White Sparkle is our most photographed kitchen splashback — a glittering white finish with embedded sparkle particles that catches light beautifully and brightens dark kitchens like nothing else in our range. Available as a 10mm wall panel or as a heavy-duty 10mm kitchen splashback, both Class 1 fire-rated and 100% waterproof.

Why White Sparkle stands out

  • Catches light beautifully — the embedded sparkle creates depth even in flat lighting
  • Brightens dark kitchens dramatically — reflective particles bounce light around the room
  • Premium feel — looks more high-end than plain gloss white
  • Fingerprint-friendlier than plain gloss — sparkle disguises small marks
  • Class 1 fire-rated — safe behind hobs (observe appliance clearance)

Use cases

Kitchen splashback (most common)

10mm fire-rated splashback panel between worktop and wall units. The sparkle reads as a designed feature and dramatically uplifts standard white-cabinet kitchens. Buy splashback variant.

Bathroom feature wall

Single feature wall in White Sparkle behind a freestanding bath or vanity. Pair with chrome or brushed-nickel fixtures.

Cloakroom statement wall

Compact spaces benefit most — the reflective sparkle makes a tiny WC feel more open.

Design pairings

  • Cabinets: Navy blue (high-contrast luxe), grey shaker (timeless), white (full-light kitchen)
  • Worktops: White or grey quartz, marble effect, dark granite
  • Fixtures: Chrome or brushed nickel — brass clashes with the cool sparkle
  • Lighting: Under-cabinet LED amplifies the sparkle effect

Behind hobs: fire safety

10mm White Sparkle is Class 1 fire-rated to BS 476-7 — safe behind hobs in residential UK use. Always observe your appliance manufacturer's clearance recommendation (typically 50–100mm). For commercial use, get a fire-safety review. Read the UK fire-rating guide.

Install

Standard 10mm install. Splashback typically completes in 1–3 hours. Full install guide.

FAQs

Will the sparkle fade?
The sparkle particles are embedded in the PVC, not surface-applied. They don't fade or wear off.

Will hot pans damage it?
Don't rest hot pans directly against any wall surface. Standard kitchen radiated heat is fine.

Does the sparkle look tacky in person?
No — it's subtle. The sparkle reads as 'depth' rather than 'glitter' in normal lighting. Order a sample to see for yourself.

Can I cut it around a plug socket?
Yes — mark the position, cut with a jigsaw. Cover with a faceplate.

Is it food-safe?
PVC is non-porous, doesn't absorb food residue, hygienic for kitchen use.
