How do I install a kitchen splashback?

Installing a kitchen splashback using wall panels is a simple DIY project that saves time and money compared to traditional options, like tiling. The tongue-and-groove system makes them straightforward to install, however preparation and measurements are still key: 

1. Preparation: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and flat. If you have existing tiles, you can install the panels directly over them.

2. Measuring: Measure your wall area three times to ensure accuracy.

3. Cutting: Cut your panels to size using a fine-tooth hand saw or jigsaw.

4. Adhesive: Apply a high-quality adhesive, such as Clad Grip, to the back of the panel in an 'S' or eye shape.

5. Fitting: Slot the panels into the appropriate trims and press firmly against the wall.

Are kitchen splashback panels easy to clean?

Yes, our wall panels are designed for effortless maintenance, making them ideal for busy UK households. Without the need for grout, there is no need to spend hours scrubbing mould and grime from porous joints. Keeping your walls clean has never been easier. 

To keep your splashbacks looking brand new, simply wipe your splashback down with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals and wipe your panels down with a clean cloth to prevent spots or streaks.

What materials are available for kitchen splashbacks?

When deciding on materials for kitchen splashbacks, the best option is something that is waterproof and will be able to protect the walls behind any areas where there will be water or steam. Materials like quartz, ceramic, stainless steel and lacquered glass are all good options, however many of our wall panels are 100% waterproof and provide good protection against moisture.

What colour splashback goes best with a grey kitchen?

Grey is a versatile, modern neutral that allows for various design directions. This versatility is largely why it’s become so popular in recent years as it allows a lot of freedom when you’re trying to choose colours for other elements of a room. 

Choosing your complementary colour depends on the kind of aesthetic you prefer in your home. For a contemporary feel, a monochrome look using white or light grey stone wall panels is ideal. To lean into an industrial feel, our red brick effect wall panels will work well to create an urban vibe in a grey kitchen.

What colour splashback goes best with a white kitchen?

A white kitchen serves as the perfect blank canvas, allowing you to either maintain a minimalist look or create a striking focal point.

• Minimalist: Gloss white or white marble effect panels create a seamless, "all-white" look that makes smaller kitchens feel significantly larger and brighter.

• Contrast: Black or dark grey concrete effect panels provide a sharp, modern contrast that suits industrial-style interiors.

• Glamour: Platinum white sparkle panels add subtle texture and a reflective "glitz" without overwhelming the space.

What colour splashback goes best with a blue kitchen?

Choosing the right colour splashback to go with a blue kitchen will depend entirely on the look and feel you’re aiming for in your kitchen. We recommend going for designs that enhance the calming tones that blue tends to bring into a room. 

For a fresh and crisp feel, bringing in bright white provides a classic contrast that highlights the blue cabinetry, perfect for a coastal look. For a more moody feel, pair grey marble or light concrete effect panels to complement darker blues.

What are the current kitchen splashback trends?

Current kitchen splashback trends include incorporating warm colours, varied textures and bold statement splashbacks. Furthermore, merging these aesthetic elements with high functionality is a must in 2026. 

Opt for our concrete or brick effect wall panels to make a bold, industrial statement. These panels are 100% waterproof and easy to clean, making them a functional choice for any kitchen splashback.

What colour splashback goes best with a cream kitchen?

Cream kitchens offer a warm, traditional feel that suits soft, complementary tones. Here are some of the top wall panel splashback ideas for cream kitchens: 

• Colour drenching: Beige or sand-coloured stone effect panels maintain a relaxing, inviting sanctuary feel without the starkness of pure white.

• Subtle Detail: Patterned panels in muted tones, such as the Swish Marbrex range, add visual interest without clashing with the softness of the cabinetry.

How high should a kitchen splashback be?

The standard height of a kitchen splashback should be 60cm above your kitchen worktops, covering the area between the counter and the underside of your wall cabinets. However, you can choose to adjust this based on your existing fixtures and personal preferences. 

You can also opt to install a splashback to cover the entire wall for a maximalist look, or if you prefer a minimalist look, you are able to install a basin-style splashback that’s 4-inches high and provides basic protection against moisture.

What colour splashback complements a sage green kitchen?

Sage green has become a popular choice for kitchens in recent years, allowing people to bring both a pop of colour and a natural, earthy feel into their kitchen. Matching a splashback to your sage green kitchen will depend on the vibe you’re looking to create: 

• Natural feel: Light oak slat wall panels or wood-effect cladding enhance the botanical feel of sage green, creating a calm environment. Be sure to confirm whether the wall panels you opt for are 100% waterproof before ordering and installing. 

• Crisp cleanliness: White gloss or white marble panels provide a clean, crisp contrast that makes the green tones "pop" and keeps the kitchen feeling bright.

• Warm and earthy: Stone or slate effects in light grey or beige complement the organic nature of sage green for a sophisticated, rustic look.

How do you remove a kitchen splashback?

This will depend on what kind of splashback that you have installed. Removing a tiled splashback will require a bit more work than if you were removing a lacquered glass or wall panelled splashback. 

If you’re looking to remove a wall panelled splashback, you’re in for a speedy removal process. Clear the area and isolate any electrical connections, remove any sealant with a Stanley knife and gently lever a flat tool or scraper to get behind the panel. Then, carefully peel the panel away from the wall. If screws were used, ensure these are removed first.
