Bespoke Glass Splashbacks For Kitchens

Glass Logic have been at the forefront of the glass splashback and the glass panel industry for many years now, innovating with new ideas and setting industry standards Nationwide with both their standard and extra services alike.

Bespoke glass splashbacks for kitchens have been increasing in popularity for quite some time now and with the advancements being made in CNC technology bespoke glass splashbacks for kitchens are evolving at a rapid rate. With this in mind Glass Logic have implemented a series of services that they offer as a standard. What this basically means to the end consumer is that you get a lot more for your money than just a standard glass splashbacks for kitchens.

First off as a standard Glass Logic mix a cross linking solution in with all of their paints. What a cross linking solution effectively does is chemically bond the paint to the glass on a small, microscopic scale. This is believed by Glass Logic to be a necessity when painting your glass splashbacks as it adds both extra protection and extra life to your paint ensuring that you will get no cracks, fading, or any other deformity in your paint. In fact Glass Logic are so confident with the cross linking solution being a necessity and are that confident that the quality of the cross linking solution and the quality of the paint respectively warrants a ten year guarantee on your paint.

Next up, another service that Glass Logic offers as a standard is a service known as a grey backing service. Glass Logic believe that this service is a vital part of the glass splashback process. The grey backing service basically entails an extra coat of grey paint being applied to the back of your chosen colour choice once it has adequately cured to the glass. There are two reasons why this grey backing is added to the glass splashback. Firstly it adds axtra protection to your paint, and secondly when the glass splashback is fitted, Glass Logic use a grey coloured non solvent adhesive and the grey backing stops any shadowing showing through the glass splashback where the adhesive has been applied. What this means is that the colour you have chosen for your glass splashback will be a pure, uninterupted colour.

Glass Logic’s bespoke glass splashbacks for kitchens come with an unlimited choice of colour so it stands to reason that when you choose your colour then you expect the colour to be a pure, vibrant, true colour. That is why Glass Logic use only low iron glass as it is clearer than regular float glass which can distort the colour of your paint due to the natural green tinge that float glass has. Not only is the glass that Glass Logic use low iron as standard, but it is also toughened as standard making the glass up to five times stronger than regular glass. What that means at the end of the day is that as a standard Glass Logic provide you with glass that is both extremely durable and extremely heat resistant at the same time.

With all of these services offered as standard it is not difficult to see why the quality of the glass splashbacks for kitchens that Glass Logic provide you with has put them at the very height of the industry and as one of the industry leaders in the field Glass Logic only look to go from strength to strength in the future.

Glass Worktops Are Perfect For Kitchens

Worktops are the the workhorse of any kitchen and as such there are many different styles of worktop available on the market ranging from marble and granite right the way through to quartz. There is a new kid on the block though which is making waves on the market with consumers due to it’s beautiful looks and it’s myriad of design applications and that is glass.

Glass is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes as there is so much more that you can do with it when you compare it to the current industry leaders quartz and granite. For a start natural stone only comes in 20mm or 30mm thickness’ whereas glass can come in a more varied thickness range. The thickness’ on offer with glass are 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm, and if you need it slightly thicker you can always go for the 10+10mm option which is actually two pieces of 10mm glass laminated together.

A common misconception which could probably be the reason that glass in not the number one product sold on the market today is that people think glass is a weak material. This could not be further from the truth. Glass worktops come toughened as standard. Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than regular glass which makes it extremely durable and is actually designed to absorb the impact of items like tins of beans falling from your wall units onto the worktop without damaging the glass itself. In fact a little known fact about toughened glass is that it is actually a rough template for bulletproof glass which goes to show just how strong glass worktops actually are.

You can have your glass painted absolutely any colour you like as you can choose your colour from ranges like Dulux, RAL, WCP, Pantone, and Farrow and Ball and with the advancements in CNC technology it is possible to have your worktops cut to fit in any shape or size with the inclusion of other cuts such as hob and sink cut outs. The design applications that come with glass worktops really are immense. If you cannot decide on a colour and want to go for something a bit more custom then have you thought about the idea of having vinyl images applied to the glass so that you will have a truly unique work surface that absolutely nobody else will have.

You also have the option of opting to go for the ultra slick and ultra modern cracked glass worktop. Originally created by Glass Logic (check http://www.glasslogic.co.uk for more details) the cracked glass worktop is a prime example of just how versatile glass is. With 3 pieces of 6mm glass sandwiched together and a mirror paint sprayed on to the underside of the worktop, the middle piece of glass is subsequently punctured and sealed in between the other two sheets the result of which is the most amazing effect.

Lastly glass is also the most hygienic material available on today’s modern market. As glass has no visible cracks or fissures it cannot hide any germs or bacteria within itself which could build up and subsequently become quite harmful in areas of food preparation. This also makes them the easiest material on the market to clean, requiring just a clean cloth and some anti bacterial spray. There is no doubt that glass is going to continue growing as a choice with consumers and I suspect that it will not be long before glass is the number one worktop material on the market today.

Fitted Glass Splashbacks For Kitchens

Not all kitchens look the same but it is an outright fact that they all do require some form of splash protection. Whether you like tiles or stainless steel or any other form of splash protection there is one material that you should use as it is literally head and shoulders above anything else that you can currently buy on the market today and that is glass.

Glass splashbacks have been making waves I the industry for s few years now which is funny because I can guarantee you that if you asked ten people if they knew what glass splashbacks are then probably only three or four will know what you are talking about.

The reason for this is that glass splashbacks for kitchens, although they have been around for a few years now, are still relatively new. Most people will tend to opt for the more traditional tile due to the fact that tiles are really cheap without actually giving glass a second thought. Bad move people! Glass is easily the best option available to you and let me elaborate as to why glass is so good.

For a start all glass splashbacks for kitchens come toughened as standard and the glass is low iron. This makes them extremely durable and also incredibly heat resistant and due to the glass being low iron you are guaranteed to get nothing less than a clear and vibrant colour once the painting process has been completed.

Secondly there is a near infinite choice of colour available to you and if you cannot find the colour that you want then that colour can most likely be made. You can even have a vinyl image applied to your glass if a traditional painted glass splash back is just too plain for you.

Thirdly glass is extremely versatile and can be cut to nearly any shape or size making it totally bespoke and custom designed to fit your wall specifically. This is especially true of certain cuts that are needed like socket cutouts.

Lastly glass is 100% non porous which makes it extremely easy to clean which in turn makes glass the most hygienic material on the market today. Not only does glass offer all these positives, offering up not one negative that I can think of, glass is also the most cost effective material that is on the market today.

In summary no kitchen will be complete unless it is updated with the latest trend, and the latest trend without a shadow of a doubt is glass splashbacks.

Fitted Glass Splashbacks For Fitted Kitchens

Kitchens have always been a hub of activity inside any modern home and as such you will want to keep them as hygienic as possible. A great way to keep your kitchen hygienic is to cover your walls with some form of splash protection. There are many forms of splash protection on today’s market ranging from tiles and stainless steel, to perspex. There is however one material on today’s splash protection market that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to keeping your kitchen hygienic and that material is glass.

Glass is quickly rising up the ranks in the splash protection market and is well on it’s way to being the number one choice for consumers Nationwide. Glass is an extremely hygienic material that naturally has no visible cracks or veins that other materials have such as tiles or quartz. What this means is that there is absolutely no part of the glass that can harbour bacteria and germs from certain elements such as splashing from dirty sink water and food sauces that spit when they are cooking away on your stove.

Glass itself is naturally non-porous and in actual fact is the only material on the splash protection market today that can claim that this is so. And due to these hygienic properties fitted glass splashbacks are extremely easy to clean, needing only a cloth and some anti bacterial spray your splashbacks will be clean in only moments.

Moving away from the hygienic properties that come with fitted glass splashbacks it is time to look at some other examples of why fitted glass splashbacks are becoming the nations number one choice for their splash protection needs.

First off the design applications available to you are absolutely immense. You can have your glass splashbacks made to any size or shape with the aid of CNC machines to cater for people who would like one seamless piece covering their walls as opposed to the often used ‘pieces’ option. Also with the aid of CNC technology you can have all manner of extra effects added to your glass. For a start you can have holes cut for your plug sockets, or have the glass cut to fit around your extractor hood.

Then you have the choices of colour that you can have your fitted glass splashbacks painted. Using an extensive set of colour ranges from companies such as Dulux and RAL there really is no colour that you cannot have making the colours available to you almost infinite. If colour does not suit you then maybe you would like to opt for something a little more customised such as a vinyl image that could perhaps be of a family portrait, an urban skyline, or even the planets in the solar system. The design applications that are available to you are absolutely immense.

Lastly let us take a look at a natural property that glass offers you as a consumer. Glass has the natural ability to be able to absorb all of the light in any room and reflect it back in such a way that it creates the illusion that your kitchen is actually bigger than it is. And who doesn’t want a bigger kitchen? This is an especially useful property to have if your kitchen lacks an ample natural light source and you are looking to brighten up your kitchen without the need to install extra light bulbs or spotlights to brighten the room up.
