Based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Splashbacks of Distinction have a real passion for toughened glass in and around the home. We have transformed many properties, both commercial and domestic with our glass splashbacks, for kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms. Our toughened glass balustrades, glass shelving and splashbacks with high resolution images have really caught the imagination of people who demand beauty and functionality in their homes and offices.
More and more hotels are turning to glass work surfaces, splashbacks and worktops as they look so modern and are very easy to clean. Likewise, many homeowners in and around the Barnet area are also thinking seriously about switching to glass for their kitchen, bathroom and living areas for exactly the same reasons. Splashbacks of Distinction have many satisfied customers in the commercial and domestic market who have discovered the wonder of toughened glass over the alternatives. We offer a no obligation quote to anyone who wants something that little bit different in their home or hotel. Glass splashbacks and worktops cut down on the need for harsh chemicals as they are so easy to clean and glass that has been cleaned with an anti static cleaner will attract far less dust. So if you would like to discuss the possibilities of glass, call Splashbacks of Distinction today.
The borough of Barnet was formed under the London Government Act 1963 in 1965 from the Municipal Borough of Finchley, Municipal Borough of Hendon and the Friern Barnet Urban District of Middlesex and the East Barnet Urban District and Barnet Urban District of Hertfordshire. The Act did not include a name for the new borough. A joint committee of the councils due to be amalgamated suggested "Northgate" or "Northern Heights". Keith Joseph, the Minister of Housing and Local Government, eventually chose the name of Barnet. The place name Barnet is derived from the Old English barnet meaning "Land cleared by burning", which is why the town name of Barnet was considered to be born from fire.
The area of Barnet that is covered by the modern borough has a long and rich history. There has been clear evidence of first-century Roman pottery manufacturing found at Brockley Hill and Roman coins from the third and fourth centuries were found at Burnt Oak. Both these sites are on the Roman road Watling Street from London and St Albans which now forms the western border of Barnet.
Although Hendon is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, the districts of Barnet, Edgware and Finchley were not referred to. The reason for this is believed to be that these areas had already been included in other manors.
In 1471 the Battle of Barnet was fought in Monken Hadley, just within the present borough's boundary. It was here that Yorkist troops led by King Edward IV killed the "Kingmaker" Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick and his brother, John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu.
When the present Barnet borough was created, it included part of Elstree. On 1 April 1993 Barnet's northern boundary was altered and some of its more rural northern parts, including Elstree, were transferred to Hertfordshire along with its district of Hertsmere.
