Mirror Glass Splashbacks: A Unique Design

CreoGlass is one of very few companies who are able to offer durable, high quality mirror glass splashbacks. Mirrors are perfect for allowing daylight to reflect across the room, creating a bright atmosphere and giving the illusion of more space.


A stunning example of our ability to combine chromium mirror and paint is presented in our December 2012 Splashback of the Month. This is an exclusive art style due to the fact that each wave is hand sprayed using stencils, instead of backing the glass with prints or stickers. Because of this, it's a versatile design available in almost any colour scheme, from cherry red to calm sky blue. Not only that, but the hand crafted nature of the product allows each glass splashback to have that individual flair that makes no two the same.

However examples can be seen of the consequences of using the incorrect glass. In a recent installation, we replaced a cracked standard glass mirror that had not been properly treated, with one of our toughened chromium mirrors. Our unique coating process allows us to guarantee high quality splashbacks- ensuring durability, practicality, and elegant design.

The Process of Printed Glass Splashbacks: Available in Standard Sizes

Not only do CreoGlass provide full service bespoke designs, but we also supply a wide range of standard sized printed and painted glass splashbacks. These are much more accessible if you are further away from us, as we can ship your splashback out without requiring measurements to be drawn up first. We offer eight different sizes ranging from 60 cm x 60 cm, to 70 cm x 100 cm.

Buying standard patterned splashbacks vary from place to place. There are several different methods available for creating the images on the glass. One way is to colour the glass and bake it, however this is only good for extremely simple designs. Another way is to print the image on a sheet and stick it as a backing to the glass, but this is problematic for most splashbacks as they will not be treated to withstand the high temperatures of your cooker. At CreoGlass, our method is that we print directly on to the glass which allows it to then be cured, ensuring all the practicality and durability you'd expect with such a high quality looking piece.

We have 28 designs viewable now on our website; these strikingly eye catching and functional products can withhold temperatures of more than 200 degrees Celsius, are easy to clean and much easier to apply in  comparison to conventional tiles. We will also soon be releasing them on our online store for you to order at any time and have them delivered straight to you. Currently available on our Amazon store are a selection of samples and several Luxury and Standard Colour Collection splashbacks.

To measure for your standard fit splashback, all you have to do is take the measurements (in cm or mm) of the distance between: your kitchen worktop and the lowest point of the extractor fan (the height) and a dimension between the cupboards (this will be the width of the splashback). Then just match that to one of the available options, or you could e-mail us for a quotation about a specially fitted size.

Remodelling your kitchen or bathroom PART ONE

Improving your home is not an easy task due to the extensive work it requires in terms of planning. No matter how you want your home to look, you can always make it a comfortable place to live in. When thinking about improving your home, there are some important things you should think about in order to reach your goals.

First thing's first: make sure you have repaired the existing structures. The best way to begin is always to make the necessary repairs around your home before beginning other remodeling projects. Start with the roof repairs, plumbing work, all of the tasks you've always put on the to do list in the back of your mind, but kept putting off until now.

Think about making your main priority the kitchen and bathroom, as these projects will increase the value of your home more than any other room. You must be careful when choosing paint colors to use in your bathroom and kitchen. Most of the time they are smaller rooms and a choice of dark paint will make a room feel even smaller.


There are plenty of things that can be purchased to quickly freshen up your kitchen or bathroom:  faucets, counter tops, ventilation, fixtures, and lighting. The planning of these facilities will give you a good starting point; detailed plans are the key to a great renovation.

Printed Single Panel Toughened Glass Splashbacks


Transforming your kitchen with exciting designer features has never been more accessible, and CreoGlass coloured splashbacks enable you to create striking highlights that can open up your kitchen, adding bold colours and concepts. All our kitchen glass splashbacks are handmade in the UK by Stay Beyond Designer Studio, and our reputation for innovative coloured and patterned splashbacks is seeing CreoGlass being adopted by many of the UK’s leading interior designers.


CreoGlass coloured splashbacks are available in a wide range of shades – from bright and bold to subtle and soft – plus we can match our kitchen glass splashbacks to any colour you have in mind, just send us a paint or wallpaper sample and we’ll do the rest. As well as colours we offer an exciting selection of patterned splashbacks, including stunning granite effects in your choice of hue or vibrant and unique patterns that range from high-tech and geometrical to organic and free-flowing designs of light and colour – each one created to your individual specifications.


All CreoGlass kitchen glass splashbacks are constructed using low iron glass that provides exceptional resistance to heat, water and stains, and they’re very easy to clean and maintain. Your coloured splashbacks will remain bold and beautiful for many years due to the multi-layer construction that goes into all our kitchen glass splashbacks. Each layer of structure is cured for 24 hours before the next one is applied, and this results in splashbacks that are as stunning as they are durable. Strong, stylish and very versatile, our patterned splashbacks can be created to fit any wall, accommodating built-in features, electrical outlets and plumbing features with ease.

New & Exclusive Products to CreoGlass: Toughened Mirrors

CreoGlass is introducing a new collection of stunning bespoke silver and chromium toughened glass mirrors.  The use of mirrors as kitchen glass splashbacks are becoming increasingly popular, however most companies do not offer the appropriate glass for what it is being used for. A standard silver mirror, or ordinary glass, should not be used as they will not withstand the high temperatures and thermal stresses which come from your cooker, and therefore it is highly likely to crack.


CreoGlass is therefore exclusive in that we can offer toughened mirrors which are highly safe and durable for use as a kitchen glass splashback. Whereas other companies cannot toughen mirrors which have been cut to size, we have developed our very own process of applying a sleek chromium backing to the glass, enabling it to be reflective as well as suited for the heat it needs to endure, and also giving it a unique look that cannot be obtained by standard mirror glass.


With this we are also able to decorate the glass with remarkable patterns and designs. Black or white on chrome makes for some very modern and stylish looks, which would look striking in any kitchen and can match a range of different colour schemes.
