Matching worktops and splashback panels

[PureBlackVoid]

I love the look of this, and the practicality of having no grout to clean but I’m wondering how they fit around corners, any boxed in pipes, what the edges are like.

On displays and online you typically see them on a flat wall, where there is a tall kitchen unit either end so the trims (?), any sealants on the end of the panel etc don’t show. I’m wondering if they look as good on a ‘real’ non-showroom kitchen or if they just wouldn’t be suitable.

Mine is a galley kitchen, but some corners to go around on one end, and potentially some cables and pipework will be boxed in leading from a wall unit down to the worktop (I am going to see if it can be chased into the wall instead, but if boxed it will be very slim, not protruding too much).

Also, one side of the galley will be open ended, so the end of the splash back panel will be visible (and one of the first things you see as you walk in)

Hope that all makes sense. If you have these, pics would really be appreciated

I have this, OP, and the top and sides of the splashback panels are edged in stainless steel, so it’s tidy and waterproof. The edging matches the steel cooker hood over the hob.
I didn’t want wall tiles to clash with the floor tiles, and was struggling with choices, until the kitchen designer told me that this option existed.
I’m very pleased with the result, and it’s a doddle to keep clean - quick wipe with a damp cloth, no dirty grout lines. It provides a much more uniform look, and I simply painted the walls above the splashbacks in a warm pale peach shade. The floor is pale terracotta quarry tiles, and the units pale cream, almost white. The worktops and splashbacks are laminate, patterned to look like a brownish granite. It all pulls together as a peaches and cream palette.

We've just added upstands to our worktops and it looks great, finishes it really nicely.

Sounds good Babdoc, yes another reason for preferring it is it saves the headache of picking tiles that won’t clash with worktop (having a light marble worktop and it I know it will take me an age to find tiles that are just the right pattern and shade!)

I prefer a higher splashback to upstands, just because paint would be too plain for me. I’m going for wood floor and gloss units, so it will be fairly plain and I’d like the middle section to be a bit of a feature.

We are having ours fitted next week, and have gone for upstands all the way round apart from behind the hob, where we have a piece of worktop as a splashback. Also love the look of the high splashback but cost was an issue for us!

Hi, I am in the exact same dilemma and wondering if you went ahead with this and how did it turn out? Oir kitchens sound very similar!@PureBlackVoid

@Sundaycoffee Hi, no I didn’t in the end! The one I picked with matching splashbacks had been discontinued 🙄 and I wasn’t keen on the plain glass ones with light gloss units (though I think they are nice with darker kitchens) in the end I went for metro tiles with slightly varied shades/marble patterns so it wasn’t too plain.
