Rangehood Splashback Buying Guide

What is a rangehood splashback?

A rangehood splashback is a piece of stainless steel or coloured glass that is designed to sit on the wall behind your cooking area. Not only do rangehood splashbacks look good, they help to protect your kitchen wall from heat, grease and food splashes. Splashbacks offer a smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth after you've finished cooking.

Easy to install, splashbacks should be mounted on the wall behind your cooktop. They can be mounted by using brackets, taking the stress out of installation. All the edges of rangehood splashbacks are rounded for safety purposes - so you don't cut yourself on the edges.

When used in conjunction with a rangehood, a rangehood splashback will help keep your kitchen clean, hygienic and stylish.

Why buy a rangehood splashback?

Installing a new rangehood splashback is an easy way to spruce up a tired-looking kitchen. Smooth and shiny, a splashback will also put the finishing touch on a kitchen renovation.

As mentioned, splashbacks also perform a practical function - to protect the wall behind your cooktop from getting stained with grease and food.

Most splashbacks will also incorporate a rail from which you can hang cooking utensils and pans.


Size considerations

Most rangehood splashbacks have a height of around 69cm. The width will vary from 60cm to 120cm.

Before you purchase, please measure the space available on the wall behind your cooktop. You will want the width of the splashback to match the width of the cooktop, both for practical and aesthetic reasons.
