We're about to do an extension.

I'm opting to ignore all matters of style in favour of Easy Cleaning.

My perfect house is devoid of all nooks and crannies - as cleaning is not my forte...

So, am looking for glass splashbacks instead of tiles for the kitchen and the wetroom, and, in all likelihood - the bathroom.

Is there a name for the giant sheets of glass you fit in showers etc?

Not just glass tiles - the huge ones.

And, is there any drawback to having these glass thingies?

I hate grout. Or rather, all my grout looks rubbish because it's full of spag bal sauce and mould...

I went to a glazing company (they do windows, mirrors, double glazing, etc) and they cut, shape, polish, etc to order. You give them a RAL number for whichever colour you want then they do it all and fit it. I have an enormous mirrored bit in the bathroom (nowhere where you'd see yourself unexpectedly though!) and dark brown splashback and surround on a walnut vanity unit in a bedroom. We debated them for the kitchen but have got granite upstands so are trying with just paint first.
