What a glass splashback costs in Hobart
A Hobart glass splashback is reckoned on the square metres it covers, the back-painted colour or printed finish, and the number of power-point cutouts, since the panel is one toughened sheet behind the bench or cooktop. A small stock-colour panel is the low end and a long run, a metallic or custom-printed finish, or several cutouts the higher, so the area, the finish and the cutouts carry the Hobart figure.
Hobart's cool climate and lower light make a light, reflective glass splashback colour a good way to brighten a kitchen, and its seamless, easy-clean surface suits a modern renovation. The cold, damp climate is no issue for the sealed glass, which resists the condensation that marks a grouted tile. A colonial or weatherboard home's new kitchen can pair with a clean glass panel. Behind a gas cooktop the glass keeps the required clearance, and a licensed electrician handles a power-point cutout. Island freight can add to a specialty printed panel. A glass splashback is fitted by a glazier or splashback installer, with a licensed electrician for any power-point work, in Tasmania under the state regulator for any building side.
Fitting the panel is a glazier's or splashback installer's job, not a licensed building trade, so no building licence applies, while a licensed electrician handles any power-point disconnection and a gas cooktop keeps its clearance, in Tasmania under the state regulator. A Hobart splashback prices from the area, the colour or finish, and the cutouts, with a light reflective colour chosen to brighten a kitchen in the cool, lower-light climate.
