Showerline: Places To Use Glass Splashbacks Other Than The Kitchen

Thinking of renovating your home or office, but plants, paintings, or other popular accessories don’t fit your style? Have you thought about adding some Glass Splashbacks?

The kitchen is a popular space to install these beautiful glass designs, but you might want to spice up your bedroom or bathroom, right?

Luckily these glass accessories can easily be installed anywhere, not just the kitchen! Here are a few ideas to help inspire you to install glass designs in other parts of your home or office.

Install Glass Splashbacks in Your Bedroom

Although a bit more expensive than regular splashbacks in your kitchen or bathroom, a glass design or a simple colour is the perfect solution if you’d like to add style to your bedroom without compromising on elegance or cluttering your space.

Have you ever thought of adding a Glass Splashback to the wall behind your bed? Or to another wall, almost like a glass portrait?

Please keep in mind that Showerline consultants can install wall splashbacks up to a specific size. They divide the glass up into a few pieces which will then be put together on the wall, meaning it won’t be a seamless application. This would be a great opportunity to create a mosaic-styled design!

On Your Closet Doors

Add some splashbacks to your closet doors. You can choose between a solid colour, an illustration, or mirrored glass.

If a Glass Splashback isn’t the only item you’d like to install, here’s why bath screens are another great option.

Benefits of Glass Splashbacks

Not convinced yet? Here are five benefits of installing Glass Splashbacks.

1) Hygienic & Low Maintenance

Glass is one of the view materials naturally impenetrable by water and bacteria, allowing it to be the perfect hygienic element to add to your kitchen. It can also be cleaned repeatedly without losing its original appearance.

Because of its smooth surface, there aren’t many hard to reach places when you are cleaning a glass splashback, unlike tiles which can collect grime and grease if not cared for properly. Grout can become high maintenance as it can wear down over time, making it harder to keep clean.

Spills and other messes can easily be wiped away with a cloth

2) Heat Resistant

Toughened safety glass is the best material to make use of in places where there is heat involved, like your kitchen, as it can handle temperatures up to 243°C. This type of glass can be up to five times stronger than ordinary glass.

3) Cost-Effective

Another great reason to install Glass Splashbacks? Cost-effectiveness. These accessories will save money in the long run as they can last for years if cared for.

4) No Hassle

Homeowners are constantly on the search for quick renovations to their home without it taking too long and prohibiting from continuing with their day to day activities.

What might bother homeowners is the thought of installing Glass Splashbacks taking a while before it’s completed. After all, you can’t cook in someone else’s kitchen while you wait!

The only time-consuming part of the installation is getting the right measurements and cutting the glass. Once that’s achieved, installation only takes a few minutes to an hour. Technicians make use of strong glue or screws to attach the splashbacks.

5) Aesthetic & Customisation

With Glass Splashbacks, you can easily add a pop of colour or make your space look stylish and trendy. There are so many colours available with glass, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from which will easily fit with your existing décor.

Great colours to help create striking contrasts in your space are blue, red, purple, and lime. Glass Splashbacks also have the ability to reflect light, which would help give the impression that your kitchen, bedroom, etc. appears larger and brighter than it is.

You’ll also have the option to add Glass Splashbacks with prints and remember, Glass Splashbacks are custom-made, so it will fit perfectly with your décor.
