- Stamped and decorative concrete
- Patios and pool decks
- High gloss wet look
- Budget friendly acrylic sealing
A budget high-solids acrylic that delivers a glossy wet look on stamped and decorative concrete, patios, and pool decks. Best for homeowners who want an affordable, easy-to-find decorative sealer and accept more frequent resealing.
Pros
- Inexpensive and widely stocked, giving a strong high-gloss wet look on stamped concrete
- Non-yellowing acrylic that enriches color on decorative and exposed-aggregate concrete
- Easy roller or sprayer application with a fast 4-hour recoat window
Cons
- As a thin acrylic film it wears and needs reapplication sooner than premium paver sealers
- Can trap moisture or whiten if applied over damp concrete or before release agent is fully cleaned off
- Glossy film gets slippery when wet unless a traction additive is mixed in

Frequently Asked Questions
- How glossy is BEHR Wet-Look Sealer?
- Very — 80-90 gloss at 60 degrees, which is a strong wet look that enriches stamped and exposed-aggregate concrete. It is non-yellowing acrylic, so the shine does not turn amber over time.
- What causes a sealer to turn white or cloudy?
- Applying over damp concrete or before the release agent is fully cleaned off — the film traps moisture and hazes. Let the slab dry thoroughly and clean it properly first; this failure is very hard to fix afterwards.
- Is a glossy sealer slippery?
- Yes when wet, unless you mix in a traction additive. On a pool deck or a sloped patio that additive is effectively required rather than optional. Coverage runs 200-450 sq ft per gallon with a 4-hour recoat.
