Picking the right material for your splashback can be overwhelming. So we've come up with 7 great splashback materials to consider for your kitchen...

Polished concrete is a sleek and unique material to use for your splashback. It's easy to install and works well in outdoor kitchens. Polished concrete can also be coloured which allows for a bit more variety. Unlike stainless steel and glass, concrete doesn't show marks easily which means it's low maintenance when it comes to cleaning.
2. Tiles/Mosaic
Tiles are highly resistant to chemicals and tend to suit a range of styles and budgets.

If you have the budget for it and want to bring some creativity to your kitchen you can use mosaic tiles.
