Whilst the presence of splashbacks used to be purely functional, splashbacks can now make a statement and influence the whole design scheme of the kitchen. Depending on the desired finished look and individual preferences, splashbacks are available in a wide range of materials and styles. The most popular splashbacks are tiled, made of glass, quartz, granite, marble or Corian. They can also be made of mirrored glass, stainless steel or laminate.
