Help with hear cracking back-painted glass backsplash

Q

http://www.dacor.com/getattachment/Products/Rangetop/Discovery-48-36-Gas-Rangetops/Planning-Guides-PDF.pdf.aspx . If the clearances were followed, there would be a far less chance of the glass cracking. (Unless you still tried to shove a griddle all the way back to the wall with the burners up high) Neither glass, tile, or drywall is an acceptable means to reduce the required clearance from the back of the cooktop to the rear wall. IInternational Residential Code (Acceptable non-combustible materials and application) "G2409.1 (308.1) Scope. This section shall govern the reduction in required clearances to combustible materials, including gypsum board, and combustible assemblies..." . "All clearances shall be measured from the outer surface of the combustible material to the nearest point on the surface of the appliance, disregarding any intervening protection applied to the combustible material." . http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icod/irc/2012/icod_irc_2012_24_sec007.htm . The only other option is to use one of the approved (listed and labeled) backguards as mentioned in the first picture.

Dreamwalls Glass

There are several manufacturers of back-painted glass in the U.S. It probably IS tempered for this application due to the proximity to the heat element. It can be custom colored any color, and fabricated with holes for outlets, switchplates, or - in this case - faucets. We can even create custom outlet and switchplates to match. Quality points to look for: 1) Starphire low-iron glass is recommended as the substrate for color clarity. 2) A 2-coat backing for opacity and no adhesive ghosting or bleed-through 3) Custom color matching capability 4) Fabrication capability for holes notches, etc. 5) A fully cured backing paint that is neither too "gummy" or brittle for ease of fabrication and installation. FInd a reputable glass or mirror installer in your area and tell them you're interested in backpainted glass,....like Dreamwalls Color Glass by Gardner Glass Products.

We're getting the glass backsplash from http://www.icdcoatings.com/. It is a tempered glass product and you can read specs on their website. Not yet installed but the sample looks great.
