An important aspect to consider when choosing a glass kitchen backsplash is the heat resistance of the glass. It is crucial that your chosen glass kitchen backsplash can withstand the heat generated by cooking appliances such as the stove, oven or grill. The last thing you want is for your beautiful new glass kitchen backsplash to crack or discolor due to heat.
Therefore, it is recommended that you choose heat-resistant glass, also known as tempered glass, for your kitchen backsplash. This type of glass is reinforced by a special heat process to make it up to five times stronger than regular glass. It can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius without cracking, bending or discoloring.
In addition, tempered glass is particularly safe. If it does break unexpectedly, it disintegrates into small granular pieces instead of sharp shards. This significantly reduces the risk of injury.
Another advantage of heat-resistant glass is that it is extremely durable and long-lasting. It is also easy to clean, which is a big plus in the kitchen where splashes and spills are a common problem.
