Hello,
We are now working on the planning of our kitchen backsplash.
We are choosing a granite slab with an approximately 2cm (0.8 inch) high splash guard.
Above the splash guard, the wall will be finished with a Q2 level skim coat, and we want to install a decorative kitchen backsplash there to protect the wall from stains.
It is important that the backsplash is easy to maintain and can be wiped clean of grease splashes, for example.
Which material would you recommend for this backsplash?
We were considering a self-adhesive film with a design.

The problem with glass is that you have to make cutouts for multiple electrical outlets.Then unfortunately it wasn’t planned properly. Is the panel supposed to be placed not only behind the cooktop / under the range hood, but along the entire run?
We have a 90 cm (35 inch) glass panel, outlets are 0.5 m (20 inch) and 1 m (40 inch) apart.
Try sketching the situation.

Then unfortunately, the planning was not done properly.We only took the measurements once everything was in place. Actual measurements are better than those from the plans.hampshire schrieb:

That's why I asked about the size of the panel (3 m (10 feet) across the entire row?). Of course, you only measure once everything is permanently installed.We have a U-shaped kitchen and want to install a kitchen backsplash about 60 cm (24 inches) high all around, with patterns to improve the overall appearance.
Only cutouts for windows and sockets need to be made.
Do you have any experience with self-adhesive kitchen backsplash films? This could be a good budget solution.
How do we attach a glass backsplash? Is the glass glued on?

That's why I asked about the dimensions of the panel. (3 m (10 ft) across the entire length?).Yes, approximately 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in) wide and from the countertop down to the bottom edge of the base cabinet.So a granite slab combined with self-adhesive film on the wall... I don’t think those go well together.
When choosing patterns, it’s always worth considering whether these are designs you’ll still like in the long term.
A material that is easy to work with would be niche backsplash panels from the kitchen manufacturer. Cutouts for power outlets and adjustments for windows can be made easily. You can, for example, stay within the color range of the cabinet fronts. Then, decoration and variation can come from accessories, colorful small appliances, pictures, and so on, especially in areas without wall cabinets.
