When acrylic splashbacks were specified for the TLC Aged Care facility between Geelong and the beachside town of Torquay the builders made a decisive choice.
They rejected the acrylic splashback in the design and contacted Innovative Splashbacks to supply them instead.
The splashbacks were being installed throughout the facility in consulting rooms, tea and coffee points and behind wash basins.
The total amount required was slightly under 100 m², colour matched to Dulux Verdict Half.
There were four key factors for their decision.
Key Criteria #1. Confidence.
The builder had worked with Innovative Splashbacks before and knew they could trust the quality of the product and the delivery time.
In fact, this is the third TLC Aged Care facility they built using the product.
They knew the quality would be extremely high quality and it would be delivered on time.
Key Criteria #2. Price.
Because Innovative Splashbacks are cut to size the builder knew they would only be paying for what they used.
Had they used set sized sheets there would have been approximately 20% – 25% wastage. Effectively they would be paying for material to be thrown away.
They also saved time on-site as well because the sheets didn’t need to be cut.
Each panel was marked during production with its location and dimensions so it was simple for the installers to pick it up and adhere it to the wall.
Given the tight timeframes, this helped keep them on track. It’s especially important for projects where penalties are payable for late completion.

Key Criteria #3. Set and forget
With so many finishing touches to complete on the facility, the last complication the builders needed was having to manage the splashbacks.
Instead they simply asked their joiners to measure up each area, then send them through to Innovative Splashbacks.
During production each splashback was checked carefully to ensure the quality was spot-on. And to make sure the measurements were exactly as requested.
Each panel was marked with the location and the dimensions.
This way the joiners could quickly pick up each panel, take it to the right location and install it quickly. There was no extra measuring or cutting required.
Key Criteria #4. Fast delivery times
The nature of a build like this means final measurements are not always ready until close to the installation time.
This makes it important to produce and deliver the splashbacks quickly.
This order was produced in 7 working days from the final measurements being taken and ready for delivery.
The colour was known in advance which meant it was formulated and ready to be mixed.
All the resources needed to produce the splashbacks were scheduled and other orders were finalised in advance.
And Innovative Splashbacks have developed processes which allow us to produce splashbacks very efficiently and quickly at the quality our customers demand.
Also, Innovative Splashbacks do not produce splashbacks for large hardware chains which means our production schedule is never blocked out weeks in advance to produce high volumes of set colours
The focus is, and will always be on architects, builders and individual home owners.
As a guide for larger orders, we typically produce 50 square metres in 5 working days. Matching colours takes 3 extra days however it can be done in advance if the colour is known.
Having said this, because of the tight lead times in this case the 100 square metre order was produced in 7 days. We often produce orders this quickly when a project requires it.
Innovative Splashbacks were the obvious choice for this project.
The client was able to get their order cut to size, delivered on a tight schedule and for a significantly lower overall cost than other alternatives.
It’s no wonder Innovative Splashbacks are the product of choice for a growing number of architects and builders.
