What a glass splashback costs in Brisbane
A Brisbane glass splashback is reckoned on the wall area in square metres, the back-painted colour or printed finish, and the power-point cutouts, since the panel is a single toughened sheet behind the bench or cooktop. A small stock-colour panel sits at the low end and a long run, a metallic or printed finish, or several cutouts higher, so the area, the finish and the cutouts carry the Brisbane figure.
The subtropical love of indoor-outdoor kitchens makes a glass splashback popular in Brisbane for its easy-clean, grout-free surface, often extended to a servery window to the alfresco. The humid heat is no issue for the sealed glass. A classic Queenslander's kitchen renovation may fit it in a light, bright colour. The glass is templated, toughened and back-painted off-site then fixed in one piece. Behind a gas cooktop the glass keeps the required clearance or is rated for it, and a licensed electrician handles a power-point cutout. A glass splashback is fitted by a glazier or splashback installer, with a licensed electrician for any power-point work, in Queensland under the state regulator for any building side.
The panel is fitted by a glazier or splashback installer and is not a licensed building trade, so no building licence applies, while a licensed electrician disconnects any power point and a gas cooktop keeps its clearance, with building work licensed in Queensland under the state regulator. A Brisbane splashback prices from the area, the colour or finish, and the cutouts, favoured for the grout-free surface in the humid subtropical kitchen.
