Coloured Splashbacks

Coloured splashbacks are a fabulous way to affordably update your kitchen and create an eye catching focal area. Colour not only brightens a room up but can also shape the atmosphere and so is a great tool for creating just the right mood.

Why use coloured splashbacks?

• Coloured splashbacks offer striking solid and unbroken areas of colour
• The shiny and reflective surface brings the colour to life, making it even more dramatic
• They provide contemporary style that is also functional and easy to maintain

In the past colour in the kitchen was usually introduced via accessories or with tiles or cupboards. Using a coloured splashback, however, offers a completely different look as it provides an unbroken area of colour which is far more striking.

Adding a large block of bright or dark colour can sometimes darken a room and make it feel heavy or oppressive. However this isn’t the case with coloured splashbacks. Even dark colours bounce light around the room because of the reflective nature of the splashback surface, so the effect is bright, airy and contemporary.

While aesthetics are important, with coloured splashbacks you’re not only injecting designer style into your kitchen but also adding practical functionality. The smooth surface is easy to clean and doesn’t stain or trap dirt and grime like tile grout does.

Choosing your splashbacks

If you’ve decided that coloured splashbacks are the best way to brighten and update your kitchen, what is the best material to choose? Backpainted glass splashbacks will do the job, but are heavy, expensive and difficult to install. Recent technological advances have led to the development of Zenolite, a fantastic alternative which is also far more affordable. Some of the advantages of Zenolite splashbacks are:

• Range of colours to choose from
• High gloss modern surface
• 25 times tougher than glass
• Half the weight of glass
• Can be installed over existing wall surfaces
• Installation is quick and easy and Zenolite can be cut and drilled using standard woodworking tools

Whether you are installing a new kitchen or just giving your existing one a bit of a revamp, coloured splashbacks will instantly update it. If you’d like to find out more about installing our Zenolite coloured splashbacks please take a look on our website or give us a call.
