Height of hob splashback

[mct1]

Our new kitchen installation is imminent and we are asking around about having a splashback made (either glass or steel). I know the widths of the extractor (60cm) and the hob (63cm), but what is the standard height of the extractor above the hob - ie how high should the splashback be? Or is it better to wait until it's been installed and measure up?

Also I've just noticed that Argos do a glass splashback for €30 which is 65cm high. Anyone know whether this is amazing value or a waste of money?

best to fit extractor first and then measure - check extractor manual to ensure it is positioned at correct distance from the hob

If you are going for glass - ensure it is toughened glass otherwise you can expect it to be broken in time
