Splashbacks vs Tiles
Tiles and splashbacks are both popular choices for finishing kitchens and bathrooms. Tiles are thin, flat pieces of ceramic or stone, while splashbacks are flat sheets of material, such as aluminium. Many people are transitioning from traditional tiles to aluminium splashbacks due to their numerous benefits.
Aluminium splashbacks have several advantages over tiles:
- Easy maintenance and cleaning: Tiles require frequent cleaning of the grout lines, which can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. Aluminium splashbacks, on the other hand, have a smooth, continuous surface that can be easily cleaned with warm, soapy water.
- Durability: Aluminum is a highly durable material that is resistant to water, heat, and stains, making it an ideal choice for splashbacks in both kitchens and bathrooms.
- Customisation: Aluminum splashbacks are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, allowing for easy adaptation to any kitchen or bathroom design.
- Modern appeal: Aluminum splashbacks can add a sleek and contemporary look to a space, creating the illusion of more room in some cases.
- Eco-friendly: Aluminum splashbacks are 100% recyclable and can be easily repurposed, making them an environmentally friendly option.
In summary, aluminium splashbacks provide an attractive, low-maintenance, and durable alternative to traditional tiles, making them a popular choice for modern kitchen and bathroom designs.
Acrylic vs Aluminium Splashbacks
Aluminium splashbacks are generally considered better than acrylic splashbacks for a few key reasons. Firstly, aluminium is a much stronger and more durable material than acrylic, meaning that it is less likely to crack or break over time or during the installation process. Aluminium is also heat-resistant, making it ideal for use behind stovetops or ovens, whereas acrylic can melt or warp under high temperatures.
Additionally, aluminium is non-porous and therefore resistant to stains and water damage, whereas acrylic is more porous and can be damaged by water and staining agents. While acrylic splashbacks can be a more affordable option, aluminium splashbacks offer greater durability and longevity, making them a better investment in the long term.
