Splashback Solutions by Bushboard

Alloy by Bushboard is being hailed as the new must-have kitchen splashback solution following its explosive launch in June, which saw more than 500 stockists including independent retailers and a selection of merchants place displays in their stores in the product’s launch month alone, with continued uptake and popularity expected to continue for the coming months.
The one-of-a-kind splashback solution by surfaces industry leader Bushboard, is a collection of 100% fire-safe and heat-proof aluminium splashback panels, available in twelve unique and decorative designs. Alloy’s splashback panels are a no-fuss, on trend alternative to tiles that are fire retardant, waterproof, scratch resistant and easy to fit and are proving to be a popular choice with consumers and installers alike.
The company sate that what sets Alloy apart, is its flexibility of application, offering three different panel sizes that can be used throughout the kitchen, from singular hob panels that offer a more stylish alternative to an aluminium upstand through to high-rise panels that can span the entire width of the kitchen wall-to-wall for a completely uninterrupted design.
With fire-proof and heat-proof aluminium composition that meets European standards for fire safety in the home, Alloy can achieve what many other decorative materials such as wood and acrylic cannot: it can be safely placed directly behind the kitchen sink and even behind the hob and ‘hot zone’ with no additional safety measures needed. With many other standard decorative wall surfaces which do not offer heat- or fire- retardant qualities, a glass cover or aluminium upstand is required in areas where cooking takes place. As the kitchen transitions into becoming a “lived-in” space rather than purely a functional area, consumers are turning towards more design-led surfaces and features in their kitchens and shying away from practical features that are less aesthetically pleasing. Alloy combines safety and style into one convenient solution so that neither has to be compromised.
Tiles have long been the nation’s go to splashback surface solution due to their diverse range of colours, patterns and designs. However, tiling is a lengthy process for kitchen fitters and installers, and the hefty maintenance involved in preserving grout is a real pain point for consumers, and so there has long been demand for a fuss-free alternative. Alloy splashback panels offer an easy-fit solution in a unique and eclectic range of decors that is suitable across contract, residential, commercial, and other kitchen project applications.
Straightforward to install and maintain, Alloy allows for various installation methods to ensure the desired look is achieved, whether it’s installing an on-trend look with a hob panel only for a quick kitchen transformation that packs a punch, or by joining panels together to create a wall-to-wall splashback as a part of a full new kitchen installation. Alloy designs are available in a regular rise, mid-rise and high-rise height, making it easy to tailor the products to suit the dimensions of the space. Installation couldn’t be simpler - just cut the panels to the required shape and size with a circular saw and install using Complete Adhesive and a variety of Alloy profile trims.
