If you're not sure on how to choose the right kitchen splashback panels for you, here's a complete guide:

1. What are the benefits of using kitchen splashbacks?

We all know that kitchens can get very messy, very quickly, and can be quite difficult to keep on top of. A fresh lick of paint is no match for water and food splashes on walls behind worktops, hobs and sinks which can leave stains that are difficult to remove.

Kitchen splashback sheeting can be applied as an easily cleanable hygienic guard protecting your walls from food, water and general grease.

At Sheet Plastics we offer over 30 different colours and effects that you can choose from.

As well as being easily to install and making your walls stain-resistant, adding acrylic splashbacks to your kitchen can be an extremely cost-effective method of adding a fresh and modern style to the room.

2. What are the advantages of using acrylic splashbacks over traditional glass splashbacks and kitchen tiles?

Before becoming a stylish staple in many modern kitchens, kitchen splashbacks were often made using glass or tiles for their functionality and water resistance. Whilst they are still frequently used in kitchen design, acrylic sheets have become a more versatile and durable kitchen splashback alternative.

Here's a list outlining some of the many benefits of using acrylic splashbacks for kitchens:

• Impact resistance - Shatterproof acrylic sheeting is a safer & more hard wearing material than glass. In fact, our acrylic splashback sheets are 17x stronger than glass with a much higher impact resistance.
• Recycling - All of our plastic splashbacks can be recycled.
• Colour - All of our coloured splashbacks are UV stabilised ensuring their colour won't deteriorate under excessive sunlight exposure.
• Lightweight - Acrylic sheets can weigh up to 50% less than a piece of glass of an equivalent size.
• Easy to clean - The smooth surfaces of acrylic are easily cleaned using just a cloth and warm soapy water making it a hygienic fit for kitchen panels.

• Easily fabricated - We offer a bespoke cutting service but if you'd rather do it yourself, not a problem! Acrylic can be cut and sized using common toolbox equipment.
• Order pre cut - Do you need your splashbacks cut to size? We can cut to any shape or size including cutting out space for wall sockets or power cables so your new kitchen splashback panel can be applied in minutes.
• Easy & quick installation - Simply use grab adhesive or screws or apply to your kitchen wall. (Contact us if you're unsure about installation).
• High gloss finish - Create a contemporary finish with our eye-catching high gloss acrylic. For those who prefer a mat finish, we also offer frosted acrylic sheet.

3. Choosing the right acrylic splashback for your kitchen

First things first, you need to identify which areas of your kitchen need to be protected by splash panels.

Sink Splashbacks

One of the most common places splash guards are found in kitchens is directly behind the sink. Sink splashbacks are not only a great replacement for standard kitchen tiles, but they can also serve as a protector for existing tiling. There are numerous benefits to having a sink splashback which can be listed below:

• It will look more contemporary than standard tiles – A brand new splashback will look stylish and certainly up-to-date. It won’t look 'worn down' in the way that standard kitchen tiles can after a prolonged period of time. 
• Cost-effective – In comparison to fixing tiles to your sink wall, splashbacks are extremely cost effective. This is because you are only paying for a whole sheet as opposed to multiple boxes of tiles which can be very expensive. 
• Easy installation – Splashbacks are incredibly easy to fit into your kitchen or bathroom, without the need to call for professional help. It is very much a DIY task and, once the sheet has been cut to your desired size, can be installed using a clear silicone adhesive to the area of your choosing. 
• Waterproof – Your kitchen or bathroom area is prone to moisture due to the presence of kitchen sinks, refrigerators and other sources of moisture. This can settle onto surfaces and overtime can cause mould and discolouration. However, a splashback is waterproof, so will not allow the moisture to lay stagnant where it can often turn into mould.
• Hygienic – All of our splashbacks meet the necessary food safety standards, so are perfect for using in any residential or commercial kitchen environment
• Very easy to clean – Acrylic and glass sink splashbacks are incredibly easy to keep clean. All that is required is soap, a sponge and warm water. These simple washing equipment will help you maintain that crystal clear finish for your sink splashback. 

 Finally, we recommend a splash of colour to compliment a metallic sink or clear acrylic to protect your tiles to truly enhance the aesthetic of your kitchen area.
