Grout cracks and falls out during seasonal temperature changes. Would caulking work better? If so, acrylic? Silicone? ...or what?
Thank you! JMK

Clear caulking works great. Go to your local hardware store and ask questions. -

Yes, either would work better, both are flexible and can help absorb movement, whereas the grout can crack -

Regardless of counter and backsplash materials, there should be a thin bead of caulk to create a waterproof seal where they join. If the counter is light colored, you can use white silicone. If it's dark, I recommend clear or for a premium you can buy color matched silicone. -

Hello. I would caulk it. I always caulk when there are seams or corners. Silicone works well.
