A gas hob also requires plenty of space on either side. This means deciding exactly where the splashback is going to be by accurately recording where the cupboards, cooker hoods, sockets and switches are going to be fitted. You can fit your splashback in one of two ways. If you elect to secure your splashback with screw fixings, then ensure that the appropriate holes are drilled before the glass is tempered.
You should also be careful not to over-tighten the screws, as doing so will risk damaging the glass, which could cause it to crack later down the line. Using adhesive fixings is more straightforward. There is no need to drill any holes, and there will be no visible fixings. Simply apply the silicone based glue to the rear of the splashback and support it against the wall until the adhesive dries.
