How do I clean kitchen wall panels?

A microfibre cloth with warm water handles daily cleaning. Remove stubborn grease with a general-purpose cleaner or washing-up liquid. No scouring cream, no acetone, no steel wool — these will attack the PU layer.

Do panels work above an induction hob?

Yes. Induction doesn't produce radiant heat like gas — the heat stays in the pot. Panels directly behind induction hobs are not a problem.

Is the backsplash fine with splashes from washing up?

Splashes while washing up, yes — SPC is 100% waterproof. Permanent standing water for days should obviously be avoided, but that applies to every kitchen backsplash.

Why wall panels instead of a traditional backsplash?

The typical German kitchen backsplash is either tiled (labour-intensive, expensive, dusty installation), glass (expensive, hard to replace, visible bracket holes), or laminate boards (cheap, but visually ordinary). SPC panels beat all three in practice: cheaper than tiles, easier to swap than glass, and visually far more premium than laminate.

Particularly relevant for rental kitchens: on move-out you can remove the panels cleanly and take them with you — or leave them for the next tenant as added value.

Which look works best in the kitchen?

Glossy marble: the classic luxury look. Reflects light, brightens the kitchen, feels more upmarket than kitchen tiles. Downside: fingerprints and splashes show up more on gloss.
