The most common material used to make splashbacks is ceramic tiles, which come in various colours, designs, and shapes. But even tiles can lose their looks, especially the grout used between the tiles which get dirty and discoloured very fast. Cleaning the grout requires care because you have to move the cooker to clean the tiles, and that is not a job which the housewife can do easily. A new material that has started making its presence felt are coloured glass splashbacks for kitchens which has proved to be hygienic and gives the kitchen a very professional look. Glass splashbacks are not cheap, as the material and the process used to make them is expensive.
