The bricks would need a lot of work to have that done. It was something I thought as an option for asthetics, however the appartment is aimed at up-market trendy studio feel.
Cheaper than glass for splashbacks (the premium for these is high) Adds rooms to kitchen space Makes the granite tops look amazing You dont have to clean it
it's a buy, add value, rent and reinvest equity strategy for this property. Given the current climate, theres always a possibility of selling if it comes to that although highly unlikely.
Mirrors is an interesting alternative to glass, i'll take a look around to see some examples.
Hi Mike, I'd prob go with option 2. The corice cement should hold but if you were still concerned you could also use nylon masonry plugs aswell. Have you had any quotes for your glass splash back? I was keen on glass for my splash back aswell but the cheapest price i could find was around $350 per M2 installed. I'm going with tiles now for around a tenth of the price. Good luck Glen
Thanks for the reply. I went with option 2 and started the work over the weekend. Although the glass is more expensive, depending on the apartment and demographic, spending the extra can be worth it.
Let you know how it goes. <br /:)” title=”>:)” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
I'd also go fibre cement sheet but depending upon how bad the brick work behind is, fix a few 20 x 40 timber battens @ 450 mm centres horizontally, fix with spaghetti and screws. Then use stud adhesive & plasterboard screws (predrill holes through the sheet). Cornice cement is probably not the best solution in wet areas (read the pack).
