Glass splashback from Topps

[Aspect Tiling]

Has anyone any experince in fixing these and the upstands. Been asked to quote but unsure on acouple of things. I presume I'll need a glass cutting disk for my wet cutter when I come to cutting the upstands. Any reccomendations on adhessive most welcome.

Cheers
Pete

Not sure about the addy, but do you not take the sizes to Topps and they cut to suit?

Check with the supplier on what they recommend for fixing, any problems it's down to them

As far as I'm aware there are about 3 different sizes of splashback to suit most hob sizes. The upstands come in 1m lenghts. Don't mind being proved wrong though.

Are they clear or coloured? if coloured has it got a coloured film backing or is the glass its self coloured?

 

[Aspect Tiling]

I've not seen them first hand but I'm pretty sure that the glass is coloured.

If its the ones im thinkin off then they have coloured backing, bal white star t fix them and i cut them in my rubi. Wet cutter for any shaping, sockets etc.

On a splash back centre piece..?..how will it dry..and what if it reacts with the backing..

That's why I was asking what type of glass it was Dave as sometimes the mirror adhesive can show through on some types. You should be alright as long as it is laminated and not clear

 

[DHTiling]

These type of splash backs don't have painted backs...like some tiles do...as they are toughend glass as well....so mirror mate is fine....other wise you would need epoxy to fix.

Had some glass borders where the silicone burnt thru (recommended by company)and replaced, paid for by the company

You don't want to knocking of glass after it's been fixed

I've never used these off the shelf ones, i've always had them made up by glaziers. I've only seen these 1m lengths pop up in the last six months, so never taken a close look

Silicone can bleed through..it's the acetate in it..mirror mate is nuetral curing so doesn't..

Cheers for your replies guys. I'll have to check on the exact type of glass and suppliers fixing reccomendations so I get it right. Hopefully be able to use the mirror mate. Nice simple job fingers crossed.
