My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

how do you care for the tile?

9 years ago
We are planning to use the tile as a backsplash. Will the tile stain if splashed with oil? Is there a sealant we should use if using the tile for backsplash.

    Hi Nikki,

    we always recommend to use Miracle 511 sealer (minimum 2 coats) to be used. Since you are planning to use this tile as back-splash you can use the sealer before the installation. Miracle 511 is easy to use, quick to dry and does not effect the tile's original color.
