Your kitchen backsplash serves a very practical purpose: it protects against splashes from the stove and sink. However, with just a little effort, you can transform it into a design object. Discover ideas for materials such as glass, stone, wood, and extravagant surfaces here!
An element made of glass puts no limits on your creativity. However, we do advise choosing high-quality, toughened safety glass (TSG). It should have a thickness of at least 6 mm. Heat treatment increases the impact and shock resistance of this type of glass. In the event of an accident, this glass breaks into small cubes without sharp edges. ESG is resistant to heat and even acid.
In addition to its transparency, the durable, trendy material of glass offers the advantage of creating a continuous, easy-to-care-for surface. It looks both lavish and unobtrusive, and visually softens the fronts.
You can design this material according to your wishes. Manufacturers offer a variety of designs with a ‘floating’ feel thanks to their transparent, glossy or satin surface. Glass backed with metals in copper or gold will enhance and refine any ambiance.
It's easier to emboss glass with your individual design than any other material, meaning you can print the glass with an image of your choice. The digital print is light-fast and sealed with a protective lacquer. For a motif, you can choose your own work or images from online databases.
Options for personalized decor:
Whether natural material, metal, or Dekton: You are spoiled for choice when it comes to your backsplash. Natural materials automatically create a connection with nature. If you have a soft spot for organic design, a model made of natural stone, quartz, or wood is a good choice.

This produces an extremely hard material with a flawless surface. The slightly roughened surface is also slip-resistant. Dekton is available with patterns that perfectly mimic natural stone or wood grain.
