Elevating Splashback: Melbourne-Crafted, Exquisite Design

Unlike any traditional painted wall or tile, splashbacks offer multiple advantages:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Splashbacks elevate the visual appeal of your kitchen or bathroom, creating a more modern and stylish space.
• Durability And Easy Maintenance: Made from high-quality materials like glass, stone, or acrylic, splashbacks are resistant to heat, scratches, and stains. They’re also much easier to clean than tiles, requiring a soft cloth and mild detergent.
• Improved Hygiene: Splashbacks eliminate grout lines, a haven for bacteria and mould growth, promoting better hygiene in wet areas.
• Increased Light Reflection: Glass splashbacks, in particular, help bounce light around the room, creating a brighter and more open feel.
• Wide Range Of Design Options: From classic glass to toughened mirror splashbacks or bold metallic colours, we offer a diverse range to suit any style and colour scheme.

At Star Sheetmetal, we are experienced in a variety of splashback options to suit your needs and preferences:

• Glass Splashbacks: Melbourne is known for glass splashback designs, which offer a sleek and modern look in a diverse range of colours and finishes. We also offer toughened glass for added safety.
• Stone Splashbacks: A timeless and elegant option, available in various natural stone finishes to complement your kitchen or bathroom design.
• Mirrored Splashbacks: Create a sense of spaciousness and reflect light beautifully, perfect for smaller kitchens or bathrooms.

Acrylic Splashbacks: A cost-effective alternative to glass, offering a glossy finish in a wide range of colours.

Absolutely! Splashbacks are a versatile solution for various wet areas in your Melbourne home, including:

• Bathrooms: Create a spa-like atmosphere with easy-to-clean and stylish splashbacks around your vanity or bathtub.

Laundries: Boost the functionality and aesthetics of your laundry with a durable and hygienic splashback.

Here are some key factors to think about when selecting your splashback:

• Material: Consider factors like durability, maintenance requirements, and heat resistance based on the intended location.
• Colour And Style: Choose a colour and style that complement your decor and personal taste.
• Lighting: Think about how the splashback will interact with your lighting to create the desired atmosphere.
• Size And Layout: We offer site measurement services in Melbourne to ensure your splashback perfectly fits the designated space.

Safety is a top priority at Star Sheetmetal. That’s why we predominantly use toughened glass for our splashbacks.

This type of glass undergoes a heat treatment process, making it significantly stronger and more resistant to impact than regular glass.

Even if it breaks, it gets shattered into small, blunt pieces, minimising the risk of injury.

While fingerprints can be more visible on mirrored surfaces than other options, there are ways to minimise this. We use high-quality mirrored splashbacks with a special coating that makes them more fingerprint-resistant.

Maintaining a clean microfiber cloth for quick touch-ups throughout the day also helps keep your mirrored splashback looking its best.

Absolutely! Our splashbacks, particularly those made from glass or stone, are highly heat-resistant and can withstand the heat generated by most cooktops.

However, it’s always recommended to maintain a safe distance between the cooktop and the splashback as per the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific cooktop model.

The installation time for your splashback will depend on the size and complexity of the project. However, our experienced team typically completes most splashback installations in Melbourne within a day. 

We’ll provide you with a more accurate timeframe during the consultation process.

We ensure the quality and craftsmanship of our products. Star Sheetmetal discusses splashback installations to provide you with peace of mind. 

We’ll discuss all the necessary details and options in detail during the consultation.

Absolutely! While high-quality glass and stone offer a luxurious look, we understand budget is a significant factor.

Here are some cost-effective options to consider:

• Acrylic Splashbacks: These are a fantastic alternative to glass, offering a glossy finish in a wide range of colours at a lower price point.
• Smaller Splashback Sections: Instead of covering the entire wall, consider a splashback focused on your cooktop or sink area. This reduces material usage and installation costs.
• Discounted Remnant Splashbacks: Occasionally, we have discounted remnant pieces from larger projects. These can be a great way to score a beautiful splashback at a reduced cost, though size and colour selection will be limited.

During the consultation, we’ll discuss your budget and design goals to recommend the most suitable and affordable splashback option for your Melbourne home.

Absolutely! Star Sheetmetal offers custom splashbacks tailored to your specific needs. 

Our professional team can take the exact measurements of your designated area and fabricate a splashback that perfectly fits the space, including cutouts for electrical outlets or plumbing fixtures.

This level of customisation ensures a seamless and polished look, eliminating the need for awkward trimming or gaps.

We’re here to help! Our design professionals can guide you through the selection process, considering factors like:

• Existing Decor: We’ll help you choose a colour or style that complements your kitchen or bathroom design for a cohesive look.
• Lighting: How light interacts with your splashback can significantly impact the overall feel. We can advise on colour choices that optimise light reflection or create a desired ambience.
• Desired Ambience: Do you want a bold statement piece or a more subtle and elegant look? We’ll help you translate your vision into a stunning reality.

We also have various splashback samples to help you visualise different materials, colours, and finishes in your space.

Splashbacks are incredibly low-maintenance compared to traditional tiles.

Here are some simple tips to keep your splashback looking its best:

• Regular Cleaning: For normal cleaning, use a soft microfiber cloth and a light detergent solution. Avoid harsh cleansers and scouring pads, which can harm the surface. 
• Dealing With Stains: For more stubborn stains, use a glass cleaner or a vinegar and water combination.
• Preventing Hard Water Marks: If you have hard water, wiping down your splashback with a squeegee after cleaning can help prevent water spots.

By following these simple aftercare practices, your splashback will have its beauty and functionality for years to come.

Of course! We’re happy to assist you throughout the process.
