- Built to Last: The stainless steel is properly tough and won't buckle or stain.
- Basic Fixings: You’ll want to use your own heavy-duty wall plugs for a solid fix.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Saucy Chip', a popular fish and chip shop in Scarborough, recently re-tiled their main potato prep area. They needed a way to protect the new grout from water damage and staining behind the peeler and main washing sink.
"We were spending ages scrubbing the tiles every night, but the grout was still getting discoloured. Fitting these simple splash guards took about 15 minutes and has completely solved the problem. The area looks cleaner and our nightly clean-up is much faster."
Robert Evans – Owner
The installation of two Oxford Hardware FW859 splash guards has cut their wall-cleaning time by over 10 minutes a day and prevented any long-term damage to the new tiling.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before drilling, always check the wall for hidden pipes or electrical cables.
- Use wall plugs and screws appropriate for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick) for a secure fit.
- Use a spirit level to ensure the panel is perfectly straight for a professional look and optimal coverage.
- Position it centrally behind the sink tap or appliance to catch the majority of splashes.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe multi-purpose cleaner.
- For tougher grease, use a designated stainless steel cleaner, always wiping with the grain of the metal.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or steel wool as they can scratch the surface.
- Periodically check that the fixings are still tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this be mounted onto a tiled wall?
A: Yes, absolutely. You will just need to use a tile drill bit and the correct wall plugs for a secure fixing through the tiles.
Q: What is the best way to clean this stainless steel kitchen splash guard?
A: For daily cleaning, a soft cloth with a standard food-safe kitchen cleaner works perfectly. For a polished finish, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner.
Q: Is it heat resistant enough to go behind a hob?
A: Yes, stainless steel is highly heat resistant and is ideal for use behind gas or electric hobs to protect the wall.
Q: Do the fixings (screws and plugs) come with it?
A: Fixings are generally not included as the required type depends heavily on your specific wall surface (plasterboard, brick, tile, etc.).
Q: Can I install it horizontally instead of vertically?
A: Yes, you can mount it in any orientation you need to provide the best coverage for your specific problem area.
Q: How thick is the steel?
A: This is a commercial-grade panel designed for rigidity and durability, typically around 0.9mm to 1.2mm thick.
Q: Is the surface magnetic?
A: Most commercial-grade stainless steel used in catering has low magnetic properties, so it's not reliable for holding magnetic items like knife racks.
Q: Are the corners and edges sharp?
A: The panels are manufactured with safety in mind and edges are de-burred to remove sharpness, but it's always wise to handle with care during installation.

Explore more from HydroniksWhy Stainless Steel is the Pro's Choice
Ever wondered why nearly every surface in a commercial kitchen is stainless steel? It's all about hygiene. Unlike porous materials like wood, tile grout, or even plastic, stainless steel has a non-porous surface. Think of it like a perfectly smooth sheet of glass versus a sponge. Bacteria, food particles, and moisture have nowhere to hide on a stainless steel splashback for kitchen use. They simply sit on the surface, ready to be wiped away completely. This is critical for preventing cross-contamination and passing health inspections with flying colours. It's a simple feature with a massive impact on food safety.
