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
