Hob Splashback - Heat Resistent or just thick?

OLDFLYBYNIGHT

Hello

The wall behind my ceramic hob is tiled, and gets the odd spit from the frying pan or saucepan. To keep the tiles clean I want to put up a glass splash-back (about 570mm x 570mm). Wall to nearest 'ring' is 110mm.

Do I need heat resistant, strengthened, or just thick glass?
Best drilled, or not?

Looking for a safe but economical solution.

Thanks in advance for your responses ...

I'd advise you use a safety glass that's heat resistant with the edges ground and holes pre-drilled by a glazier. There's usually some heat bleed onto them depending on the pots/pans used, but not too bad. However, it's not worth taking the chance on an exploding glass for a few quid IMO.
