Hi @simone27,

It would be best to refer to the manufacturer's directions when installing your new polymer splashback. In the case of our polymer splashbacks, the manufacturer recommends using a clear neutral-cure silicone for adhesion. This silicone will adhere to stainless steel, though I'd suggest keying the surface with 80-grit sandpaper to ensure the silicone has something to bite into.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
