Is Tumbled marble backsplash in a kitchen a bad idea?



Some say that tumbled marbled backsplash in a kitchen is a nightmare as the mess from food will stain the stones. But as long as they are well sealed, and any spillages cleaned up rather than left, staining should not generally be a problem.



If you do get any serious spillages of acidic materials on your tumbled marble, travertone or slate backsplash, like an oil or wine stain, probably the best thing is a good steam clean, as that will usually get rid of almost any stain, and a steam cleaner is easy to buy or rent these days.



With Tumbled Marble and any absorbent stone its just a case of being careful, and ensuring that your backsplash tiles are properly sealed with a good sealing product right after installation.

Many natural stones are porous of course and do require sealing before using in places where they will come into contact with liquids such as kitchens or bathrooms, but as long as a proper seal is applied and maintained then damage should not be an issue. Of course acidic materials are not good on tumbled marble or other natural stones also as they tend to dull the colors.



Any quality sealant should be able to resist oil and water, but the acidic liquids such as lemon juice, vinegar, ketchup etc, its just a case of remembering to clean up any spillages and splashes and splatters from cooking as soon as possible before that have a chance to do any damage.

You can even get color enhancing sealers that should bring out the colors of the tiles even more. But again its best to try this on samples or individual tiles before you put them on the wall to ensure you are happy with the resulting effect that you get



If you are going to go the diy route, then definitely make sure to remove all the grease from the existing wall with a good wash. Seal the tiles before you put the on the wall. Try and ensure you use a grout that wont stain your tiles or change the color effect.
