Glass Splashbacks - DIY vs Professional Installation

19/10/2024

Glass splashbacks are the ultimate sleek, modern, functional material – perfect if you are upgrading your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry. The surface is extremely easy to clean, durable and panels can be customised to fit your space perfectly. But should you opt for a professional installation or install glass splashbacks yourself? At Ultimate Glass Splashbacks Melbourne, our customers can select to have our own professional experienced team of glaziers conduct a site measure and installation or our customers are welcome to provide their own measurements for a “supply only” order.  Either option comes with pros and cons.

Supply Only Orders

If you are able to measure correctly and install glass splashbacks yourself, there are many reasons you may consider going the DIY route:

  1. Cost Savings - one of the biggest reasons homeowners opt to place a supply only order is to save money. Decreasing your labour costs, you can then put more funds towards other materials in your renovation.
  2. Timing Flexibility - taking on DIY projects allows you the flexibility to work at your own pace. This frees up time to juggle other commitments and allows you to spread out the work over several days or weekends. 

However, DIY installation also comes with challenges that you should be aware of. Measuring glass splashbacks requires an understanding of how glass is cut and ensuring absolute precise measurements are taken. If measurements are not exact, you could end up with unsightly gaps or uneven placement of panels. If glass splashbacks need to be re-ordered, this could end up costing you more than having it professionally installed in the first instance. Further, glass is a fragile and requires an understanding of how to handle it to avoid scratches and breakage. Proper installation also require the right tools and supply only orders are not covered by a warranty.

Why Professional Installation Might Be Worth It

Installation by our experienced team appeals to the vast majority of our customers as it comes with peace of mind. Here are a few reasons to consider having a measure and installation included in your order:

  1. Precision & Expertise - our installers all have years of  experience working with glass, ensuring accurate measurements and flawless installation. They know the common pitfalls and how to avoid them, ensuring your splashback fits perfectly and enhances the look of your space.
  2. The Right Tools - our glaziers come equipped with specialised tools and materials that make the installation process smoother and more efficient. You won’t have to worry about sourcing adhesives, sealants, or other necessary items.
  3. Time Benefits - our team can generally complete a standard measure in under 15 minutes and an installation in under 30 minutes. This saves you time and effort!
  4. 10 Year Warranty Provided - Ultimate Glass Splashbacks provides a 10 year warranty on toughened glass splashback products. For more details regarding this warranty, please contact our office on (03) 9026 1390.
