A glass backsplash in the kitchen is more than a decorative element; it’s an engineered surface designed to protect walls, reflect natural light, and add architectural elegance. Unlike tile, stone, or laminate backsplashes that have grout lines and pores, a glass backsplash offers a seamless, hygienic surface that resists heat, moisture, and stains. For architects and builders seeking to deliver contemporary design and lasting performance, custom glass backsplashes offer a distinctive blend of aesthetics and functionality.
At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we tailor our glass kitchen backsplashes to meet the demands of modern construction—from specifying low‑iron glass and custom back‑painting to ensuring that installations comply with Canadian codes and appliance clearances.
Glass backsplashes come in numerous designs, colors, and finishes, so they easily complement modern or transitional kitchens. High-quality glass is scratch-resistant, non-porous, and heat-resistant; it doesn’t absorb grease or spills, and a simple wipe restores its shine.

Different kitchen types and architectural visions demand different glazing systems for their backsplashes. Selecting the correct option early in the design phase guarantees both compatibility and cost efficiency.
At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we offer premium frosted glass backsplashes featuring ultra-clear glass that has been installed with frosted glass on the rear surface. Achieved through acid etching or sand-blasting, frosted glass provides privacy while allowing light to pass through. It’s suitable for shower doors, partitions, or windows.
We offer a wide variety of glass tile and mosaic systems, providing flexibility in color, shape, and size. Our selection includes cast, fused, and low-temperature coated tiles. We specialize in large-format tiles and custom mosaics, including water-jet-cut shapes and laser-printed motifs, all designed to meet your unique aesthetic needs. Our products come with pre-mounted mesh backing for easy installation.
We provide high-quality mirror and reflective glass backsplashes that visually expand small kitchens and enhance light reflection. Our safety mirror backing ensures code compliance and prevents breakage, combining style with functionality. These glass options create a bright, spacious feel, perfect for any kitchen design.
We also offer a range of tinted or colored glass panels at Glass Project Solutions Ltd., available in shades like bronze, gray, and black. These panels not only hide wall imperfections but also add a subtle, sophisticated touch to your kitchen. The slight tint provides enhanced privacy while maintaining a stylish and modern aesthetic.
Glass Project Solutions Ltd. specializes in laminated glass, which bonds two layers of glass with a polymer interlayer for added safety and security. We offer custom laminated glass solutions, incorporating decorative elements like fabrics or metallic mesh. This durable and stylish option is ideal for areas where both safety and design matter.
We offer textured or patterned glass created through acid etching, sandblasting, and custom surface patterns. Our glass options provide diffusion and privacy while adding a unique aesthetic to your kitchen backsplashes. We can also incorporate ceramic frit patterns for subtle graphics or wayfinding, perfect for personalizing your space.

In other words, our ability to deliver on schedule, manage complex logistics, and ensure compliance is at the next level, which not only builders appreciate but also value our attention to detail and ability to translate design intent into fabricated glass. Both the architects and homeowners gain durable, beautiful backsplashes that elevate their kitchens and increase property value.
At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we use only low-iron float glass for our kitchen backsplashes. Standard float glass contains iron that causes a greenish tint, but our low-iron option removes this, giving unmatched clarity and ensuring that back-painted colors look exactly as intended. This is one of the key reasons clients choose us for premium backsplash installations.
We recommend the industry standard 1/4 in. (6 mm) thickness for most projects. For larger spans or seamless designs, we also provide 3/8 in. (10 mm) or 1/2 in. (12 mm) panels for added rigidity and durability. When installed behind stoves, our glass is tempered before painting to meet all safety requirements.
Our tempered glass is up to four times stronger than standard annealed glass, offering superior performance in heat zones. In fact, tempered glass is required by code when clearance to combustibles is under 305 mm (12 in.). For non-heat-exposed areas, annealed glass provides a cost-effective option.
For clients who prioritize safety and sound insulation, we also provide laminated glass. Using multiple layers bonded with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers, laminated glass holds shards together if broken, making it safer while also allowing for decorative colored or printed interlayers. Though heavier and more costly, laminated glass is ideal for high-end projects where both style and safety matter.
At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we follow strict standards to ensure your backsplash not only looks flawless but also performs safely and reliably for years to come.
We begin with a flat, stable substrate—typically drywall, cement backer board, or painted plaster. Walls are checked to be plumb and free from deflection so each glass panel sits perfectly flush. For installations behind stoves, we make sure the wall assembly is non-combustible or protected with non-combustible materials, always adhering to manufacturer safety requirements. For example, GE Monogram guidelines require at least 305 mm (12 in.) clearance from a cooktop to any combustible surface. If less clearance exists, we protect the full wall surface to maintain compliance.
Every project is measured using precision laser devices to account for outlets, under-cabinet lighting, and wall irregularities. We create accurate templates to ensure perfect cutouts for receptacles and cabinets. For large glass panels, we leave a 1/8 in. expansion gap to accommodate thermal movement. Edges are finished with options such as polished arris, chamfer, or metal J-channel trims in stainless steel or aluminum, both for durability and to conceal gaps.
Glass tiles demand specialized adhesives due to their smooth surfaces. Unlike ceramics, they require mortars with high polymer content and bond strength (>400 psi). While A118.4 latex-modified mortars are sufficient for ceramics, we use premium thin-set mortars specifically formulated for glass. For translucent glass, we apply bright white mortars to prevent adhesive show-through, ensuring consistent color and finish. We also verify compatibility between tiles and mortars for low-temperature coated products.
We use only ANSI A118.4 and A118.15 certified products, such as Mosaic & Glass Tile Mortar—a polymer-enriched, bright white thin-set designed for both mosaics and individual glass tiles. Its formulation prevents show-through, producing a clean and uniform appearance. We also source comparable high-performance mortars from other trusted manufacturers, always choosing the best fit for your project.
To protect your backsplash, exposed edges and joints are sealed with clear or color-matched silicone, preventing moisture intrusion. For back-painted panels, we apply a discreet clear silicone bead along countertops and edges. For glass tile installations, grout haze is removed promptly to preserve clarity and brilliance.

Kitchen backsplashes overlap several regulations, including appliance clearances, fire safety, electrical codes, and general building codes. Our team navigates these requirements to ensure that your project meets the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the manufacturer’s requirements.
GE Monogram’s installation manual specifies that when the clearance between a rangetop and a vertical combustible surface is less than 305 mm (12 in.) Above the cooking surface and coveres the full width of the range. Our tempered glass panels, mounted on a non‑combustible backer board, meet this requirement.
Outlets in a backsplash must follow CSA electrical codes. Glass panels are cut to accommodate electrical boxes, ensuring the boxes remain flush and accessible. We coordinate with electricians to maintain clearance and code compliance.
Backsplashes near stoves should use tempered or laminated glass that meets CAN/CGSB‑12.1 safety glazing standards. Tempered glass provides enhanced strength and breaks into blunt particles; laminated glass holds shards together.
To ensure indoor air quality, adhesives and sealants used are low‑VOC and comply with LEED or WELL Building Standard requirements. Our project specifications note product VOC content and safety data sheets.
While NAFS and CSA A440 standards apply primarily to windows and doors, our expertise with these codes ensures the same level of precision and quality across all glazing projects. For installations that combine windows, doors, and glass backsplashes, we handle the full specification and testing process to ensure compliance with the NBCC and all applicable local bylaws.
