Hi,

Looking to order this https://ao.com/product/hcg71320x-beko-chimney-cooker-hood-stainless-steel-50824-5.aspx

What kind of splashback should go with this.

Does it need to be curved?

Thanks

    Not sure what you mean - splashbacks don't have to go all the way up to the cooker hood.

    A few rows of tiles should do shouldn't they?

    As Paula says, you don't need to take the splashback all the way up, 30-50cm will be enough. I have a similar hood and bought a piece of gloss white glass from Ebay that fitted perfectly and glued that to the wall (glue supplied). It's much easier to clean than tiles. An alternative is a stainless steel sheet, plenty of sellers on Ebay although stainless steel is a pain to keep clean as a splashback.

    We have a stainless steel splash back.

    Ours does go up all the way to the hood, but our hood has a square edge so not a problem with the curve like the item you list. The splash back doesn't need to go all the way up to the hood.

    We don't find it a problem to keep clean. We just wipe it over with KOH to keep it gleaming and streak free.

    That is what we did a few years ago with a similar hood.

    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    Based on just the title, I was going to say put a handful of toilet paper in the bowl, usually stops it!
