Case Study 1 :

‘Waterfall’ bespoke glass : Splash back for a contemporary kitchen.

The clients for this project really loved the effect of my textured glass and commissioned me to fill this 3 + metre long space with my ‘Waterfall’ texture. The texture is cast into the back of the glass and mounted against the wall leaving the smooth surface on the face.

The sleek lines of their Sie Matic kitchen work so well with the calmness of the glass. The light green tint of this bespoke glass comes alive when light hits the texture..

As the glass was fitted behind a sink area, it happily sat directly onto the worktop as heat was not going to be an issue. (Behind a cooker I recommend the glass sits on an upstand).

The integrated lighting strip in the shelving made the top shorter section of glass become quite vibrant as the light passed through it. This added a wonderful variation to the two areas.

Due to the width of glass needed, the splash back had to be made in 2 parts. (The maximum size of glass I can create in one piece is 2 metres). I joined the glass behind the tap to give a defined, purposeful line.

“A simple but effective glass, easy to live with and with longevity”.

This glass type is available as a standard texture and a sample piece can be ordered through the ‘shop’ section of this website.

It is available in light green, crystal clear, grey and bronze.
