Splashbacks and mirrors, custom matched.
Colour-matched back-painted glass, low-iron upgrade, antiqued and smoked mirrors, anti-fog and LED-backlit bathroom mirrors. Toughened where heat or impact demands.
What it is
A splashback is the glass behind your cooktop, bench or vanity. A mirror is the same panel set behind silvering, with the same install discipline. Both reward custom colour-match and the right glass spec — and both age badly when corners are cut.
Standard float glass has a green tint that shifts the colour of any back-painted finish — pale colours become pale-green, white becomes off-green. Low-iron glass removes the tint and reveals the true colour. For most splashback colours we default to low-iron at our premium tier.
For mirrors the conversation is similar: standard mirror is silvered float, with a slight green cast; low-iron mirror reads neutral.
When clients choose it
Where it fits.
- Back-painted splashback — any Dulux, Porter’s, Resene or custom RAL colour, matched on the back face
- Low-iron back-painted — recommended for pale colours and where colour accuracy matters
- Mirror splashback — silvered glass, for the reflective effect rather than a colour
- Toughened behind cooktops — effectively mandatory under AS 1288:2021
- Antiqued, smoked or bronze decorative mirror — for bathrooms and bars
- Anti-fog bathroom mirror — a heated element keeps the centre clear after showers
- LED-backlit mirror — custom-perimeter or full-back illumination, switch or sensor
Materials & finishes
Specified by name.
- Glass
- Toughened A-grade behind any cooktop — standard float will crack from thermal shock; we extend the panel to the cabinetry margins, never just to the cooktop edge. Low-iron upgrade for true colour. Cut-outs are laser-cut before toughening — never on site.
- Finishes
- Back-paint matched to Dulux, Porter's, Resene or custom RAL. Silvered, low-iron silvered, antiqued, smoked and bronze mirror. Anti-fog and LED-backlit options for bathrooms.
Compliance
- AS 1288:2021 — toughened safety glass behind cooktops and in impact-prone locations.
A compliance certificate is issued at handover.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Will my paint colour really shift on standard glass?
Yes — particularly with pale colours. Bring a colour chip to the consultation and we'll show you a low-iron sample next to a standard sample. The difference is visible.
Can the splashback double as the rangehood return?
Yes — a single piece with custom cut-outs is straightforward where the rangehood is built-in or concealed.
Can you install glass over existing tile?
Possible where the tile face is flat and intact — it saves demolition but needs a careful measure. We discuss it at consultation.
How long does the back-painted finish last?
The paint is sealed behind toughened glass — effectively permanent. The glass face is the wear surface, and that lasts as long as the kitchen.
