The materials alupanel, plexiglass and HPL are the most suitable for use as a kitchen splashback. All three of these materials are beautiful to look at, and also easy to keep hygienically clean. Another great advantage of plastic kitchen splashbacks is their ease of installation. You simply glue them in place, and that’s it! This saves you a lot of time and money on a handyman.
Please note: plastic may deform or discolour when exposed to high temperatures. So make sure that no steam or heat from, for example, a kettle or pan comes into contact with the plastic kitchen splashback.
When choosing a kitchen splashback, please follow these guidelines. For wall panels near ceramic cooktops, maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm. No minimum distance is required for induction cooktops. Do not use plastic panels near a gas stove.
High temperatures can deform or discolor plastic. This means that steam or heat from appliances such as a kettle, pot, or cooktop should not come into contact with the plastic kitchen splashback.

What you can save by choosing plastic makes everyone happy. That’s because of these 3 major advantages.
Quick and easy assembly
You can quickly and easily assemble the splashback yourself. Moreover, we provide you with several tools to help you on your way. In the chapter “How do I mount a new kitchen back panel?” you will find both a step-by-step plan and a handy explanatory video.
Low maintenance
A synthetic kitchen splashback is very low maintenance. All you have to do is clean it every now and then with a mild detergent. This will save you a lot of time and money!
Long lifespan
The lifespan of synthetic materials as a kitchen splashback can easily be decades. This long life means you can be sure of saving yourself a lot of time and money in the long run.
Besides plastic, glass is also regularly used as a kitchen splashback. The table above shows the relationship between glass and plastic. As you can see in the table, glass is less suitable than plastic as a kitchen splashback for several reasons. Glass is more expensive than plastic and there are also a number of hurdles to overcome when fitting a glass plate in the kitchen.
Processing glass is a lot less straightforward than processing plastic. For example, glass breaks a lot faster than plastic. But even in daily use, a crack quickly appears. It only takes one pan to slide against it, and before you know it you are looking for a replacement kitchen splashback. A glass kitchen splashback, on the other hand, is long-lasting, heat-resistant to a certain degree and offers the possibility of printing an image on it. But for a real durable choice, plastic is by far the best choice because of its hygiene, low costs, great ease of installation, aesthetic looks and long life!
