A stainless steel backsplash in the kitchen is more popular than ever. The sleek, industrial look of stainless steel fits perfectly in modern kitchens and instantly gives your space a professional feel. At Designerwand, you can order a stainless steel look kitchen backsplash online, fully custom made for your kitchen.
Why choose a stainless steel look backsplash?
Real stainless steel panels are heavy, difficult to cut to size and hard to install yourself. Our stainless steel look backsplashes deliver the same result, but in a smarter way. We print the stainless steel design on brushed aluminium, giving you the look and feel of real stainless steel without the drawbacks.
- Lightweight and easy to install. No heavy panels, no specialist needed
- Fully custom made. Including cut-outs for sockets and taps
- Unique designs possible. Combine the stainless steel look with prints, patterns or your own photo
- Affordable. A fraction of the cost of real stainless steel panels
- Easy to clean. No fingerprints like with real stainless steel
Brushed aluminium creates the perfect stainless steel look
The secret is in the material. Our Brushed panels are made of brushed aluminium, which gives exactly that characteristic stainless steel appearance. The brushed texture is both visible and tactile, just like real stainless steel. Combined with our special white ink, we can print designs that blend perfectly with the brushed aluminium.
On the left you see a design on our DW Original panel. On the right the same design, specially created for the stainless steel Brushed panel. The difference is clear: the brushed texture gives the design a completely different character.
Stainless steel backsplash with a unique design
At Designerwand, you do not have to settle for a plain stainless steel panel. We have designed several beautiful designs specifically for the Brushed panels. Think of subtle textures that let the brushed aluminium shine through, or combine it with a sleek pattern.
A few popular choices on brushed aluminium:
- Texture Anthra. Dark and industrial, perfect with black or dark grey kitchens
- Texture Gray. Neutral grey that suits virtually any kitchen
- Texture Soft Sands. Warm sandy tone for a soft, natural appearance
Or go for something completely different and have your own photo printed on brushed aluminium. The result is surprisingly beautiful: the metal texture gives every image a unique dimension.
Stainless steel look combined with other styles
The stainless steel look does not just suit industrial kitchens. You increasingly see a combination of stainless steel elements with warm wood, concrete or marble. At Designerwand, you can effortlessly create these combinations. Choose for example a marble design on brushed aluminium for a luxurious industrial effect. Or combine a concrete look with the brushed texture.
