Hourly daily
Laminate, plenty of colours/patterns to choose from. You can probably pick up some seconds at a good price
Mini-orb might look ok, depending on the style of kitchen
Glass splash back is good. No grout & easy to clean

One of those things. Problem is, it needs to be fire rated & water proof. I knocked one up for a friend, ended up being about 1/3 the cost of a glass splash back. Get enough glass tiles 200 or 300mm longest dimension works best to tile the area, a box or two of neutral cure silicone (clear), a couple of tubes in white or whatever grouting colour you like. Glue the tiles on with the silicone and grout with the colour silicone. Heaps cheaper than getting it tiled professionally and easy to diy. Anything done by trade is going to co$t in a splash back unfortunately.

was going to suggest corrugated iron then realized that is what mini orb is...

I have seen stainless steel look excellent for a splashback. But I imagine it would be a bitch to keep clean.

If you can keep it to simple shapes, ie. rectangles, without power point cut outs, no internal corners and use a flat colour rather than a metallic it will keep the price down. Glass is by far the best option, looks the tits and upkeep is super easy. Where about are you? I might be able to put you on to someone.

Yup, that'll add to the cost, sorry don't know any glaziers that far to the boonies or would travel that far.

As said, glass is the balls but what about an extremely flat piece of treated concrete (or painted) could be an interesting look

Why does each day of the week end in the word day? If each day also has a night. And why do we refer to each day as a day and a night of each day? If day is considered a unit of time which is equal to 24hrs, then where does night come in? Is nightime part of the daytime? If so then how can daytime be 24hrs? Is my question soo stupid it doesn't make any sense?

Unless night is a part of the 24hrs... but then the day would not be equal to the whole 24hrs... unless people mistake the term 'day' as actually being the day and not the night time part of the day. In which case daytime is the same as nightime and only distinguishable by the level of darkness or lack of sunlight, which brings me to my next question; how much lack of light is needed in order for the day to be night? and how much light or lack of darkness is needed for the day to be daytime? or is it purely based on a set definition of hourly time, in which case you would be using time to measure a unit of time?.....

I can understand that in regards to the actual naming of the days, what i dont understand is the definition of the word 'day'.
Monday= Mundane day.
As for why there are 24 hours in a day I think it had something to do with stars. At some point in the year somewhere on Earth night is 12 hours long and certain stars would show up at exact intervals that worked out to 12 different segments and those intervals were then mirrored to the day time leading to 24 hours.
There is a chance I'm full of crap but from memory it went something like that.

Back in the day...... A day would have started at dawn, therefore the beginning of the day and the daylight were one and the same.
