Hi all,
I'm about to embark on fitting a new gas hob into the new worktop and have turned my thoughts towards the splashback behind the hood which we are intending to use stainless steel for. The hob is kind of in a corner (ish) - that is, the wall to the right of the hob juts out about
250mm:WALL
---------------################### +--------------+ # 250mm WALL JUTTING OUT BIT | | # | | #-------------- | HOB | WALL | | | | +--------------+
What I would ideally like to do is have the stainless steel splashback coming around the corner (i.e. # in the diagram). The way I see it is these are the options:
1) Two seperate sheets of stainless steel - one at the back and one at the side. How would I go about joining these though?2) Have one sheet of steel fabricated with a fold to fit into the corner
- anyone any ideas how much something like that would cost? What type of business would I need to look for to do it?
Presumably 2 would give the neater finish, but I suspect it will be more expensive and may be difficult to get spot on as our walls tend to be anything but purpendicular.
If we went for 1, I thought a cheap option would be to buy a wide standard splashback (i.e. 750mm x 1000mm) and cut the two splashbacks from it (i.e. 1 at 600mm wide and 1 at 250mm wide) - how hard is stainless steel sheet to cut with - can it be done with a jigsaw?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Richard.
