Handy Innovative Splashbacks® facts & why they are Australia’s #1 Glass Alternative Splashbacks
- Installs 4 times faster than glass and tiles
- Can be cut and drilled using normal woodworking tools at the point of installation
- Edges can be sanded or planed
- Innovative Splashbacks® are not transparent
- Can be installed over new or existing wall finishes
- Can be installed straight over existing tiled walls

- 6mm thick – so the clarity and depth of colour of Innovative Splashbacks looks exactly like glass splashbacks
- Innovative Splashbacks use a brand of acrylic which is world renowned for its quality, clarity and durability. It has been used in a mind boggling array of uses world-wide for over the past 80 years such as commercial aquariums and aircraft windows and windscreens
- There are no other glass alternative splashback products on the market with the same pedigree of durability and flexibility of use that Innovative Splashbacks® acrylic proudly has
- Innovative Splashbacks® can be used behind electric, induction and ceramic cooktops with a minimum 50mm clearance between edge of cooktop and front face of splashback panel
- For gas cooktops a distance of 200mm between the edge of the rear gas burner and the splashback is required. Alternatively we can supply stainless steel inserts for behind your cooktop to whatever width and height you require.
