We are considering using White Alabama honed marble as a backsplash in the kitchen. The white squares are clipped at the corners and have a honed black marble diamond inset at the corners. First, is honed marble an acceptable and rational choice for a kitchen backsplash (cleanup from splashes like tomato sauce, etc.) and second..should the marble be sealed? Thank you for your help.

 

Dear Joy ce:

It sounds lovely!... I love Alabama marble!

If I were you all I would do is apply to your backsplash a good-quality stone color enhancer that's also an impregnator, like MB-6 and … enjoy! The product will turn the hone-finished back marble black, yet preserving the dull surface.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?   :-)

Ciao and good luck,
