When designing or renovating a kitchen, splashbacks often get left until the end – but they deserve to be part of the plan from the start. In a space that’s used every day, your splashback plays a key role in both protecting your walls and tying together your kitchen’s overall look. If you’re in Perth and considering your options, here’s what to think about when it comes to balancing practicality with design.
What makes a good kitchen splashback?
A kitchen splashback should be more than just a pretty backdrop. It needs to handle daily wear and tear, be easy to clean, and work with your kitchen layout. At Wanneroo Glass, we’ve worked with Perth homeowners for decades and know what features matter most.
Here’s what to look for:
- A smooth, non-porous surface that resists stains and moisture.
- Heat resistance – especially near cooktops.
- Seamless installation for a clean, modern finish.
- Colours or finishes that complement cabinetry and benchtops.
Whether you’re renovating or starting fresh, choosing a quality material and getting the right fit from the start will save you time and money down the line.
Why glass makes sense for Perth homes
Glass splashbacks have become one of the most popular choices across Perth kitchens – and for good reason. They’re easy to keep clean, come in a huge variety of colours, and bring a polished, modern look to any kitchen style. Plus, they reflect light, helping smaller kitchens feel more open.
Unlike tiles, there are no grout lines to deal with, which means less mould and less scrubbing. Just a quick wipe with glass cleaner and you’re done.
And with local installers like us, you’re getting:
- Custom-measured panels tailored to your kitchen’s layout.
- Safe, AS1288-compliant glass.
- Colour advice based on real Perth homes and lighting conditions.
Not just style – it’s about custom functionality
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We measure, cut, and install each glass splashback to suit your exact needs.
Some practical design elements we regularly work around include:
- Cut-outs for power points or rangehoods.
- Full-height panels behind cooktops for extra protection.
- Wrap-around corners for seamless joins.
This kind of precision matters, especially when you’re dealing with high-use spaces. It’s not just about what looks good – it’s about what lasts and performs.

Choosing your colour without second guessing
Selecting a colour for your splashback might feel like a small decision, but it makes a big impact. It ties your kitchen together and can even influence how spacious it feels.
Here’s what we recommend considering:
- How natural and artificial light plays in the space
- Whether you want your splashback to blend in or stand out
- The tone of your benchtop and cabinetry
Neutrals are safe and timeless, but bold colours can bring personality. If you’re unsure, we offer sample matching to help you see how options will look in your own kitchen, in your own lighting.
