Kitchen Splashbacks

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.

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

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

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

• 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.

Wondering about kitchen colour schemes with a bronze splashback? Try these palettes:

• Earthy luxury: Walnut cabinetry, ivory stone benchtop, gunmetal tapware.
• Modern contrast: Matte black cabinets, white engineered quartz, brushed bronze handles.
• Scandi warmth: Light oak veneer, soft-grey benchtop, muted brass fixtures.

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.

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.
