What is a Stainless Steel Splashback?

A stainless steel splashback is a sheet of stainless steel that has been installed on a wall directly behind a food preparation bench, a stove, or a sink.  Its purpose is to protect the wall beneath from moisture, food spills and splatters, steam, and oil and grease.  It also protects the wall from heat.

Options in Stainless Steel Splashbacks

When it comes to stainless steel splashbacks, you are not just limited to the traditional shiny stainless steel, as good as it looks!  Stainless steel splashbacks also come in an attractive brushed finish which looks great and show up marks less easily than the reflective version.  Other finishes for stainless steel splashbacks include matte, satin, and mirror.  Stainless steel can also be patterned in a variety of ways, allowing you to use sheeting that is attractively textured.

Stainless Steel Splashbacks are Easy to Clean

Another reason why you might want to choose stainless steel splashbacks is that they are very easy to clean, making them a hygienic option.  There are no seams or grout for food or grease to get caught in, so you can be sure that your splashback remains sparkling.  You can clean the splashback with a simple cleaner or with a stainless steel cleaner that is readily available, should you want the best finish possible.

Stainless Steel Splashbacks are a Durable Choice

When you choose a splashback, you want to make sure that it is durable as it has a lot to stand up to.  Stainless steel is very strong and it is fixed to the wall very well, so it should not dent or anything over the term of its natural life.  Stainless steel is also very corrosion resistant so you don’t have to worry about unsightly spots of rust cropping up.  Of course, stainless steel splashbacks are very heat resistant – nothing is too hot for them – so they are ideal for use directly behind stovetops.  Stainless steel also won’t stain from highly pigmented sauces or from grease.

Make Your Kitchen Feel Larger

Something else that you want in your kitchen is the illusion of space and using a stainless steel splashback allows you to achieve that.  This is because it actually reflects light back into the kitchen, making it feel larger, airier, and more open.
