Hi guys,

Just curious if people have come across those gloss finish aluminium kitchen splashbacks? (these were from mitre 10).

I haven’t finished the job yet but I have decided to earth them where a PowerPoint or switch etc is recessed into them even though it’s not likely to physically make contact, just wondered if other people have come across them and what they are doing?

Regards

I think you've taken the right approach

A similar topic was just discussed recently

5.4.6.1 has all the information you need

Agree.
and if you earth them either with a dedicated, separate PEC; or at each fitting using that fitting's PEC;
then there's no risk of the earth being inadvertently removed during later alterations
