MYTHS ABOUT GLASS COLOURS

Myth 1: My Selected Colour Will Look Different Behind the Glass.

Many glass producers use iron in their productions. The problem with iron is how it can react with many paints and colours. 

In regular “clear” glass, the iron content creates a greenish tint, which is fine when using darker colours or bright colours. 

That’s why if you are choosing your own neutral colour or would prefer a white or neutral finish premium manufacturers, like Escape Glass, will always use low-iron glass for higher quality and more accurate colouring.

Features of low-iron glass include better:

• Transparency
• Light transmission
• Brightness and
• Colour restitution.

In fact, low-iron glass improves transparency by 4-5% over regular clear glass.

This means that your selected colour will show through the glass with the utmost clarity.

Myth 2: Flat and slumped Glass Splashbacks Only Work with Solid Colours.

While a solid paint colour is certainly a great option, it is by no means the only option. When most people think of a solid colour splashback, they envision the paint with a standard finish.

Designers often pick this finish type to pair with wall colours, cabinetry, finishings and/or furniture to create a solid, eye-catching focal point in the space, think of it like a feature wall.

Thanks to cutting-edge glazing techniques, however, you can apply paints with other finish types to incorporate elements of depth and movement as well such as a metallic finish. Metallics, for instance, pair well with modern stainless-steel appliances. It is one of the most popular glass splashback colour finishes we provide. A pearled or sparkled finish helps create a textured effect where the colour will shimmer behind the glass, this works well on low iron glass when painted white.

For an emphasis on colour movement, consider textured or slumped glass over a flat coated panel. Learn more about Slumped glass here.

Different textures, from straight lines or clean geometrical patterns, to more natural patterns like waves, swirls or a seemingly random design, result in an attractive, interesting visual element, creating another dimension to an interior space.

Myth 3: The Selected Colour Might Lose Its Appeal Over Time

Over the decades, kitchens have seen a number trends come and go. In recent years, kitchen designers have favoured concepts based on the indoor-outdoor theme, open floor plans, brightness, texture and the strong use of raw materials.

These design elements explain why glass splashbacks for kitchens have become so popular, as well as their low maintenance draw card. Installing this feature helps accent all of them.

Yet there is always going to be some risk. No one wants to opt for a painted glass splashback behind the cooktop and then discover the colour has gone out of style.

Luckily, you can take steps to ensure the splashback — and the kitchen as a whole — achieves timeless style.

For instance, selecting a neutral colour such as a light shade of grey or an off-white emphasises the reflective quality of the glass while blending into neutrals, whites and earth tones of the other kitchen elements.

Or a vibrant blue or believe it or not even a pink glass splashback combined with whites and greys can accentuate any kitchen.

Looking for an earthier kitchen feel?
Combining a dark grey glass splashback paint colour in the kitchen with matching cabinets enables you to emphasise raw material elements such as light wood flooring, stone countertops and wood accents.

Beyond evoking timeless themes, you can use the splashback to highlight specific details. The colour can match major features such as the benchtop, the appliances or the floors. Or take an even more creative approach and match to smaller details such as light fixtures or island seats.

One current popular trend is to match the colour of the glass splashback with the colour of the glass island kickstand panel. This pairing can bring a whole kitchen together.
