Glass splashbacks have quickly become a go-to choice for Perth homeowners wanting to elevate their kitchen’s look while making cleaning a breeze. But before jumping into an installation, it pays to know what you’re getting and what makes this feature work best in a WA home. At Wanneroo Glass, we’ve been helping locals upgrade with confidence for over 40 years, and here’s what we think you should know upfront.
The style-meets-function upgrade your kitchen needs
A well-chosen glass splashback can completely transform your kitchen. It’s not just about aesthetics – it’s a practical decision too. We’re talking sleek, modern surfaces that are:
- Easy to wipe down and keep clean.
- Resistant to stains and mould.
- Designed to reflect light, making the space feel larger and brighter.
For busy Perth families or anyone who enjoys cooking at home, it’s a solution that doesn’t just look great but also makes day-to-day life easier.
Custom is key
Every kitchen is different, and that’s why off-the-shelf options don’t always cut it. At Wanneroo Glass, we work closely with customers to deliver tailored splashbacks that match the exact size, layout and style of your kitchen. Some things we take into account include:
- Power points or cut-outs required.
- The type of cooktop you’re using (for heat resistance).
- Colour preferences to suit your cabinetry and benchtops.
Our team of experienced glaziers ensures each piece is cut to spec, installed with precision, and compliant with AS1288 safety standards.
Thinking about colour? Here’s what works in Perth homes
Glass splashbacks come in an impressive range of colours, but Perth homes often lean toward tones that match the WA lifestyle: clean, bright and open. That said, it’s not just about what looks good now – it’s about choosing something that will still feel fresh years down the track.
Popular choices include:
- Soft neutrals like white, light grey or cream.
- Deep charcoals for contrast in modern homes.
- Subtle greens or blues to bring in a coastal feel.
We recommend viewing samples in your kitchen space to see how the light hits them throughout the day. This helps you avoid surprises once the splashback is installed.
Timing matters – when to book your splashback install
A common misconception is that splashbacks are one of the first things to go into a kitchen. In reality, it’s one of the final touches. We recommend getting in touch once:
- Your cabinetry is fully installed.
- Your benchtops are in place.
- All measurements can be finalised with accuracy.
Because our process includes a site measure and custom cutting, we can’t start until the bones of the kitchen are done. But once we’re in, the turnaround is fast – we’re known for getting things done when they need to be.
Perth homes, local know-how
Being locally owned and operated, we understand the quirks of WA homes – from older character kitchens to newly built spaces. And because we’ve been doing this for over four decades, we know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to installing glass splashbacks in Perth.
You’ll get upfront advice, straight talk, and no cut corners. We show up on time, measure properly, and keep you in the loop from start to finish.

A kitchen splashback is more than just a finishing touch – it’s a functional feature that deserves careful thought. With the right advice, a custom design and a team that knows Perth kitchens inside and out, you’ll end up with something that lasts and looks the part.
