To seal shiplap for a backsplash, use a quality primer and durable, moisture-resistant paint.
Finish with a heat-resistant and waterproof clear coat to protect the backsplash from water damage or stains.

Shiplap is a dust magnet, making a shiplap backsplash require regular maintenance to look its best.
According to Angi, vertical shiplap will collect less dust than traditional horizontal shiplap.
To keep shiplap dust-free, clean the grooves between boards with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
