You know what Matt, that was a very clever idea there. Thank you for sharing this novel solution. A couple of minor points though for those viewing: 1) It's not called lead free glass it's low-iron glass that is clear as the glasses natural iron content has a greenish-blue tint. The thicker the glass the more noticeable this tint would be. Low iron glass has a ferric oxide of only 0.01% compared to normal glass. 2) Make sure you use a low modular 'neutral cure' silicone to bond the sheets to the wall. Or a 'mirror silicone' which is the same basically. These have a neutral ph, so don't contain any active acids or alkaline which could react/erode the rear painted surface while curing. Acetic silicone (the vinegar smelling ones) could eat through the paint weakening it so that you could see it or the bond could fail over time. Also 'low modulus' will cure with more elasticity and allow the panels to expand very slightly through natural temp changes. (Low modulus=stays elastic, High modulus=cures hard) 3) Finish the joints to the worktop using proper profiled silicone tools such as those made by FUGI. See this brilliant video on how to apply _kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lap5Z8uXrbPDeJs.html IMHO I think you would also have saved yourself a lot of work and it would have looked better if you had thought about the internal corner angle boxings before fixing the glass. (a single splay perhaps) but then hindsight is really a wonderful thing. But all in all I will stash this clever idea away ! Thank you

Perfect, thanks! Just what I needed to know this was DIY-capable.

I shall enjoy watching this with a cold drink later! Cheers Matt. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I wanted to do this with plexiglass for the longest time. Urs looks great

Please recommend best silicone for splashback

Beautiful, thanks for the video. Definitely going to try this.

Me too, I really enjoy watching his videos. ❤️🤗🤗🤗

Can you link to the paint used and did it hold up for 3 years?

matt amazing job ,love it so clever the way you done .

Just got quoted $800 - 1100 AUD, Including installation in Adelaide 700x2900 mm (one piece) which is about 320 £, a 3x1m slab tile worked out to be too risky and pricey $2-4k. Or $330 plus $250 for wooden box, if I bought it , moved it, cut it, and installed, but notoriously hard to cut and move.

I love your idea. My kitchen is ancient. It has tiles on And i hate it as grout is gungy. How do I camouflage the tile?. If I remove the tile it makes a hole in the plaster. .. I LL have to use colour glass I suppose. Utterly brilliant. I notice too , you have no trim under your cupboard units . Did you put lights under. I saw led tape light that stick on battery operated rechargable

Great. Well done.

Looks great mate..... Thanks for sharing

👏👏👏

Looks cool. did you make a template of plywood or cardboard? How did you get them to cut the holes for switches? How did they deliver the final product or did you collect? Have you got there website and email so we can order, also you did not list where you got the paint and sealant . Thank you

Its low iron glass not low lead. Very good video tho this what i do for a living. And who ever quoted you for the glass is very reasonable as it would have cost probably £800 in clear and £2400 in painted from my company.

very nice job mate!

Hi Matt where did you order the glass from?

Any signs where the silicone spots are? Heard that this potentially shows through.

Hi Matt, great video! watched it a couple of times. May I ask why you went with multiple sheets instead of 1 sheet for the back of the hob? Thanks

Love this!

4:06 “Paint the back” ? Details, plz.

Hi Matt. Where did you get the plywood cabinet doors?

Hi Matt Great job. Did you add silicon to the gaps in the glass behind the hob? And does that gap need to be 3mm on both sides? So that gap would be 6mm? Cheers

Did you cut the outlet holes yourself? If so how? Great video nice look.

I’ve heard paint cans can peel over time? How is it holding up a year later?

Could have installed outlets on bottom of top cabinets, hidden, no holes in the glass

hi Matt do you do private work? i am based in surrey..

Not sure why they would charge so much for painting 🤣 advice to anyone trying don't use any paint needs to be a specialist paint to adhere to glass ! It will peel and delaminate after a while ! I've seen it happen so many times ! And make sure it's toughened or heat pans or pushing in plugs will crack it

Low iron toughened glass. No such thing as led glass. That paint will also fall off with time. Also safety glass wont crack

Hi Matt, I really like your videos, where are you based?

Why can't you just paint the wall ther color of your choice, and then put the glass on versus painting the glass? Love the look of plain glass splashback. 1st saw it in Architectural Digest Magazine for a London Kitchen but no description of glass type etc. I'm in U.S. Thanks for the video.
