WHY CHOOSE BEHR PREMIUM^® SEMI-TRANSPARENT STAIN & SEALER?

Our most advanced formula weathers it all.

UV Protection

Behr’s Semi-Transparent Stain is formulated to protect wood from drying out and cracking under direct sunlight, keeping your deck looking great summer after summer.

Rain Protection

Our water resistant formula ensures that surface water beads on contact. This helps to protect your deck from water that could soak deep into the wood substrate, causing water damage.

Winter Protection

BEHR PREMIUM Stain can withstand snow, rain and ice and with our Low-temperature Protection paired with an advanced durable finish, you can be confident that it will weather any weather.

USE THE PROPER TOOLS

Best results are achieved when you use the recommended tools.

For best results, a pad applicator is recommended over large areas.
Use a nylon/polyester brush for areas requiring more accuracy.
Use ¾″ nap or longer when appropriate.
A high quality pump sprayer with a variable tip or an airless sprayer with a .015 - .019″ tip may be used.

Use 3/8” nap or longer when appropriate. A high quality pump sprayer with a variable tip or an airless sprayer with a .015 - .019" tip may be used.

Work in small sections lightly saturating the surface and immediately back-brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling, remove excess and evenly distribute the stain.
