Firstly, can you just insert this glass as if it were one big long
tile? Would you simply attach it with tile adhesive or would there be
issues?
Nope - drill it and screw it. Drilling glass isn't all _that_ hard,
but for a big piece you're better getting the glazier to do it.
Drill it slightly oversize, then sleeve the screw with a slip of
silicone tubing. Mirror screws with the chrome dome heads are an easy
stock item, but they're still a little ugly IMHO (in a '70s style).
Personally I prefer stainless (or black) snap-head Allens
Our glass splashback is held up with some sort of silicone adhesive as
sold by the glazier - so no drilling holes or screws. Is there a
problem with this approach?
Also, we wanted to try painting it with a colour other than white,
purple in fact. However I am concerned that rather than looking
purple, the green tint of the glass will simply make it rather brown.
Anyone any experience?
Yes, you. Get a foot square of the same glass and prototype it.
You'll never know unless you see it in situ.
Will do! Was going to do that anyway, but wondered if anyone knew
whether it was a waste of time! Will posyt back the results
