Beware of Behr!

So the floor looked pretty good...but...we found out that the Behr "stain" is not actually a stain, but more of a watered down latex paint. It has already scuffed and while we'll touch up and reseal with something else, down the road we'll have to redo it.

We feel let down but it's a lesson learned:

Is your Behr latex paint still on your concrete floor? If not, don't feel bad. As a professional concrete resurfacer, Behr is keeping us busy! Both Behr (Home Depot) and Quikcrete (Lowes) concrete 'stain' is nothing other than watered down latex paint, and it will peel off your concrete in a matter of months, just like ANY paint you apply to concrete. Avoid these mis-labeled and mis-leading products at all costs. Our company has a portfolio of failed concrete where the homeowner used these two products. It is a film-forming latex acrylic coating, not a stain! Oh, for truth-in-labeling in this country....

If you really want to stain your concrete, there are a couple decent non-acid stains that look great, but I believe they are only available to contractors. Anyone can dump acid on their concrete and see what happens...but if you want to do it well, its very tricky
