We have installed wallpaper behind glass splash backs on many occasions without any problems, the glass usually being attached by a thin beading of clear silicon applied around the inside perimeter of he glass, then fitted the day after the wallpaper install. MOST importantly the INSIDE of the glass be kept perfectly clean on install as even fingerprints will stand out

Hi Jacey Eve, How is your splashback coming along? We are the manufacturers of the Pressed Tin Panels product (yes we sell it too - but believe we know what we are talking about- most of us who work here have a pressed metal splashback at home too!) I believe the great responses have covered what we would recommend for the panels as a splashback and that is the powder coating. It makes them a non-porous and easy to clean surface as well as a long lasting, good looking surface. With basic care it will remain that way for many,many years to come. We believe it is very competitively priced and an easy DIY product to install. If we can provide you (or anyone else reading this) a sample, prices, details of stockists, an install guide or a quote just let me know mardi@pressedtinpanels.com Visit our website for more info and ideas: www.pressedtinpanels.com Regards Mardi

I have just chosen my kitchen and family room colours and decided to stick to white floors, cabinetry, green glass painted white splashback which gives a lovely soft green colour and shitake ceaserstone benchtops. Once this is installed I will bring in colour with vases and accessories. Main concern is any colour you bring in will date quickly and you will get tired of it. if you keep it simple you can dress it up. It is a huge decision so chose carefully, your kitchen specialist is always a good guide, listen to their suggestions. Good luck.

I hadn't thought of the building code etc . My first action is to consider what I want haha , then whether the Police will likely visit , then whether the insurance company will decline a claim . In this case I doubt it matters ( it peeks off , and would presumably melt in a serious fire -- probably the wrong to do things , but theres other items that burn at least as quickly in a house , so personally I'm not perturbed . I'd better not tell too many stories , but lets just say I have occassionally pushed the boundaries as far as Govt Depts and the like are concerned -- a recent one was to re-register my Mobile Home as a Mobile Office ( with a shower and kitchen and even beds -- offices often have them ) . A mobile office doesn't need the same level of seatbelts , it can park in towns overnight without breaching bylaws , etc .
