I have had two Glass

Splashbacks cut to size (One for behind the Hob, and one behind the sink) each with 4 holes to fix them to the wall. Does anyone know of any attractive fixings I can mount them with?

I am after a brushed steel effect fixing, circular with a flat head. Just like in Architectural uses for buildings. The only one’s I keep getting told to buy are the old fashioned

chrome domed head types, that looked okay in bathrooms 20 years ago!

Also, I have not tiled anywhere in the kitchen. Just painted down to the worktop, and apart from the two splashbacks mentioned above, I don’t want any other tiling/splashbacks in

the kitchen. This leaves a gap behind the worktop, and it is quite considerable in places. Any good ideas to seal this gap, without making it look like an after thought?

May I also put forward an idea with regards your website. What about a Gallery section for all the users of the Forum? That way poeple can see the solution once it has been done,

and also people could take a picture of the finished kitchen for everyone else to look at?

Blue Dan,

Thanks for the suggestion regarding images for forum members and it seems a good idea that is certainly worth consideration.

The site will undergo some changes before the New Year to reflect our most popular pages and our new installation services so watch this space.

I’m not a great fan of splashbacks that have visible fixings but with glass, which I think makes a great looking and effective splahback, there seems no alternative unless the depth

of colour allows an unseen sealant to be applied.

That being the case, there is a flat surface alternative to the dome shaped mirror fixings and I suggest you visit a hardware specialist in your area to determine what is available.

What you must consider is the regulations regarding the glass behingd the hob as it will have to be able to withstand the temperature.

Unless you can further scribe your tops to closer meet the wall then your only options are to install an upstand to conceal the gap. The choices are various and you might wish to

consider stainless steel, laminate, glass etc.
