Not water proof.

a year ago
I applied this over Behr concrete stain on a new fully cured basement floor. It looks nice but if the floor gets wet the sealer turns white. If I leave water laying on the sealer for 30 minutes or more the sealer starts to come up like Elmers glue. The spots that got wet remain visibly discolored after drying.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the discoloration when the coating gets wet. It sounds like the sealer has not fully cured since you mentioned it becomes soft like glue when water sits on the surface for longer periods of time. We'd like to help get your project back on track, and I sent you an email to get more info and provide the best solution. Thanks again for reaching out, and I hope to hear back from you soon! -Christina

Great poduct

2 years ago
This is a great product if used exactly as stated, I used this on course textured unsealed bricks and waited for temperature to drop below 80° no sunlight, product soaks in and works great, subsequent coats can be very thin. Any thing that is to smooth to soak up product or if it's previously sealed u must follow directions to acid etch. This worked great on course landscaping bricks and pavers. Only wish it was more permanent the waterproof quality seems to wear off over time, I will re coat my water fountain in the spring

Hello, thank you for your review and feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the white streaks all over your stone patio. I understand your disappointment and want to find the best way to help. You have a few different options depending on the number of coats applied. If one coat has been applied so far, allow the surface to dry for 24 hours and apply a second coat to a test area to see if the white streaks clear. If so, apply a second coat to the entire area. If two coats have been applied, allow the coating to dry for 24 hours. If the white streaks are still visible, we recommend removing the sealer using a concrete stripper or power washer. I'll reach out to you in a private email to get more details about your project and continue assisting you. Have a great day! -Giovanna

White streaks after 1st coat appear on flat surfac

White streaks are abundant in my flagstone patio after applying one coat in 80 degree sunny weather. I've tried lightly hand sanding the white streaks w 120/150 sandpaper and water but still there. The retainer wall looks great but the patio looks like a sugar high child with chalk was scribbling on my patio

Hi there, thank you for reviewing our Low-Lustre Sealer. I’m sorry to hear that the sealer left white streaks on your patio. It’s hard to say exactly what is causing the issue, but it may be moisture is trapped underneath the coating. Since only one coat was applied.I’d let the first coat dry at least 24 hours then apply a 2nd coat to a 2’ x 2’ test area. The 2nd coat may reactivate the first coat letting the moisture leave the coating and let it dry clear. If that is unsuccessful, the sealer would need to be removed with a paint stripper, the surface needs to be re-etched and the sealer re-applied. I’ve also reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you with this further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald

Thank you for your review and picture of your project. I'm so sorry to hear about the white areas and streaks that have appeared after the rain. That is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix the issue without removing the coating, I recommend letting the surface dry before cleaning the surface with soap and water and gently scrubbing the affected areas to remove that. Alternatively, you can apply another thin coat to a small test area. That may allow it to reactivate the first and let it dry clear. If that does not resolve the issue, you can use denatured alcohol to wipe the milky areas with a clean cloth. That will clear up the finish. Nonetheless, your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. I've sent you an email to learn more about your project and assist you further. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review our Low-Lustre Concrete Sealer. I'm sorry to hear the coating has white streaks on it. To fix this, you have a couple of different options: Option 1: Dab a small amount of denatured alcohol on the white/milky areas to soften the coating long enough for extra moisture to escape. Option 2: Remove the sealer using a conventional paint stripper, pressure washer, or floor sander. Then, reapply the sealer following the spread rate on the label. I've also emailed you directly to get more info about your project and assist further. Thanks again for reaching out, and I hope to hear back from you soon! -Christina

Amazing product!! Extra protection and looks good

3 years ago
I don’t understand the bad reviews. I’ve used this product multiple in different years without any issues. As long as you follow the preparation steps using Behr concrete and apply in the right conditions, everything should go smoothly. In fact I was able to apply several thin coats in shorter time on a moderately sunny and not humid day without any problems. It was dry to the touch in a few hours and follow the drying time procedure. I’ll get another two years protection on our aggregate walkway and patio. Well worth the cost (which isn’t cheap). Also cleanup is easier since it’s not oil based. Good luck and enjoy! One of the pictures shows untreated backyard patio and afterwards, the other is a reseated porch walkway…

Yes, I recommend this product.

Used low oyster concrete sealer over my painted concrete basement floors. Product followed the manufacturer’s specifications and it was easy to apply, however DOESN’t have the necessary strength to stay on. Can be very easily scratched! Keep in mind i, I used it on basement floor, limited traffic area, no kids, no pets and still, just placing back our stuff, got scratched . Worked hard to make the floors beautiful and durable I though 😩 Please look elsewhere for a better product .

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there, thank you for reviewing our Low-Lustre Sealer. I’m sorry to hear that the sealer is easily scratched. This isn’t typical with the product. To fix the issue, I’d recommend lightly scuff-sanding the surface with 150-grit sandpaper to rough up the gloss, ensure the surface is clean, and apply at least two coats of the sealer. Up to four coats can be applied for maximum durability. Also, I’d advise waiting at least 72 hours before moving any furniture on the coating.

White spots, streaks and flakes horrible product

3 years ago
These are photos of 4 different projects. I have a small paver, concrete, and natural stone deck business. I have had bad reviews and unhappy customers due to the poor quality of this product. It has cost me time and money on top of losing customers. I do not recommend this product for exterior use at all. It holds moisture from rain and leaves white spots and streaks. It also flakes as you can see in the photos. BEHR should advise consumers that this product should not be used for any exterior sealer on pavers or natural stone. DO NOT USE ON OKLAHOMA FLAGSTONE or it will end up looking horrible like these pictures. This has cost me hundreds of dollars and business. I am very disappointed and upset because I take pride in my work. This sealer has ruined so many projects. I give my customers a 12 month warranty and I stand behind all of my work. BEHR should do the same.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry about the issues you've experienced with the sealer. This is not how we expect our products to perform, and I can understand your disappointment.

Well, now I read the reviews and others especially those with pavers all have the same issue. I followed the directions, cleaned, etched, dried, watched temp, shook containers, thin coat sprayed/rolled and paid a lot of money it ruin my driveway and walk.

Hi chuck754, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the Low-Lustre Sealer you used on your pavers turned white. To get your project back on track if you've only applied one coat, we'd recommend applying a second coat on a small test area and allowing it to dry for at least 4 hours. A second coat often reactivates the milky first coat and allows it to dry properly. If two or more coats have already been applied, we'd recommend removing the sealer with a color-safe concrete stripper, cleaning the surface with a concrete cleaner and degreaser, allowing it to dry for at least 24 hours, and reapplying the sealer. Customer satisfaction is important to us. So, we've reached out to you directly to assist you further. Have a great rest of your Sunday. -Joanna

The Option To Repair is to Start Over Again!

4 years ago
The stripper worked, the bonding primer worked, the two coats of stain were amazingly beautiful on our stamped concrete patio, 33'X9'. The work put in combined with getting the perfect weather to do a multi-day project like this doesn't come along readily. The Low Luster finisher was brutal after all that work. The milky finish scattered throughout the patio looks terrible. I'll try the denatured alcohol over the stripper and redoing and have to live with the poor results. If the margin for error with this product is that finicky, Behr needs to do more than offer a refund.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very satisfied with results

4 years ago
I was a little worried about using this product after reading some of the reviews. I planned to use it on my 22 year old concrete patio which had a surface so rough you could use it to file a callus off your foot. It had never been sealed since it was first put in. When I poured the sealer into the sprayer I worried it was too old as it had a kind of lose lumpy viscosity to it like a thin buttermilk, but it sprayed perfectly. Yes, it does appear milky at first but I sprayed it thinly and brushed it even as I applied it to small sections at a time. The instructions stated not to apply it in direct sunlight, so I waited until just before sunset when it was shady enough to do the job. It dried to a beautiful clear mat finish. I put a second coat on the next day and waited 3 days before moving the furniture back on. The BBQ rolls nice again and the patio chairs slide great. It feels so good to walk on with bare feet. I could not be more pleased and recommend this product highly.

The only reason this product doesn't have a 5 stars is due to poor installation. If you use a roller only, it won't work. I spray a thin coat using a medium quality sprayer and rolled it with a polyester 10mm roll. It works like a charm. If you're here reading this review, you know what to do, so don't be fool by the poor review from people who thought it could be applied like indoor wall painting.

The worst sealer I have ever used.

We used over 10 gallons for 2 coats on a 2000sf. + driveway and it turned the pavers milky white. Now Behr Company says to use paint stripper or a sander to remove their product. Neither one sounds like a good option to me. Not only did I waste my money on the product, but it is going to be outrageously expensive to remove and replace with a different sealer. I wish I would have read the reviews before using.

Product failure - Unsightly tire marks!

Two months after I applied this product, I continue to experience heavy tire marks on my pavers...see photo. The customer care dept offered no real solution other than pressure washing the pavers to remove the product. I have a 3200psi washer that isn't capable of removing the product nor the tire marks. The extreme warm weather where we live may account for some of the problem - not sure entirely! Todate, I have no solution and frustrated with the situation.

Hi PKupps,

Thank you for reviewing Low-Lustre Sealer. I'm very sorry to hear about the milky issue you experienced. It certainly isn't what we want our customers to go through. I completely understand how disappointed you must be and would love to do my best to help.

If only one coat has been applied, a second coat can be tested in a small area. The second coat may reactivate the first coat so that trapped moisture can escape. Alternatively, you can try wiping a small area with denatured alcohol, as this can also help release trapped moisture. Applying this product during the recommended weather conditions (50-80F; below 50% humidity) and out of direct sunlight is imperative for optimal results.

I emailed you directly and look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindest regards,

Makes my back porch pop!

6 years ago
I used semi-transparent decorative concrete stain. Color is earth fire (1 coat base-cedar blush, 1 coat accent-brownstone) 4 coats of low-lustre sealer. I had no issues with the sealer being milky. I used a cheap Home Depot brand (HDX) pump sprayer on the finest mist it could produce. The trick is keeping your sprayer moving and keep it very clean. Wash hose very well before changing product. Sealer will gum up, must wash out and get all excess water out of the line in between each coat. This is my 2nd project with this product, and couldn’t be happier with the results.

Yes, I recommend this product.
