Product Details
(A) Product Overview & Introduction
Tempered Glass Kitchen Splashbacks are a premium, highly functional, and aesthetically versatile solution designed to protect walls behind cooktops, sinks, and countertops from grease, moisture, heat, and food stains. This product is fundamentally a sheet of high-quality clear, ultra-clear, or colored glass that undergoes a precise digital or screen-printing process to apply any desired hue, pattern, or image onto its surface, followed by a permanent firing in a tempering kiln that bonds the ceramic frit to the glass at a molecular level. The final, crucial step is thermal tempering, which transforms the printed glass into a safety-rated material that is 4-5 times stronger than ordinary glass and, if broken, will crumble into small, granular pieces rather than dangerous shards. Unlike traditional tiles with grout lines that trap dirt and bacteria, a glass splashback provides a completely seamless, non-porous surface that forms an impermeable barrier, making it not only a stunning design centerpiece for modern kitchens but also the most hygienic and low-maintenance option available on the market. At Shandong Ulan Glass, we specialize in creating bespoke glass splashbacks that perfectly match your cabinetry, countertops, or bold design vision, combining unparalleled durability with effortless cleanliness.
(B) Core Product Features & Advantages
- Unbeatable Hygiene & Easy Cleaning: The non-porous, glazed surface resists absorption of oils, liquids, and food particles. Splatters wipe away instantly with a damp cloth and mild detergent, eliminating the scrubbing and discoloration associated with porous materials like grout, natural stone, or even some painted surfaces. It is inherently mold and mildew resistant.
- Extreme Heat & Stain Resistance: The ceramic frit printing is fired at over 600°C, making it completely resistant to heat from pots, pans, and cooking appliances. It will not discolor, blister, or degrade from high temperatures or common kitchen chemicals (within reason). The surface is also highly resistant to stains from wine, vinegar, turmeric, and other potent agents.
- Design Freedom & Customization: We offer true limitless design possibilities. This includes:
- Solid Colors: Match any RAL, Pantone, or NCS color with precision.
- Digital Prints: High-resolution photographs, patterns, geometric designs, or murals.
- Metallic & Effects: Mirrored finishes, brushed metal looks, or subtle textures.
- Seamless Appearance: Can be manufactured in large sizes (subject to tempering furnace limits) to minimize visible joints, creating a sleek, continuous backdrop.
Safety & Durability: Every splashback is fully tempered (toughened) to comply with safety glazing standards (e.g., EN 12150). This makes it highly impact-resistant and ensures safe breakage. The hardened surface is also highly scratch-resistant, maintaining its like-new appearance for decades.
Adds Light & Value: Glass reflects light, helping to brighten the kitchen space, especially behind countertops that may be under-cabinet shadows. A well-designed glass splashback is a recognized feature that enhances the overall appeal and perceived value of a kitchen.

Edge Work | Seamed & Polished (Pencil Edge), Flat Polish, Beveled, Mitred | A seamed/polished edge is standard for a safe, smooth finish. |
Installation | Adhesive (Silicone) fixing to a flat, stable substrate (plasterboard, plywood). | We supply. We recommend professional installation. Templates can be provided. |
(D) Detailed Applications, Installation & Care Guide
- Primary Application: The Modern Kitchen. Installed behind the hob, sink, and along countertop walls. It is ideal for both residential kitchens and commercial food service areas (restaurants, cafes, bars) due to its hygiene.
- Installation Process (Overview):
- The wall must be flat, clean, dry, and stable (plastered plasterboard or plywood).
- A high-quality, neutral-cure silicone adhesive is applied in beads or full coverage to the back of the glass.
- The panel is carefully positioned and pressed into place, often with temporary support.
- Edges are typically sealed with a matching silicone bead for a waterproof finish.
Maintenance: Simply wipe with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh acidic/alkaline cleaners that could dull the surface over time.
Comparison with Other Materials: Unlike tiles (grout issues), stainless steel (shows scratches), laminate (heat sensitive), or painted walls (stains), glass offers a unique balance of durability, cleanability, and custom aesthetics.
(E) Our Manufacturing & Quality Assurance Process
We begin with a site template or precise dimensions you provide. The glass is cut to size, and all edges are meticulously seamed and polished. The design is then applied using our state-of-the-art digital ceramic printers for photorealistic results or automated screen-printing for solid colors. The printed glass enters a tempering furnace, where it is heated to over 700°C. This firing cycle simultaneously permanently fuses the colors to the glass and tempers the glass for safety. Each piece is inspected for color accuracy, print quality, and optical clarity. We conduct random fragmentation tests to ensure tempering quality. Before dispatch, the glass is cleaned, and protective film is applied to the printed surface.
(F) Packaging, Shipping & Project Support
Each glass splashback is individually wrapped in soft, non-stick protective material, with reinforced cardboard corner protectors. It is then packed securely in a custom-sized wooden crate, clearly labeled as “FRAGILE GLASS” and “TEMPERED - DO NOT CUT.” We provide detailed handling and installation guidelines. For complex projects, we can offer digital renderings of your design concept and work with your installer to ensure a perfect fit.
