Kitchen will have hob in corner in new house. We not sure what to do, build fake wall for cooker hood and then tile / stainles steel /colour glass splashback it. Having a walnut kitchen with creamish worktop. I would like to keep kitchen modern by not tiling. Has anyone ideas or previous experience of behind corner hobs and along worktop ideas for splashback . What kind of costs for coloured glass etc ?

Hi Sandy76,

If you want to keep it modern then I think you should go for a glass splashback. You will need to build a false wall behind at an angle anyway and then using maybe a light blue glass splashback you will get a really lovely look. There is great value out there at the moment so you could look at having glass fitted the whole way around the kitchen or even do a 4 inch upstand with a higher splashback behind the hob.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck

Thanks so much. That sounds great. Would it be best sourcing this from kitchen suppliers or from actual glass companies ? Is it easy fitted or would it need a specialist fitter ?

Definitely talk to your kitchen supplier as they may have a glass supplier they use which would mean they will organise the supply and fitting of it for you. I would recommend using a professional fitter. You won't save much money by fitting it yourself.

You could try colourglass.ie. I just took a look on their site and there is an advert saying €99 supply only.
