Can I use Slate-Lite as a backsplash in the kitchen?

You are welcome to use Slate-Lite in the kitchen. When used as a backsplash, we recommend sealing the stone veneers to protect the surface from heavy soiling and to make it easier to clean.
We recommend our Slate-Lite Extreme Protection.
Please apply 2 coats of this in the kitchen to ensure optimum protection.

Use as a worktop is possible, but is only recommended under certain conditions due to the rough surface of the stones and the extreme loads caused by cutting tools, hot pots/pans etc. If you use Slate-Lite as a work surface, you should always impregnate the material several times with our Slate-Lite Special Protection.
Please note, however, that the pearl protection is a food-safe impregnation and not a sealant. The material does not become cut-resistant through the application of our pearl protection.
We therefore recommend using cutting tools only in conjunction with a cutting board, as otherwise scratches would remain on the surface of the material. Please also always use an appropriate trivet for hot pots/pans.

To make cleaning the material easier, we recommend using flat, smooth decors in this area.
You can also bond Slate-Lite directly over existing tiles if required. Please just make sure that the substrate is clean and that the bonding surface is not damaged.
