Glass Backsplash
in Vaughan.

Every Vaughan backsplash is measured by owner and master glazier Bojan Stojic and installed by our own crew, with no subcontractors. For the complete service overview, visit our main glass backsplash page.

Woodbridge, Kleinburg and Maple

In Woodbridge we work in the established homes along Islington Avenue, Pine Valley Drive and Weston Downs, in Islington Woods, and in the family residences of Sonoma Heights and Vellore Village, as well as around Market Lane and Old Woodbridge. Kleinburg ranges from heritage properties in Kleinburg Village to custom estates along Nashville Road, Islington Avenue Estates and Copper Creek. Maple mixes heritage homes, modern estates and townhomes. The kitchens differ, but the method does not: measure, written quote, template, fabricate, install.

White stone, white cabinets, low-iron glass

When a Vaughan kitchen is built around white or light stone, such as Carrara or Calacatta marble, ordinary clear glass over white paint adds a green cast next to that stone, most visible along the edges. Low-iron glass removes most of the iron that causes it, so a white or ivory backsplash stays white against the stone and the cabinetry. If the colour is pale, we recommend low-iron glass as the base for the back-painted panel.

Joints on long runs

When a custom kitchen has a long backsplash wall, that wall is made from more than one panel. Where the joints go is a design decision, so we make it before ordering: at an inside corner, against a window or tall cabinet, or on a line that continues a cabinet edge. Every back-painted panel on the same wall is produced in one batch, so the colour does not shift from one panel to the next.

Back-painted colour or mirror

Back-painted glass gives a deep, even colour with the gloss of glass, and it lets the countertop and the cabinetry carry the design. Mirror turns the backsplash into a light source, reflecting windows and pendant lighting back into the room, but it also reflects the counter and shows water spots and fingerprints faster. In a kitchen with a busy stone pattern, a calm colour usually works better than a reflection of that pattern.

Custom builds: plan the outlets early

On a new custom home, the best time to talk to us is before the electrician sets the boxes on the backsplash wall. Outlets and switches need cutouts in the glass, and if the panel is tempered those openings are made before tempering, because tempered glass cannot be cut afterwards. Placing the boxes with the glass layout in mind avoids a cutout landing on a joint. We then template after the countertops are installed, with the boxes in their final positions.

Behind the range

The panel behind a range or cooktop is tempered safety glass to CAN/CGSB-12.1. Clearances around the cooking surface and below the hood are set by the appliance and hood installation instructions, so we work from the model numbers your builder or kitchen supplier provides, not from an assumption.
