The simplest options are printed and painted glass. Photo printing is convenient, because you can choose absolutely any image that will delight your eye every time you visit the kitchen.

Now a few words about stained glass. It is not hard to guess that such a backsplash is dyed on the back, while the outer remains smooth, even and glossy.

An interesting 3D effect can be achieved by adding backlighting to the backsplash. The luminaires are installed at the ends, and as a result, there is a feeling of a deeper space.

The most durable option is triplex. These are two sheets of glass, between which a reinforcing film with an image is glued. In this case, the temperature drop does not threaten the pattern and the backsplash will retain its original appearance for a long time.

It has already been mentioned that glass backsplashs expand the space. Moreover, they add depth to the room, one might say, externally give extra square feet. Therefore, this choice is definitely suitable for small kitchens.

Let’s take a closer look at the pros you will notice if you choose glass as your backsplash material.

• There are many options for the appearance, so you can always adapt to any design solution.
• A glass kitchen backsplash will look good both in a small kitchen with a modest renovation and in a spacious one.
• This backsplash is very easy to clean. Dirt and dust accumulates only on the surface itself, does not penetrate into the structure of the material, therefore, stubborn stains are excluded.
• Installation of a glass backsplash is very simple, there are several ways to implement it: liquid nails, hinged fasteners, screws.
• Tinted glass allows you to hide part of the wall and the attachment of the backsplash itself.
• The glass backsplash is durable. The only option you may need to replace the panel is if it breaks due to a strong impact on the surface.
• The prices for glass backsplashs are quite varied. Be careful and calculate in advance the installation services, but the price also depends on the size of the future panel, design and, in fact, the processing method.

In case you somehow damage the glass, you will have to change the entire panel. For example, with a tiled backsplash in this matter, the issue is easier – just buy a couple of new cells.

If you are the owner of a very small apartment, it can be problematic to add a solid glass panel to the kitchen. Moreover, there are cases when the backsplash broke simply due to an unsuccessful turn when carrying.

It is important to remember that after the backsplash is made, it will be impossible to change its shape or make additional cutting.

In conclusion, I would like to make the main idea. A kitchen backsplash can be not only a functional way to protect the wall from dirt and temperature extremes, but also a real aesthetic element of your kitchen, so you need to approach the issue in detail, carefully look at the options. It is fortunate that nowadays manufacturers can satisfy even the most demanding customer needs.
