Deck stain - Behr Semi-Transparent Stain with Nanoguard
Hi
The local Home Depot is carrying a deck semi transparent stain - Behr "Premium Semi-Transparent Weatherproofing Deck, Fence & Siding Stain". The product info is at http://www.behr.com/behrx/act/view/p...in s&catId=12 This product is offering the longest time warranty of all the semi- transparent stains at the stores in my area - 6 years for horizontal surfaces and 8 years for vertical surfaces. The product description states that this is a "A semi-transparent stain featuring NANOGUARD® technology provides ultimate durability with water clean-up. This urethane-fortified penetrating formula..." Does anyone have experience with this in terms of longevity and how well it will wear? I have a moderate sized deck that is in full sun 10 AM to 6PM. Thanks Tom |

Can't comment on the longevity and wear of it, but we just used this to do our deck a few weeks ago. It was easy to use, went on no problem, looks good and cleaned up easily. |

Thanks Tom I don't have experience with this particular stain. Consumer Reports has had an on-going test of deck stains for about 10 years now. The opaque stains were the only ones that lasted more than about 3 years in full sun. Cabott oil base stain was the best performer. The clear products and semi-opaque products did not fare well.

Thanks Tom We used a similar product from Behr. My advice is to follow the label directions to the letter. We were told by someone at Home Depot that since we were sanding the deck we could apply the product directly. NOT TRUE. It flaked and peeled after the winter. Fortunately Behr was fantastic in that they advised us what we should have done and have reimbursed the cost of the product PLUS offset the cost of the prep material we need. Haven't had a chance to do the re-application, but I do believe they are a reputable company and we know from experience that they stand behind their products... even when one of their dealer gave bad advice.

Deck stain - Behr Semi-Transparent Stain with Nanoguard
Believe what you want but all the pros use Penofin and I've never seen
Penofin claim anything as long. I think their premium is about 1/2 of that. Behr products are fine products but never really top class, so it is hard to believe they can out perform the industry leader.

They will replace the stain if your deckdisappears in 6 years and you can PROVE it was applied properly? |

Deck stain - Behr Semi-Transparent Stain with Nanoguard
rollo had written this in response to
http://www.thestuccocompany.com/main...rd-237778-.htm : Another 2 cents: Here is a rule of thumb "You see a Bear in the woods, you stay still until it heads off, then run. You see a Behr in Home Depot, you just run..." As a contractor, 99 out of 100 contractors will tell you the same thing about Behr, in particular their deck stains/finishes. It really doesn't matter what kind of Behr it is, paint, stain, cleaner... just leave it alone and go to another store. Each project has different consideration. I usually use Penofin or Cabot and have reasonable success and the expectations are not unrealistic as will some other products.

First, semi transparent stains are a total waste of time and money, no matter what company makes them. The only stains that are durable are the opaque stains. If you want to see what paints and stains can do, I suggest visiting your local library and looking up Consumer reports for March 2008 page 34 and 35 - this is on interior paints. Next, in Consumer Reports June 2008 page 40 and 41 - this is on external paints and stains. You will see that BEHR paints and stains are, on average, as good as any other paints. |

Well RF, I am not sure what you are calling a load of propaganda. I never said any semi-transparent was any good, so it looks like you agree with me on that point. All acrylic exterior deck products are horrible. I have been doing decks for decades. I can always tell Behr from other products, it is the worst of the bad bunch. Anyone who has been in the business for any length of time will tell you that CR is not consistent with their paint/stain reports. You should check the upgraded report online, they changed it a month after that report in print. Consumer Report places more emphasis on price and ease of purchase overall than if product actually performs well, any cheeky little monkey knows that. If you think Behr is ''as good as any other paint" why even go to the CR report. I will run down to Big Lot's and buy some $5 a gallon paint and pour it a Behr can for you, if you will pay me $30 to do it. Believe what you want, it really doesn't matter. Any pro painter will tell you that Behr is not just bad but the bottom of the barrel, despite CR and the Home Depot marketing machine. You can try Cabot, TWF, Woolman's, SW- Woodscape, Penofin, Valspar even.... use marine varnish, wood wax, oils, resins, whatever.... You should never use Behr. Period..... Have fun with your CR reports, the rest of us actually USE the products to assess them. Roland Decks....... |
