Common Questions About Glass Backsplashes

Considering adding a glass backsplash into your kitchen?

Glass backsplashes are an increasingly popular choice for modern kitchens due to their sleek appearance, easy maintenance, and durability. 

If you’re thinking about adding a glass backsplash into your kitchen, you may have a few questions about its installation and practical considerations. 

Here are some answers to common questions we hear: 

“What about the outlets, and how are they covered?”

Glass backsplashes will have holes cut out for your outlets. The outlets can then be covered with standard plastic/metal outlet covers like those used throughout the rest of the house. 

There are also options to have custom outlet covers made to match the color and patterns in your backsplash, so the outlets blend in seamlessly. 

“What surface does the glass backsplash need to be installed on?” 

Glass needs a solid, flat surface to be installed on for use as a backsplash. Drywall is perfectly acceptable! 

“What is the process for getting a glass backsplash?” 

One of the first steps is getting an accurate measurement/template for the space to be covered by the backsplash. This is something best left to a professional to ensure a nice, tight-fitting installation. 

Next comes selecting the style of glass used. There are some common options available that provide a single color of glass. The selection of colors is relatively limited with this basic option. There is also the option for custom colors and patterns, allowing you to create a truly unique and personalized backsplash for your kitchen.
