Assembling a kitchen rear panel
Assembling a kitchen back panel: this is how to neatly fit our self-adhesive back panel
If you want to mount a kitchen back wall without glue, without drilling and without tools, our self-adhesive kitchen back wall is made for exactly that. You can assemble the kitchen back wall by measuring it, cutting it to size and then simply applying it and pressing it on firmly. For quick results, find matching designs in our collection of kitchen backsplashes and you can immediately plan what your new back wall should look like. Our back wall is 2.6 mm thick, water-repellent, UV-resistant and PVC-free. It is particularly practical as splash protection on the tile wall above the worktop, as it is easy to clean and adheres reliably to tiles, plaster and painted walls.
Preparation: measuring, checking the substrate and clearing the tiles or wall of dust and grease
Before you start assembling, carefully measure the space between the kitchen worktop, the kitchen cabinets and possibly the extractor fan. Use a folding rule or tape measure to do this and check that your kitchen back wall fits, especially in a corner where a tight transition is important. The surface should be dust- and grease-free so that the backing of the kitchen wall adheres optimally, whether you want to mount on old tiles, plaster or a painted kitchen wall. Also remove loose dirt, grease splatters and anything that might interfere with the adhesion, as this will ensure that the panel is firmly in place and the kitchen back wall installation will look perfect in the end.
Cutting kitchen backsplashes to size: simply mark out and cut with a Stanley knife
Our kitchen backsplashes are easy to cut to size, preferably with a Stanley knife. Draw the dimensions accurately and go over the cutting line several times until the panel can be neatly broken or cut through.
It is important that you protect the front, work precisely and check the cut edges afterwards, so that the kitchen back wall fits tightly to the worktop or to finish strips.
For cut-outs at socket outlets or switches, first mark the positions precisely so that everything fits together nicely later. Then you can carefully incise the area with the stanley knife and cut out step by step. If necessary, you can then smooth the edges with fine sandpaper for a sleek result.
Fitting a kitchen back wall: remove foil and press firmly in place
The installation of our kitchen backsplash has deliberately been kept simple, because you don't need a caulking gun, mounting kit or hot melt glue.
First dry fit the new kitchen back wall, check the connection to the worktop and make sure the back wall evenly covers the tile wall. Then gradually peel off the protective film, place the back wall and press it firmly step by step from the inside to the outside.
This way you attach the kitchen back wall without drilling and get a smooth glass-look surface that protects well against water, grease and cooking splashes. Need to remove the wall later? Then this is usually much easier than with glued solutions, because you don't have to loosen any glue residue.
Care and daily use: clean well and avoid discolouration
To keep your kitchen backsplash beautiful for a long time, a soft cloth and a mild detergent is usually sufficient. The surface is water-repellent and easy to clean.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents and abrasive materials to preserve the glass look and prevent dulling. Strong-coloured food residues such as tomato sauce or curry are best removed immediately to avoid discolouration, especially if the back wall catches a lot of splashes.
Still unsure about the right design? Then get inspired with different styles, from quiet to striking. This way, a practical kitchen back wall also becomes a real eye-catcher, without having to install tiles or renew joints.

Yes, the kitchen back wall adheres well to tiles, including old tiles, as long as the surface is smooth, clean and free of dust and grease. It is important to clean the surface thoroughly first and remove any loose residue to ensure the back wall lasts a long time.
No, you do not need any glue or mounting adhesive, as the back of the kitchen backsplash is self-adhesive. You may want to use silicone as a seal for the transition to the worktop.
Accurately mark the positions of the sockets and saw out the recess slowly and in a controlled manner. For round openings, a hole saw can be useful; afterwards, if necessary, you can lightly smooth the edges with fine sandpaper.
Clean the kitchen backsplash with a soft cloth and mild detergent to keep the surface beautiful. Do not use abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals and remove stain-causing residues such as curry or tomato sauce as soon as possible.
