Toughened glass will transform your home or office

Bacteria can be found in kitchens and bathrooms

What is this surge in interest in toughened glass in the home?

People have always had an intense interest in glass. Glass for the table, glass for the windows and even glass for some ornaments, but glass for a wider range of uses around the home or office, surely not!

The marked increase in interest of glass around the home seems to have started back in 1949, when the 'The Glass House' or 'Johnson house' was built in Connecticut, USA. It was designed by Philip Johnson as his own weekend residence and was made predominantly of toughened glass. It has been said that in a house of glass, the views of the landscape are its wallpaper.

So popular have homes made from large amounts of glass become, many films have them as the residence of the main characters. The Twilight Saga has the Cullens hillside house with huge windows set in the cladded fascia and in The Returned, the main characters family live in a similarly glass fronted property.

What we are seeing here is much less use of bricks, blocks or timber and far more use of steel and toughened glass. However, it's not just the exterior walls of some properties that are being replaced with toughened glass, the interior of many properties are discovering just how attractive and versatile glass really is.

Where can our toughened glass products be used around the home or office?

In a word, anywhere! We are quite used to seeing glass windows and the occasional glass coffee or dining table, but toughened glass is being made good use of in quite a few other parts of the home.

Toughened glass kitchen splashbacks

Probably the most common use of toughened glass in the home is for a glass kitchen splashback instead of traditional tiles and grout. At Splashbacks of Distinction we offer a seemingly endless array of clear and coloured glass splashbacks for your kitchen. You can order them from our 'Buy Online' page or we can even make a glass splashback to your size specifications with cut outs for electrical sockets.

Our toughened glass kitchen splashbacks give your kitchen a clean, unfussy and elegant finish with a luscious modern and easy to clean surface.

Just some of the reasons to have a stylish glass kitchen splashback.

  • Glass splashbacks are far easier to clean and a more hygienic than grouted tiles or other surfaces.
  • You can have your own high resolution image incorporated into your glass splashback, making it truly unique.
  • Our glass splashbacks have a seamless finish, leaving nowhere for bacteria to get a foothold.
  • Glass splashbacks are stylish and contemporary.
  • Glass splashbacks come in a wide range of colours to compliment your decor.
  • Our glass splashbacks can be for entire wall runs or just behind cookers, the choice is yours.

A glass kitchen splashback from us is the perfect way to transform your kitchen with a beautifully hygienic and strong practical surface.

Toughened glass bathroom splashbacks

Glass in the bathroom or even a small washroom make the whole area light up. These are often the smallest rooms in the house and will always benefit from glass to maximise the passage of light.

The glass can be coloured, textured, frosted or even have high resolution images incorporated into the panels. What's not to like about them?

Another fantastic feature of glass in the bathroom setting is the fact that it is so easy to keep hygienically clean. Hard water marks often build up on tiled surfaces without us even noticing until it's caked on so hard that it almost takes an angle grinder to remove it. Glass is supremely smooth so it makes cleaning limescale an absolute breeze.

Glass splashbacks with high resolution pictures

So this is where it's really at these days! No more are many trotting off to their local DIY store and settling for the same tiles or shower screen as the Jones family down the road. Now you can have the most amazing images incorporated into your glass splashback, the sky really is the limit!

Essentially you will have a glass splashback or shower screen that is quite simply a unique and personal work of art that will be a genuine focal point to any room. You can let your imagination run riot with whatever design you want. Any image with sufficient resolution can be made into a glass printed splashback and you don't need to be a professional photographer either. The file sizes produced by even a mid range mobile phone can produce an image that is sufficient to be incorporated into your new glass splashback.

You can have huge designs that spread the length of the kitchen, or just a square splashback that goes behind the cooker itself.

Another type of digitally printed glass that is taking the interior decorating world by storm at present is the glass wall mounted printed panels. These allow you to have that wedding day or baby picture immortalised in glass forever. So easy to dust or polish and the picture will never fade either, unlike an unprotected picture can in sunlight. This is because the UVB rays of the sun are effectively blocked by glass.

Toughened glass kitchen worktops

Now this is a part of the kitchen that really does benefit from the hygienic properties of toughened glass. Worktops are where we prepare our food, so they need to be spotlessly clean. Splashbacks of Distinction can produce a toughened glass worktop in any colour. Your new toughened glass worktop is suitable for kitchens or bathrooms and will have a minimal amount of joins and cuts. In a nutshell, we supply you with the most beautiful glass kitchen and bathroom worktops and surfaces on the market.

Our premium toughened glass worktops are incredibly strong and can withstand temperatures of up to 400°, so when you're cooking up that gourmet meal you can rest assured that your glass worktop is not going to shatter into thousands of little pieces.

We have heard of a few other companies who try to toughen their glass sheet products by adding a foam backing, but this doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to intense direct heat contact. All the foam backing will achieve is a reduction in the risk of injury should the glass break, but with our toughened glass worktops, the glass simply isn't going to break, now that's got to be good news for everyone.

Toughened glass balustrades

We are all used to seeing wooden spindles or balusters on staircases, maybe even wooden panels that form the balustrade, but toughened glass balustrades are really taking off these days.

The glass balusters may be more like panels or they could be made up of smaller sheets of toughened glass, but whatever style you choose, you can be assured that the finish will be superb and the maintenance and cleaning will be a piece of cake.

Another great thing about glass balustrades is the fact that you will never need to paint, stain or varnish them ever again. Anyone who has ever painted a stair spindle will know how fiddly this job can be and how many hours can be soaked up completing the entire run. With our toughened glass balustrades, all that's required is a quick wipe, dust or polish and you're good to go.

So if your looking for a new staircase with glass balustrades or just the glass balustrade panels to transform your existing staircase then we can help you to achieve the look you've always dreamed of.

Toughened glass shelves

Toughened glass shelves are a fantastic way of displaying your favourite ornaments. Because the shelves are manufactured from toughened glass, they are tough and will allow light to pass through, showing off your decor in a whole new way.

We can design and manufacture everything from an individual shelf to a bespoke shelving system. Although most of our toughened glass shelves will have a standard polished edge, we can also offer a nibbled edge detail for that really distinctive finish.

Splashbacks of Distinction use only the highest quality toughened glass to produce our shelves giving it a very clean look, which requires hardly any effort to clean. Our toughened glass shelves provide very little obscurity and full transparency allowing light to pass through from all angles.

All our toughened glass shelves are toughened to British Standards BS EN 121500:2000 for safety as well as making the glass considerably stronger. All our toughened glass products are put through a thorough quality control process in order to guarantee complete customer satisfaction.

Bespoke toughened glass mirrors

A lot of us seem to spend a fair amount of our time in front of the mirror. Whether it's for preening purposes or just to gauge how we look generally, we are lost without them. Seriously, just try going a day or a week without looking in the mirror. Will you look like you've been dragged through a bush backwards, or will you be able to preen successfully without one?

There is no doubt that mirrors form a very important part of our lives, so why not have a bespoke one made especially for you by Splashbacks of Distinction? We are able to manufacture and supply all manner of mirrors from a simple bevelled edge oval mirror to an entire wall sized mirrored panel for gymnasium or dance practice.

Splashbacks of Distinction manufacture and supply the following types of mirror:

  • Bespoke made to measure mirrors
  • Arch top or bevelled mirrors
  • Gymnaium or dance studio mirrors
  • Oval bevelled mirrors
  • Speciality tinted mirrors
  • Frameless mirrors

  • Mirrors cut to a specific size

Bespoke toughened glass shower screens and enclosures

Splashbacks of Distinction manufacture and supply the very finest bespoke toughened glass shower screens and enclosures. Our shower enclosures can be made to fit any part of your home, at any size. A dazzling array of colours and textures are available too should you want something a little bit special and we can even incorporate a high definition digital image into the glass.

Bespoke shower enclosures that will be unique to you

If you are designing your own bathroom from the beginning, you will probably want something very specific that is unique to you and your surroundings, so why not ask us to make a bespoke shower enclosure just for you.

Toughened glass shower screens

If you don't need a full shower enclosure, we manufacture and supply a range of shower screens in convenient sizes.

Should you have specific design or size requirements for your bathroom, we can make a completely bespoke shower screen to your exact specifications.

Toughened glass: Essential for safety

Why do we look in a mirror? Body image, or is it more?

It could be argued that we are all more obsessed with our appearance than we would like to admit. But is this really an indication of vanity? A vain person is meant to be conceited and have excessive pride in their appearance. There is nothing wrong with being concerned about ones appearance, as this is quite normal and understandable. In fact, studies have shown that attractive people have distinct advantages over less attractive people in our society.

From glass kitchen splashbacks to bespoke mirrors

We all want our homes to have a unique appearance, because nobody wants their living space to be exactly the same as their friends and neighbours. Sadly this is easier said than done!

This is not to say they will choose exactly the same decor as you, but the chances of it happening are pretty good. So if you want something really different, think glass!

How toughened glass is made for our kitchen and bathroom splashbacks

Toughened glass, as its name would suggest, is glass material that has been made much tougher than ordinary glass. Toughened glass are much stronger varieties and are used in various constructions, these can be residential or commercial constructions. The actual strength of toughened glass is up to five times more than that of annealed glass, (see below for an explanation of the annealing process). Toughened glass is not only used for kitchen and bathroom splashbacks, it is also used to manufacture lots of glassware and these products are comparatively safer and offer far more durability.

Some people mistakenly believe that toughened glass is unbreakable, it may be very tough, but it can still be broken. Remember though, if products made of toughened glass are handled in the correct way, there is no reason why they shouldn't last for a lifetime.

Style

Why is glass so popular today more than ever?

Even shelves and furniture was either veneered or printed to make it look like wood.
