delivery. The production time of glass is 20-22 working days. Production takes a little longer because the glass takes a few days to harden before it can be printed and shipped. As soon as your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation by email. Delivery takes about 2 working days.


Is a glass back splash fire resistant?

No, the glass back splashes aren’t fire resistant. If in direct contact with fire, damages can occur. The glass is heat resistant and therefor suitable as a back splash in a kitchen behind the stove, as long as you make sure there is no direct contact with the heat source or hot cooking pots and pans.
