How to choose the right kitchen backsplash?

The splashback protects against splashes, dirt, spitting fat and steam. Installed in front of the sink and behind the hob, it must be easy to maintain, as well as heat resistant.

The splashback covers the entire wall of the kitchen, between the worktop and the wall units. If you choose a more discreet splashback, we advise you to combine it with a cooker hood back.

The height of your splashback may vary depending on the aesthetic you want. You can have it all the way up to the wall units or raise it 20cm, the choice is yours.

A laminate splashback will enable you to personalise your kitchen for a reasonable price. This material is available in a very wide range of colours and finishes. It goes well with all kitchen styles, from the most understated to the most extravagant. Laminate is also available in imitation wood, stone, marble or metal.
