How to fit your splashback

SAFE HANDLING GLASS

All products are supplied with a safety backing but we recommend that the glass is handled with care and in particular eye protection and suitable gloves should be worn.
Do not touch the backing once it’s been peeled as contamination can affect the adhesive properties of the backing.
We advise that the product is brought to room temperature over a period of 24 hours if it has been subject to very hot or cold conditions.

IMPORTANT

Unfitted glass is fragile. Do not place on hard surfaces prior to fitting. Special care should be taken with the corners of the product as impact will cause the product to shatter.

Always wear cut proof gloves and goggles when cutting glass.

If you need to cut the upstand in order to fit the length of your worktop, please exercise extreme caution. Glass cutting should only be undertaken by a competent individual. If in doubt, consult a professional glass cutter.

WARNING! Always wear cut proof gloves and goggles when cutting glass.

1. Plan your layout so that any cut edges are placed into a corner leaving the factory finished edges on show.
2. Mark out the line you want to cut.
3. Using a suitable straight edge as a guide, score the face of the glass ONCE with an appropriate glass cutter.
   Remove the unwanted section by snapping to length in the normal way, or using running pliers, as standard glass-cutting practice.
4. Turn the upstand over. Bend the cut piece back and cut through the backing material with a sharp craft knife. Make sure you are cutting away from your body and ALWAYS KEEP BOTH HANDS BEHIND THE CUTTING EDGE.
5. Take the sharp edge off the piece you are going to use with a de-arrissing block/stone.
