ISPS would like to share with you some very important DIY tips to choosing your DIY
Polymer Splashback category. ISPS provide value and DIY interior tips as a part of our
service.
Before you buy any product enquire how long the company has been trading? Is the
company your dealing with using copycat tactics from other websites to lure you in. Do they
state they use the highest grade Acrylic and piggy back off the manufactures credibility, yet
lack to explain how their coating conform, bonds and weathers with the material.
This image to the right clearly shows you what
happens to "painted or sprayed sheets when not
properly processed. A shop fitters nightmare. As a
consumer it can hurt your pocket and cause distress.
So check warranties & testimonials are worthy?
Check that the structural warranty cover defects,
coatings delaminating, UV warranties?
Are you choosing the right splashback category for your intended environment application? Do you
require to prep walls prior to install & do their products leave a ripple effect after placement because
of the quality of the material?
Are the install instructions simplified?
Are you being provided Australian standard compliant information for the intended use of your
application?
Does the supplier hide hidden disclaimers regarding the application of their product and process of
their products? All very important questions before you make your decision..
Tip 2: What grade of material do you require for your DIY project?
Do you require Acrylic Splashbacks for your project or the original DIY High Heat Polymer Splashback
Bonethane? Available in any colour, metallic, Abstract EFX & DigitalArt with GripTek backing.
- SOME HISTORY: Bonethane as seen on Better Homes and Gardens is a high heat polymer
that cuts, drills, planes without the hassle of cracking or splitting, deals with heat better than
all acrylics in the market place and is a great insulator for electro static, great for
hospitals, clinical laboratories, commercial and domestic kitchens, shop fit-outs, showers,
bathrooms, outdoors and has been servicing the DIY & commercial industry since early 2000
and is trusted & accredited through our working history.
- Put simply Bonethane is 200 times stronger than Acrylic & Glass.
- Acrylic is only 17 times stronger than glass.
Tip 3 Budget, Warranty Affordability
Pick a budget & choose a substrate that appeals to you. With so many beautiful products to choose
from, it should really come down to what you are prepared to pay and what you can get for your
money keeping safety in mind. Once you have made this decision you can address the next stage.
Function and colour are key requirements, with the vast categories available there is an impressive
range to suit each person. Once you have narrowed your choice to budget you need to look at
durability and the warranties it covers. When you make your choice on your Splashback it is
important to factor in the warranty and any disclaimers. It may mean you need to spend a little bit
more to get the utmost use and longevity for your splash space.

IPA Acrylic is a wonderful product and serves its
purpose in the right environment. So choose your
splashback & wall panel reflecting your needs of longevity
in its climatic weathering environment. If

Tip 4 Colour choice
- Colour Choice. Before you choose your coloured splashback you need to take a step back
and look at the total area you are working with. Most companies will offer a standard set
colour range with each category, whilst other companies offer unlimited colour range effects
and digitally printed processes with protective backings.
- When choosing your splashback, consider the colours of your walls, kitchen doors, bench
space and most importantly the level of light in the space you are working with.

Tip 7: Joins, where should they go?
- Joins in a splashbacks. Question where your joins appear. You should create joins in areas
where other seams appear this keeps the look symmetrical. These areas can be dressed with
joining strips to create a uniformed finish. Other visually rewarding looks are the custom
filler EFX as seen below. ISPS designs our filler EFX™ based on the colour of your project.
These fillers are designed to run through the course of the sheet, vertically or horizontally
capturing the colour palette. Because they are uniformed to blend with your splashback &
appliance colour choice it creates a platform for continuous length & unvarying finishes.

Tip 8: Cooktop. What do I place behind my cooktop?
Always be aware of what to place behind your cook-top. Acrylic is not suitable behind any cooktop,
see our youtube clip Bonethane Premium VS Acrylic candle burn test. It is an eye opener & not to be
missed https://youtu.be/icl9VoH0_Vs .

While Toughened glass Inserts, Stainless steel or tiles can be
an attractive alternative for behind your cook-top area, it is still important to coordinate the colour
scheme for your cook-top or appliance colours in your choice of insert colour application. For more
information call ISPS Innovations on 08 8381 8880
