j.bautsch17 Oct 2016 12:46The Green Forum is the construction experts forum (it just has a green design and many architects participate there). A breakout group from the Green Forum is the Experts Forum Construction (they separated from the Green Forum after some issues with advertisements, etc. Everyone has to decide for themselves what they think about that 😉 )

How do you and everyone else (in the past) always come up with the idea that a kitchen island, designed with countertop space behind the cooking area, would cause grease splatters to end up on the floor behind it?This is based on experiences from people I know who, shortly after installing such islands, started looking for ways to add a splash guard. However, it definitely depends on the depth of the island and what one means by "frying." In my experience, there are quite a few differences 🙂
We ourselves are not fans of islands and are currently planning an open kitchen with a galley layout and a half-height wall.

We ourselves are not fans of islands and are currently planning an open kitchen with a double-row layout and a half-height wall.One might think these people had never cooked or fried before, but only started once they had the island 😉
But everyone has their own perception.
Of course, splashing happens, but it doesn’t splash twice as far to the back as it does to the sides.
You can estimate how far it splashes to the sides yourselves; do you know how far it splashes to the back (measured from the edge of the pan)?
