Materials | Pimp Your Kitchen

At Pimp Your Kitchen you can choose between three different materials for your wall panels and splashbacks. These are the Pimp Superior, the Pimp Solid and the Pimp Flexible. On this page you can find all the information you need regarding each material. If you're still not sure which one to get, you can ask us for samples. That way you can feel the materials and see which one will fit your kitchen best.

Our Pimp superior

This is a unique material with respect to wall panels and splashbacks. It consists of 2 mm thick, watertight, lightweight aluminium that is treated with a special kind of coating. Using special ink, it is possible to print the image inside the coating. This is done via a patented procedure at a temperature of well over 200 degrees Celcius. This makes the Pimp Superior very heat resistant. The heat coming from your cooker is no match for it. This material comes standard with a beautiful gloss finish but a matt finish is also possible. The matt finish doesn't show any reflections from sunlight or lamps. The Pimp Superior is a fantastic alternative to glass and much easier to mount on your wall.

We make every wall panel completely custom to your needs. This means that all cutouts or cutoffs are done at no extra cost. For this we do need your kitchen's precise measurements. You can read more about measuring your kitchen wall on this page. The wall panels are very easy to mount on the wall. With a Polymer construction adhesive this will be a piece of cake. The surface of your wall does not need to be completely flat, you can mount the wall panel on top of old tiles or texture paint, no problem!

Dimensions A Pimp Superior plate can be 400 cm wide and 145 cm high in a single piece. If you need more than that you will receive multiple panels that join together.
Cleaning You can clean the Pimp Superior plates very easily with a soft piece of cloth and a bit of soap. Don't use: solvents, degreasers, bleaching agents, (resin) cleaners or abrasives.

The Pimp Solid

The Pimp Solid material Is 3 mm thick. The core is made from Polyethylene with a top layer on both sides of 0.3 mm aluminium. The designs are printed directly into the material and is then finished with a gloss or matt coating. This makes your wall panels or splashback very durable, resistant to the heat near your cooker and very easy to clean. This material is light weight and water tight.

We advice not to choose Pimp Solid for placement behind a gas or electric stove, for the Polyethylene core may liquify with a possible deformation of the splashback as a result. For use behind an induction stove, the distance of hot pans must be at least 10 cm. For use behind a stove we advice you to choose our Pimp Superior for this fully Aluminum splashback conducts the cooking heat away perfectly.

The Pimp Flexible

A Pimp Flexible is a high quality latex based paper. The images are printed into the material using pigmented ink. The topside of this paper is laminated. This filters UV light, making the colours more durable. It also ensures that the paper is suitable for use in a kitchen, near a cooker. Being easy to clean is only one of the requirements for that. The Pimp Flexible material is 0.5 mm thick and is applied to your wall with wallpaper glue on a flat, dry and clean surface. We produce the Pimp Flexible to your specifications, any cutouts or modifications can easily be done by yourself using a sharp (hobby)knife and possibly a ruler.

Like the Pimp Solid, the materials are 3 mm thick with a Polyethylene core with a top layer of 0.3 mm aluminium. We can add a any image in black and white, that will make for something realy unique. With the exeptions of the points mentioned (in this text and below), this material has the same features as the Pimp Solid.
