3. What types of glass do you use?

   At Ultimate Sydney Splash Backs, we use the following two types of glass:

   • Standard clear glass
   • Starphire glass

    All glass contains a certain amount of iron which appears green in colour. Starphire glass contains less iron than standard clear glass and is therefore less green in colour. Starphire glass provides a truer representation of your selected colour. Our staff can advise you regarding the suitability of either glass type based on your selected colour choice.

4. Is the glass made to Australian Standards?

   Definitely. At Sydney Splashbacks, we use 6mm toughened safety glass for all our splashback panels.

5. At what stage should I schedule a measure and quote?

   All cabinetry and bench tops need to be installed prior to a measure being conducted. Additionally, all electrical work needs to be completed. If a glass splashback is being installed behind a range hood canopy, the range hood needs to have been pre-installed and the fixing points marked prior to our consultant attending to conduct the measure.

6. What surface do you need to apply the glass splashback onto?

   We require a smooth surface with no protrusions. The splashback can be applied onto plasterboard, cement sheet, MDF or concrete walls. We do not recommend applying a glass splashback onto existing tiles due to a resulting loss of bench space and a thick appearance along visible edges.

7. What colors can I select from?

   At Sydney Splash Backs, we provide a large range of solid/flat colours for your selection. These colours come from the Dulux, Taubmans, Wattyl, Bristol Paints, Resene ranges. We also carry a large range of metallic colours and toughened mirror (silver, bronze and grey tints available), as well as our digitally printed glass range. We can colour match to suit your requirements.

8. How long will it take to install the glass splashback from the time an order is placed?

   Approximately 7 days. Yes we are fast!  possibly the quickest turn aorund in Sydney!

9. How do I clean my glass splashback?

   We recommend you use a streak free glass cleaner with a good quality paper towel or lint free cloth.

10. Do you provide a warranty?

    At Sydney Splash Backs, we provide a 7 year warranty covering workmanship and colour delamination. You are not covered for breakage due to impact.

11. Is a deposit required and what payment methods do you accept?
