The wall between the worktop and the wall cabinets gets dirty faster than anywhere else in the kitchen: water splashes, grease, sauce. Instead of tiles, more and more kitchens use a decorative wall panel here, matching the worktop or the fronts. This guide explains what a kitchen wall panel is, its size, how to choose the décor and what to know about fitting.
In short
- A kitchen wall panel (splashback) covers the wall between the worktop and the wall cabinets instead of tiles.
- Mobilier.md, in Chișinău, Moldova, stocks 43 double-sided EGGER decorative panels, 4,100 × 640 mm and 8 mm thick.
- Each panel has a different décor on each side — two options in one board.
- Panels can be ordered cut to size with cut-outs for sockets.
Why a wall panel instead of tiles
- No joints: one piece up to 4.1 m long, so there are no grout lines to collect dirt.
- Faster fitting: fixed to the wall without tiling work.
- Matching décor: choose the same décor as the worktop or a contrast.

Choosing the décor
- Matching the worktop: EGGER panels share décor codes (starting with F or H) with some EGGER worktops in the catalogue, so you can find a pair by code.
- Contrast: for example, a wood-décor worktop with a stone-décor panel.
- Two sides: if you change your mind during fitting, use the other side.
Choose the panel together with your kitchen worktop to see the décors side by side.
Size, sockets and fitting
The 640 mm width usually covers the gap between the worktop and the wall cabinets; if your gap is smaller, the panel is cut to width. One panel covers up to 4.1 m of wall.
Socket cut-outs (36–320 mm) can be made with CNC machining, and the panel can be cut to length. Mark each socket position in your order.
The wall should be dry and as flat as possible. Behind a gas hob, keep the safety distance recommended by the hob manufacturer; heat-resistant materials such as glass or metal are sometimes used in that area.
