    NOT a metro splashback.

    This is a kitchen splashback that Gary did with me in Hoxton East London. 2400 X 800 x 6mm porcelain from the casadolcecasa magnum range, Calacatta. No joints except for the corners, definitely something that could catch on I believe.

Do you guys scribe in to minimise this...
