John's advice: choosing your custom kitchen backsplash

A custom kitchen backsplash shields your walls from splashes, steam and stains. Brushed stainless steel (1 to 1.5 mm) is the top choice for cooks: hygienic, non-combustible and ultra heat-resistant, it handles gas hob flames with ease. Anti-fingerprint brushed aluminium (1.5 mm), anodised and food-safe, delivers a designer finish with minimal upkeep — ideal for electric or induction hobs. The stainless steel cooker hood panel completes the protection from worktop to ceiling.

💡 Workshop tip: if you use a gas hob, stainless steel is mandatory behind the burners — aluminium, even anodised, cannot withstand direct flames. For a seamless look, opt for a single piece with no joins: we cut up to 3000 mm in length to your chosen height.

For installation, high-strength adhesive sealant is sufficient for a clean wall fix, even over existing tiles. Measure at three points (left, centre, right) and keep the smallest dimension: walls are never perfectly straight. Our backsplashes are delivered with protective film to France, Belgium and Switzerland.

A kitchen splashback or a cooker splashback?

Depending on the location and dimensions of your metal sheet, whether in stainless steel or aluminum, it can be transformed into an elegant wall splashback or a cooker splashback. These splashbacks, typically installed behind hobs, are a major asset for your kitchen. They offer exceptional heat resistance, whether you choose stainless steel or aluminum.

Furthermore, these metal sheets are waterproof, providing total protection against splashes. In short, stainless steel and aluminum are robust, durable materials that offer significant advantages over other materials like glass, which is more sensitive to high temperatures. A metal splashback is both a protective sheet and an ideal design element to give your kitchen a fresh new look.

Stainless steel or aluminum: which material to choose for your splashback?

When it comes to choosing a splashback for your kitchen, two popular options stand out: stainless steel and aluminum. Each has its own advantages that can influence your decision.

Brushed 304L stainless steel is often the choice for professional kitchens and hospitals due to its corrosion resistance, high temperature tolerance, and food-grade compatibility. However, stainless steel can be prone to scratches over the long term and may show fingerprints. On the other hand, anti-fingerprint aluminum is lightweight, easy to handle, and corrosion-resistant. It features a special coating that prevents fingerprints from sticking, making it an ideal choice for a spotless kitchen. Additionally, aluminum is generally more cost-effective than stainless steel.

In summary, if you are looking for a durable and heavy-duty splashback, stainless steel might be the ideal choice. If you prefer something lighter, easier to install, and more budget-friendly, aluminum could be the best option. Need more information?
