As a d.i.y person I fitted Alusplash panels in my kitchen about a year ago and remain delighted with the result. I have some tips here for anyone else so inclined to instal theirs as follows:- For what it is Alusplash is a very good product and needs to be treated carefully to avoid disappointment so if you're in a rush and only have limited time then don't start! I used two trestles to horizontally support a pair of aluminium ladders to provide a working platform for panel cutting using cardboard packaging for surface protection against scuffs and scores. Where butt joints are required use the side faces of panels as they are very accurately cut and require no dressing to make perfect joints. All my panel cutting was done freehand using a jigsaw with a relatively inexpensive fine-toothed blade at a medium speed, the blade's teeth don't clog and the sawdust is easily vacuumed. There are no metal slithers or chips produced to worry about. Using a fixed guide with a jigsaw doesn't guarantee an accurate cut line and is best not used from my experience. Always de-burr panel edges (if needed) square to the surface otherwise the aluminium beneath the surface coating will show up as a bright metallic line if exposed. Finally, if a long panel has been ordered then make sure two people unload it upon delivery as carrying such a panel midway even vertically can easily lead to it buckling thereby making it unusable. Good luck.
