    they use 6mm toughened glass for splash backs

    once glass is toughened it cant be cut ,the line will simply follow any thing in the glass fracture line BEFORE it was toughened,
    tiles are standard ,glass is expensive ,laminate is unpractible,granite is a cost relative to the expensive of your top,so that leaves me with go with the flow ,do as you wish to do and if your budget doesnt match your desires ,hang off until it does ,because you will only get one chance to do it right and many chances to do it wrong ,be patient !!!
    kind regards

    They are currently organising getting it out to interior designers and architects. They have already put test cases out there over the past four years with great success. No complaints, just heaps of the "wow" factor. It has something to do with what they finish with and how and the substrate.When I get more info I will happily pass it on. They are organising testimonials for the customers who have had them installed. Then samples are a couple of months off. Stay tuned.

    That wouldn't comply with gas regulations in VIC and SA. Don't know about elsewhere.

    Thanks for that link - it looks extremely interesting.

    Of particular note is that the product is intended to meet Australian
    Standards for non combustibility.

    This will be a real plus for those looking for a single splashback material for the entire kitchen (that is not tiles).

    Now to wait for the pricing...

    I just contacted the people about the Liquid Surface Solutions - the ones that were on the New Inventors. The stuffs not on the market as they're selling the product rights, and they (NuTech paints) don't know when it will see the light of day.. It won't be quick no doubt.

    So Taziban, what is this company called on the Central Coast...

    Default Alternative Splashbacks

    We have had enormous success with our alternative to glass splashbacks. They are mistaken for glass but is not and is a fraction of the cost. One client passed a comment that when family first saw their kitchen, the comment was "I thought you weren't getting glass splashbacks?" Email us on [email protected] and we will be happy to send you pics. We are still working on getting it out to there so thought we would just let everyone know in case they are interested. Sorry for the delays folks. Thanks Tazibarn!

    I know this is an old post but has anyone used Akril? They distribute through Nover which have heaps of locations.

    I might look into it for my next project

    The walls in our kitchen are rendered block so we are going to seal them & sand them smooth & paint them.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Default Splashback Pictures

    Sorry everyone. We have been inundated with emails and am working on replying to one and all. In the meantime, as pawnhead suggested, here are some pics. I am not a pc wizard so I hope these work out for you all. Please continue to send your emails and we will be pleased to help you. We have a lot of work ahead of us to get out there but we will be happy to help anyone who is interested.

    We're going to have those middle window (between wall cabinets and floor units) right across the kitchen. Can we use any glass window or does it need to be toughened and fire proof?
