How to Measure for Your Glass Splashback
Installing a glass splashback in your kitchen is an excellent way to elevate the space’s look while protecting the walls from splashes and spills. Precision in measuring your space for a glass splashback is crucial for ensuring the perfect fit and finish. The Glass Warehouse is here to guide you through the measuring process, ensuring that when you order your custom glass splashback, it fits seamlessly into your kitchen.
Tools For Measuring Your Splashback
make sure you have the following tools on hand before you begin measuring the space where your splashback will be fitted:
- Tape Measure: A reliable tape measure to ensure accurate dimensions.
- Spirit Level: To check that the surfaces are even.
- Helper: Optional, but helpful for ensuring measurements are accurate, especially for larger spaces.
Step 1: Determine the Coverage Area
Decide how much of your wall you want to cover with the splashback. This could be just the length of the hob or the entire length of your countertop. Consider areas under cabinets and around any windows or sockets.
Step 2: Measure the Width
Using your tape measure, determine the width of the area where you want to install the splashback. Measure from one end to the other, ensuring the tape is straight and level. If your splashback will run beneath cabinets, measure the space between them.
Step 3: Measure the Height
Measure the height from your countertop to the underside of your kitchen cabinets or the desired stopping point. It’s important to measure from multiple points to ensure the wall is even. If there are variations, use the smallest measurement to ensure the splashback will fit.
Step 4: Account for Cut-Outs and Sockets
If there are electrical sockets or any other fixtures within the splashback area, note their exact location. Measure the distance from the countertop to the bottom of the socket and from the wall edges to the sides of the socket. The Glass Warehouse can customise the cutting of your glass splashback to accommodate these fixtures.
Step 5: Double Check Measurements
Before purchasing your bespoke glass splashback, recheck all measurements. Errors in measuring can lead to a splashback that doesn’t fit, which can be a costly mistake. Confirm every dimension to ensure accuracy.
Step 6: Consult with Experts
Once you have your measurements, consult with the team at The Glass Warehouse. We can help confirm the dimensions and advise on any additional considerations to ensure your glass splashback fits perfectly and meets your aesthetic and functional needs.
