What Is A Mirror Splashback And How Is It Helpful?

A mirror splashback is a reflective glass which looks like a normal mirror. It is installed in kitchens and other wet areas. It is made up of safety glass which is toughened enough with a special backing. This specialised mirror is corrosion proof, and also moisture and vapour resistant. You can get it in various colours in Sunshine Coast.

Using mirror splashbacks

The advantage of a mirror splashback is that you can install it anywhere you like. It is particularly well suited for kitchens, but can also be ideal for bathrooms, laundries and even outdoor areas like patio picnics and get-togethers. Splashback is available in a wide range of colours, which means that you can choose one that best suits the decor of the particular area. And the fact that splashback is so reflective means that it can be the perfect application for making your space feel larger.

Installing mirror splashbacks

Mirror splashbacks are first measured up for installation and then the cabinetry, power points and fittings are installed. Measurement is important so that the glass is cut exactly to the required size and with all the necessary holes and allowances. The splashback is then made to exact specifications in the factory so that it is ready to be installed on site. Once the mirror splashback is made, it is then transported to the site and installed using strong industrial adhesives so that it can be securely affixed to the wall. The product is then completely sealed all the way around so that no moisture can get behind it.

Mirrored splashbacks are completely opaque, just like any other mirror, so there is no chance of being able to see the wall through it. But you must hire a glazier to get the best material and also for the proper installation.

Splashbacks can be affixed to just about any wall surface including plasterboard, concrete, wood and more. Only make sure that the wall surface is smooth and there are no high spots sticking out from it.

Caring for mirror splashbacks

Splashbacks do not need much maintenance. They are very easy to maintain due to the smooth surface. All you need to do is to use a glass cleaning product with a soft cloth or a paper towel. Do not use any harsh cleaning agents or products such as steel wool.

The best is to hire a glazier to maintain the splashbacks and enhance the functionality.
