Kitchen Worktops Cheam
A stone splashback can be a quiet backdrop or a feature in its own right.
Draw the wall face as well as the plan
A worktop plan alone does not explain a wall panel or shelf. Add an elevation showing the upper cupboards, sockets, tap, cooker and any proposed shelf line. The oak kitchen in our portfolio shows veined stone against timber cabinetry, with a shelf above the wall surface.
Be specific about the shelf support
A shelf needs an agreed support arrangement appropriate to its material, size and intended use. Tell us whether your builder or kitchen maker is supplying that support and how it relates to the wall preparation. Avoid treating a photograph as a construction detail.
Find your surface
Compare finishes, thicknesses and care requirements.
Can a stone shelf simply sit on the splashback?
Do not assume that arrangement is suitable. The shelf, wall and fixings need a properly agreed support detail for the chosen material and intended load. Share the design with your builder and the workshop so the stone pieces and surrounding construction can be coordinated before manufacture.
