MEASURING

 

Make sure your tape measure isnt damaged. Ask a friend to help to confirm the measurements. Write them down and recheck the sizes

Always measure width first then height  W x H

Take two measurments for each width (top &bottom) and hight (left & right) and use the smaller measurement.

 

Allow 3mm off the width and height. Leaving you with measurements 3mm smaller than your tight measurements. This is because the glass industry works to a tolerance of +/- 2mm. So if the glass is 2mm too big the glass will still fit. The slight gap will be sealed with the free silicone provided.

 

SOCKET CUTOUT

 

With a felt tip pen (non permanent) measure and mark the centre of the socket both left to right and top to botton with  a light cross.

 

•           Measure from the cross to the nearest wall.

•           Measure from the work top to the cross.

 

Make a sketch and and add these dimentions.

         

SHAPING TO  COOKER HOOD

 

If you require glass splashbacks that are not a standard square-cut shape, we can tailor the order to your specific requirements.   For instance, if you would like the glass to be shaped to your cooker hood, just let us know the make and model, this can be found inside the filter compartment.  We have a range of cooker hood digital templates to cover most brands.  

 

In addition to shaping glass to cookerhoods, we also have the facility to supply glass splashbacks with radius corners, tapered edges or notches to fit even the most awkward of areas.

 

 

FITTING GLASS YOURSELF  (Note telephone and online sales include FREE adhesive & FREE delivery - uk mainland)

 

The majority of glass splashbacks under 1000mm can be fitted by yourself with ease and we offer a choice of either tubes of clear low modular silicone adhesive or drill holes to affix your glass to the wall.  Take care when unpacking your splashback from the parcel, not to knock the edges or corners on hard surfaces as although toughened glass is extremely strong, a harsh impact to the glass may cause a chip or even cause the glass to shatter. 

 

When applying adhesive, simply apply blobs of the silicone approximately 50mm in from the edges of the rear of the splashback spacing 200mm apart.  Gently push back to the wall until you can feel the silicone taking hold.  Once in place allow the silicone to cure for 12 hours You can use silicone to seal around the edges.
