Why PVC splashbacks
-
Wipe-clean & grease-resistant — no porous grout to stain or harbour bacteria.
-
Fully waterproof — safe behind sinks and taps without silicone failure.
-
Fast install — grab adhesive, cut with a fine-tooth saw, done in 1–3 hours.
-
Premium finishes — marble, stone and gloss looks at a fraction of the cost of real stone or glass.
- Heat-stable near hobs when fitted with a glass heat shield — see the PVC vs tiles comparison for the full trade-off.
Which thickness — 8 mm or 10 mm?
Best-seller
8 mm PVC
The standard splashback thickness. Rigid, solid to the touch, and ideal for the vast majority of kitchen splashbacks — behind sinks, along worktops, and full-wall runs.
Heavy-duty
10 mm PVC
A step up in weight and impact resistance. A good pick behind hobs (with a glass heat shield), on island backs, and anywhere the panel takes knocks or a premium feel matters.

Finish it properly — trims
A splashback that lasts is a splashback that’s trimmed properly. You’ll typically want:
-
End caps to close off exposed vertical edges.
Colour-matched profiles are here: PVC Wall Panel Trims.
Where to use them
-
Behind hobs and cookers — fit a heat-resistant glass panel between the PVC and the hob.
-
Behind sinks and taps — fully waterproof, no silicone failure.
-
Utility rooms & pantries — durable, food-safe surface.
Splashback FAQs
Are PVC splashbacks safe behind a hob or oven?
Yes, with a heat-resistant glass shield between the panel and the hob. Our PVC is stable in normal kitchen ambient conditions but should not be exposed to direct flame or radiant heat above roughly 60°C.
Can I fit a PVC splashback over existing tiles?
Yes — as long as the tiles are solid and clean. The panel hides grout lines and old edges completely.
Will it discolour from heat or steam?
No — our PVC is heat-stable at normal kitchen temperatures and UV-stabilised against yellowing.
How do I cut them?
Fine-tooth hand saw, jigsaw with a fine blade, or score-and-snap with a sharp knife. Cut on the decorative face for the cleanest edge.
