FAQs

Absolutely, we love to have visitors at the Studio. Just give us a call or get in touch via our contact page and we can arrange a time that suits your schedule to have a cuppa and a chat about your ideas. We would also suggest bringing along things like images, colour swatches, tiles and fabrics with you to help develop some exciting ideas.

Now there’s a challenge. Every design really is individual, to you and to us. We will work in partnership with you to visualise your final design; the layout, the colours, the shape and the techniques used. If we feel it is necessary, we will also prepare a small sample to ensure you are happy too. We care about every design we create and want it to make you smile every time you see it. Each design really is distinctive to every client and it is a real piece of art that makes an incredible impact.

We use a wide range of different glass types and colours. Having this range is what enables us to consider the colours, design process and techniques we would use for your design. We can also manipulate colours too to expand a possible palette. It is also one of the advantages of coming to the studio to see the colours first hand; and as we mention above we can also prepare a small sample to ensure you are happy with the colours and design.

Glass is an ideal material for kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, wet rooms and even outdoors. You can use it for glass wall art, splashbacks and even glass tiles – so it is extremely versatile and able to withstand environments where other materials wouldn’t survive.

We are able to produce one individual piece to a size of 2 metres x 1 metre. However that has never stopped us producing larger commissions. It just means working in sections, which becomes part of the design stage, and the sections are then installed together across the area.

When it comes to cut-outs, for sockets or cooker hoods, across the splashback it would be our recommendation to have them cut by water-jet as part of our service. This would all get included in the costings.

Every splashback is individual and made-to-order for you, so there are never standard sizes. Most of the time measurements are provided to us as the fit is easy and clear. If it is a little more specific you can create a template. It is always worth taking several measurements as walls and fittings are not always true. If it is feasible, we are always happy to come and measure up in your home.

We would suggest using a strong silicon adhesive, which we can supply with your splashback if you wish. We will happily help you with advice. Many clients have fitted themselves. You can use your own kitchen fitter/tiler who is be able to do it as part of your overall project. If feasible we are able to install for you.

Glass splashbacks have been used to stunning effect behind cookers, hobs and Aga’s. Many give a guideline of 10cm from the heat source (less if induction); an upstand for the splashback is also great for distance too. If you are unsure, just give us a call and we can look at a picture and give you some advice.

Being glass it is very easy to keep clean. A regular glass cleaner or a little soap, warm water and sponge and you’re ready to go. Definitely avoid any abrasives though – you don’t want to scratch your beautiful glass after all.

This would be arranged through a specialist carrier or alternatively by our own service if it is appropriate. Either way it can be worked out as part of the quotation process. If you are local, then the options are to pick-up from our Studio or local delivery to you.

That is a really hard one to answer (I know, sorry). Everything is dependent on so many variables: size, techniques used, glass colours involved and the range of firings required, cut-outs, delivery etc.. However, all of these are what makes your splashback design unique. The best way is to get in touch (tel: 07980 765753; or via our contact page) and we can begin the exciting process of putting together your own unique glass art design that is also a functional glass splashback and will inevitably become a focal element within your kitchen.

We have tried to cover the main questions we are often asked. If we have missed anything, please do get in touch with us by phone, email or through our contact page and we will always do the best we can for you.

A personally designed glass splashback is not only very special for you, it is for us too. It is genuinely exciting every time to design and create each piece. And we see the ‘before’ and ‘after’ and it is always incredible what an impact the art glass splashback makes. We look forward to chatting with you.

Now there’s a challenge. Every design really is individual, to you, your garden and to us. We will work in partnership with you to visualise your final design; the layout, position in the garden, the colours, the shape, use of materials and the techniques used.

Each design really is distinctive to every client and it is a real piece of “Art in the Garden” that makes an incredible impact.

Glass is used for windows, green houses and other outside buildings and is none the worse for this. Our sculptures will be the same but for added safety we can also get the glass laminated by a specialist. Glass is extremely versatile and able to withstand environments where other materials may fade. Glass will keep its characteristics of colour, texture, and fascination for a very long time.

No. This is one of the beauties of using glass over other materials used. The colours stay strong and vibrant and will stand out in your garden for many years to come.

This is mostly dependent on the size and design of the sculpture and can be independent for each style. Our smaller sculptures will often be made with three or four 15cm spikes that push securely into the ground (the beauty of this is you can move your piece around during the garden seasons creating colour in different areas of the garden). Larger sculpture pieces can be cemented into the final position or bolted onto a pre-made base. All decisions will be made in consultation with you.

Being glass it is very easy to keep clean. A regular glass cleaner or a little soap, warm water and sponge and you’re ready to go. Definitely avoid any abrasives though – you don’t want to scratch your beautiful glass after all. We have had some of our glass creations in the garden over months and years and not had to clean them.
