or consider a single tile in the same colour as the dark cabinets

If I am reading your post correctly? You require a solid surface to accommodate power points?
I have a wonderful highlight window in my kitchen. I installed bench power points, then I was able to leave the window the length that I wanted.

Further my above comment, I would tile the area, not glass splash back. Install bench GPO's, and keep the tiles clear of power points.

Can I also ask, why is the door and window frame, not on the concrete slab? Has it not been installed yet? Why is it sitting on sand bags?

I have already committed to powerpoints on the wall. The tiles are included in the build the glass splash back I would have to pay $600 in total for both areas.

I have been told glass splash back would be easier to clean it’s only a small area the window is the main feature really.

That was when the glass door had not been install fully it has since been concreted in.

Thanks for all the advise :)

I would definitely stick with the tiles. For the area they will cover, cleaning will not be an issue. Or as oklouise has said. You could install one 600x 600 tile.

Since you can use a single large tile to avoid the issues grout lines create, I would definitely opt for tiles. I have a glass splashback and, honestly, it's a cleaner's nightmare. Maybe it's the colour, but it's really hard to get rid of the smears that appear when it's cleaned. I would never use glass again.

Why has the plasterer not pulled all the wires through ? I assume wiring was roughed in. Glass or tile your choice.

The wires have been roughed in and are behind ready to go :) okay now my dilemma with choosing the right tile would you say white subway tiles or one large 600 by 600 tile would work best? What colour would look good my kitchen bench is white and I have a black kitchen sink and a black tap with some gun metal colour

Tiles are easier to drill through to fix powerpoints so I would go that way. If a 600 tile fits then that will be clean and now grout. Since you only need one at each end, get the bench installed then pick up a couple of options and see what u think

Can't the powerpoints just go on the walls though? Sorry I don't mean to appear obtuse just don't understand why any splashback is needed and think it would look better without.
I'm thinking I'm missing something here???

Just rereading your comments re, "glass splash back, hard to clean".
With the full length of your kitchen being a glass window, you may find, if your cook top is on that wall, you will have enough to clean after each day of cooking.
With the weather on the outside, onto the window, then the sun shining through, you will see every mark on your glass window anyway.

If the question is just the practicality of glass vs tiles.

- Glass is generally put up as a single sheet without lots of grout lines to clean, but you will see every spec of grease and finger marks. So must be cleaned each and every time.

- Tiles show less daily grime however once the grout is dirty its hard to clean, there are grout pens for the occasional whiten up.

As for fitting power sockets.

- Glass is harder to cut into, a glazier will have the tricks of the trade to do this.

- Tiles are much easier to drill and cut without cracking them. If you do however crack a tile then its easier to replace that broken tile rather than a whole sheet of glass.

So in my view, glass looks cool, but isn't that practical for generally everyday family use or for the DIY installer.

Thank you very much for your help everyone I think I’ve decided to go with a white subway tile with black grout something different:) appreciate all you opinions

Love you to Post a pic when you have finished

Will do kate for sure I’m a li nervous what it will turn out like do you have any thoughts on it ? Between white and black grout with white tiles ? I have a white bench top and I have a black blanco sink and black tap. :)

My personal view would be white grout, it looks cleaner. Just been having a look online to see what grout sealers there are, and there does appear to be products available. So that should I would hope reduce the porosity of the grout and make it easier to clean.

Hi Hu,
I love the window in your kitchen, if you go white subway tiles a stack pattern would add a contemporary look and white grout would give a clean and stylish look and blend beautifully with any decor items you add.

why would you want to draw attention to the side walls? Your kitchen is looking simple and modern. The view is the highlight, not the edges with powerpoints in them.
