Glass creates an illusion of more space and allows outside features to become part of the interior design. With glass it is possible to link two different spaces together without the barrier of a wall giving you the ability to enjoy your home and garden throughout the year.
Our frameless systems create a contemporary design which safely maximises any view, allowing natural light to spread across the living space. This solution can be used for internal stairs, external balconies, or to act as windbreaks in exposed areas outdoors.
Balustrade posts provide a classic, yet still very popular, design choice. Manufactured using 2.6mm thick walled, 48mm stainless steel for superior strength. This high quality, external grade steel maximises durability and minimises maintenance.
Glass spigots create a modern, minimalist design choice which maximises your view. Glass spigots are a large glass floor clamp that secures the glass vertically. The individual 'feet' allow for natural drainage making it an ideal choice for external areas including patio, and decked gardens, as well as poolside areas.
The possibilities are almost endless. Whether you wish to modernise your home or office space, enhance it or create an eye-catching element in one of your rooms we are here to make your dream come true. Your wish is our command.
Perhaps a tropical landscape in the bathroom? How about a stylish banister or wall art? Or even a state-of-the art room divider?

At Splashbacks of Distinction we can even recreate different surface patterns too. That wood-style surface you always wanted is now possible and it comes with all the advantages of glass. Our customers also love our granite and marble styles which are perfectly stunning.

It is often very difficult to see what a particular colour or finish will look like from a picture. We understand that and can supply samples of your chosen splash back to enable you to get the best possible idea of what your dream kitchen or bathroom will look like before it is fitted.
We already have hundreds of samples available to look at in our showroom including different types of finishes such as glitter or sparkle. We can supply a sample in any colour or finish you would like from our extensive range.
Our splash backs are often so vibrant that it is very difficult to really appreciate them from a simple image and with some finishes, such as the mirrored finishes, it is virtually impossible. With a sample you can get a much clearer idea of how your splash back will look in your kitchen and how it will compliment the other colours and textures around it.

At Splashbacks of Distinction, we don't just manufacture, supply and fit the highest quality toughened glass kitchen splashbacks. Our range of beautiful glass products is diverse and can literally transform your Royston property beyond recognition.
Many people who live in older properties think that a modern touch will look out of place owing to the age of their property, but this is not the case. Splashbacks of Distinction have transformed many properties over the years with our wide range of quality glass products. Glass balusters, bespoke shower enclosures and screens, shelves and mirrors are just a few things that we manufacture, supply and fit for our customers. We have visited many properties in the Royston area and turned a drab, old fashioned space into a modern and functional show piece. Quite a few of our customers in Royston have gone as far as to say that our printed splashbacks are nothing short of a work of art. These printed splashbacks are usually fitted in the kitchen, but are equally at home in bathrooms and living rooms too.
When faced with the prospect of having a new fitted kitchen or bathroom installed in your Royston property, it is a worry as to what finishing touches will look the best. The cupboards are sorted, the sinks or basins have been decided on and even the taps and flooring have been taken care of, but what about the splashbacks? If this all sounds pretty daunting, help is at hand from Splashbacks of Distinction.
We will visit your Royston property to help you plan the best layout and where your new splashback will make the most visual impact and serve as a functional piece of kitchen decor too. Sometimes, all it takes is a new pair of eyes to recognise the potential your Royston property has. Often, people miss what is right under their nose and plough ahead with a similar layout to what they have become used to when a new kitchen is on the cards. Splashbacks of Distinction like to think outside of the box and have transformed many homes where the owner would never have believed it could be done.
We help you with planning the best way to enjoy and get the best from your new kitchen splashback. Simple things like where the electrical socket cut outs should be located to maximise the efficiency of your kitchen are key steps in the planning process.
We will visit your Royston property to cut and fit your new quality glass splashback, and this will really put the finishing touch to your kitchen decor.
Although Royston may have the appearance of a modern place to live, the town is actually steeped in a rich history. This is not immediately apparent as one approaches and spots the brand new properties that are springing up around the Royston area, with their solar panelled roofs and clean, modern lines, but rest assured, the Royston area has a very long history behind it.
Royston grew at the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Ermine Street and the Icknield Way; the former was created after the Roman conquest, while the Icknield Way has long been accepted as a prehistoric route way. The roads are sometimes called military roads as they were prepared or improved by Roman soldiers to facilitate access to the hinterland of Roman Britain. The path of Icknield Way is occupied by the present day A505, which bypasses Royston to the north. The A10 follows the alignment of Ermine Street south of Royston but diverts before it reaches the crossroads. The A1198, known as the Old North Road follows the alignment of Ermine Street northwards. Barrows on Goffers Knoll and Therfield Heath are evidence of prehistoric settlement.
A cross, variously known as Royse's, Rohesia's, or Roisia's Cross, was erected by the Royston crossroads at an unknown date. It gave Royston its earliest name of Crux Roesia or Roisia's Cross. By the 14th century this had become Roisia's Town, Roiston or Royston. A large boulder of red millstone grit, bearing a square socket, supposed to be the base of the cross, has been placed by the cross roads at the northern end of High Street.
Until 1540 Royston was divided between five parishes: Barkway, Reed and Therfield in Hertfordshire and Melbourn and Kneesworth in Cambridgeshire. In that year it became a separate ecclesiastical parish, partly in each county.
Ralph de Rochester founded the Augustinian priory which originated as a chapel for three canons and was later expanded to seven or more regular canons. Royston had two hospitals or free chapels, as well as the monastery.
The hospital of St John and St Thomas was founded for lepers in 1224 by Richard Argentine, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire on the south side of Baldock Street in Royston.
The hospital of St Nicholas was situated in the Cambridgeshire side of Royston. It was founded in about 1200 probably by Amphelise, a daughter of Richard the Chamberlain. In 1213 King John granted a fair to celebrate the feast of St Nicholas in early May. The patronage of the hospital descended to Sir Giles Argentine, lord of the manor of Melbourn, who also held the patronage of the other hospital. In the 14th century, St Nicholas' Hospital was put under the same jurisdiction as that of St John and St Thomas, which were subsequently suppressed in 1547.
Royston, having lost its monastic charter, the priory site was obtained by Robert Chester, a gentleman of the bedchamber to Henry VIII, who set up a market. Much of Royston was given over to inns catering for travellers mainly travelling between London and York. After a visit in 1603, James VI and I decided to build a palace or hunting lodge in Royston.
