What Type of Finish and Surface Appearance Do You Want to Achieve?

If you're after a wet look to enhance the appearance of colored finishes, choose a sealer with a medium- to high-gloss sheen. Most acrylic sealers are available in a range of sheen levels. Solvent-based acrylics generally enhance color better than water-based products. For an additional color boost, you can even create color washes with some acrylic sealers by mixing in powdered or liquid tints.

For applications where a shiny or wet look is not desirable, you can also find film-forming sealers with matte or low-gloss finishes. There are even "flattening agents" available that can be mixed into some sealers to control the level of gloss. Another option is to use a penetrating sealer that won't leave a surface film.

In high-traffic areas, the slip resistance of a sealer may also be important. For these surfaces, look for a sealer that exceeds ASTM D2047 slip-resistance requirements.
