Caulking between a granite backsplash and a wall is essential to achieving a seamless and professional look in your kitchen or bathroom. Improper caulk can lead to water damage, mold growth, and unsightly gaps. This article will guide you through the steps of properly caulking between your granite backsplash and wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Next, choose a high-quality caulk that is suitable for use in wet areas, such as silicone caulk.
