Bronze Kitchen Splashbacks

Why choose a bronze splashback?

A bronze kitchen splashback delivers a sophisticated glow that compliments both classic and contemporary interiors. The subtle metallic tone reflects light, hides small cooking splatters better than pure mirror finishes and pairs effortlessly with timber, stone or matte cabinetry. From highly polished bronze mirror kitchen splashbacks to softly brushed metallic glass, ArchiPro’s suppliers offer solutions for every design vision.

Material options

1. Toughened bronze mirror glass

Made from safety-rated, heat-resistant glass compliant with AS 2208, this option creates a seamless reflective surface that visually enlarges smaller kitchens. Choose low-iron glass if you want a truer bronze tone without the green tinge.

2. Textured or painted glass

Back-painted bronze glass splashbacks can be colour-matched to benchtops and are available in matte or high-gloss finishes.

3. Bronze metallic laminate panels

Lightweight aluminium composite panels with a bronze anodised layer offer quick DIY installation and a realistic metallic sheen at a lower price point.

4. Bronze mosaic or large-format tiles

Tiles bring grout lines that add texture but require extra cleaning. Ensure tile and grout selections are rated for splash zones.

Size & layout guide

• Cooktop zone: The National Construction Code requires non-combustible surfaces at least 600 mm high behind gas burners. Always confirm with your installer.
• Full-height runs: Extending a bronze splashback from benchtop to upper cabinets (or ceiling) creates a luxurious, continuous wall of warmth.
• Window returns: Using slim bronze strips either side of a window can visually frame garden views while protecting plasterboard.

Installation tips & compliance

1. Measure twice: Exact wall dimensions and appliance locations prevent costly recuts.
2. Select correct glass thickness: 6 mm toughened is standard; 8–10 mm gives extra rigidity for panels longer than 2.4 m.
3. Allow expansion gaps: Silicone seal both top and bottom edges to accommodate heat movement.
4. Check safety codes: Refer to the Australian NCC wet area requirements for clearance rules around gas burners and power outlets.

Cleaning & maintenance

A soft microfibre cloth and pH-neutral glass cleaner keep bronze mirror splashbacks streak-free. Avoid abrasive pads that may scratch metallic coatings. For tiled installations, reseal grout annually to prevent discolouration.
