3. What types of glass do you use? 

At Ultimate Glass Splashbacks, we use the following two types of glass:
  • Standard clear glass; and
  • Starphire glass.
All glass contains a certain amount of iron which appears green in colour. Starphire glass contains less iron than standard clear glass and is therefore less green in colour. Starphire glass provides a truer representation of your selected colour. Our team can advise you regarding the suitability of either glass type based on your selected colour choice.
 

4. Is the glass made to Australian Standards? 

Definitely. At Ultimate Glass Splashbacks, we use 6mm toughened safety glass for all our splashback panels.
 

5. At what stage should I schedule a measure and quote? 

All cabinetry and bench tops need to be installed prior to a measure being conducted. Additionally, all electrical work needs to be completed. If a glass splashback is being installed behind a range hood canopy, the range hood needs to have been pre-installed and the fixing points marked prior to our glazier attending to conduct the measure.
 

6. What surface do you need to apply the glass splashback onto? 

We require a smooth surface with no protrusions. Glass splashback can be applied onto plasterboard or cement sheet. Glass splashbacks can also be applied on top of existing tiles. However, it will result in a very small loss of bench space and the edges of the tiles may be visible in some situations.
 

7. What colours can I select from? 

At Ultimate Glass Splashbacks, we offer a large range of solid and metallic colours for your selection, as well as various toughened mirror tints, tilefx options and our digitally printed glass range.
