Glass kitchen apron is an excellent alternative tile. The glass is very easy to clean, but to deal with mud in those few seams that remain after installation, much easier than in the case of a tile.
It should be noted that the installation of glass kitchen apron requires certain skills.
Fastening profile.
As a rule, the kitchen apron is installed with backlight, so before mounting the profile, it is necessary to fix the LED tape and connect electricity to it, of course you will have to order a kitchen, if there is no one. Check the tape for faults need to be checked before the profile is fixed.
In the process of installing a glass apron, two types of profile can be used: the first species is attached to the surface of the wall, the other - to the bottom of the upper kitchen cabinets. The installation of the second option is more complicated, as due to the presence of LED tape in the profile, it will be uncomfortable to mount it to the bottom of the lockers.
In order to install this profile qualitatively, it is necessary to mount it to the cabinets without a ribbon, which will have to insert later, which is also a very inconvenient process. After the tape is placed in the fixed profile, you need to check the serviceability of its work.
With the second type of profile (which is attached to the wall) such problems in the installation process will not arise.
Installation of glass.
When profiles are fixed, you can start glass installation. For this, with the help of a sprayer, you must apply a layer of moisture to the glass surface, after which - paste the film.
In order for the drawing on the glass apron to look very much, glue the film is as follows: all glass parts of the apron must be put on one large flat surface, tightly closer to the joints of the joints. After that, it is necessary to stick the film immediately to the entire glass surface of the apron, passing the residues of air and water from under it. The glued film must be cut in the places of joints of glass sheets.
To secure the glass, you must first insert its upper part into the holding profile, after which it is neat (it is important not to scratch the table top) to push the bottom to the wall and tightly fit it into the guide. Other glass parts of the apron are inserted along the same principle.
In order to avoid noticeable slots between the glasses, it is necessary, with the help of light thumbs of a rubber hammer, press the edges of the glass sheets to each other. Glasses can crash from a strong mechanical impact, so the hammer strikes the hammer is very accurate and attaching the minimum of effort. Also worth carefully follow the joints of the sheets - when they will disappear into each other, you need to immediately stop tapping.
After completing all the above actions, the installation process can be considered completed.
