Main summary
Key takeaways
Product reviewed
Seigneurie Gauthier (floor + ceiling paints) — tests/avis using multiple paint products from the brand, with the main focus on a two-component high-performance floor paint, followed by comparisons to other ceiling paints/brands.
Key features & performance (main floor paint: “Baiia Super… / High Speed for L2”)
Type
- Two-component high-quality floor paint
- Ready-to-use: not meant to be diluted.
Application on bare concrete
- Can be applied directly in coats on an unprepared / bare floor (bare slab).
Drying & recoat timeline
- Surface dry: ~30 minutes
- Light improvement / walkable after: ~3 hours
- Can be walked on after: ~3 hours
- Car usable / resistant after: ~24 hours
- Recoat strategy mentioned: double after ~3 hours, based on product behavior described.
Workability / application feel
- Described as workable and not runny
- Can be loaded heavily (roller spreading well)
- No visible streaking / very low “tracing” effect when applied properly
Hardness / scratch resistance
- After curing, the floor becomes very hard and resistant to scratches
Coverage / yield
- Coverage calculation was said to be as provided
- Reviewer claims he had more than enough paint for the job
- Yield claims were not perfectly consistent across products, but for this floor paint the “enough paint” outcome is emphasized
Odor / ventilation
- Smell exists, but described as “bearable” (not extremely “stinky”)
- In a confined space:
- Mask + good ventilation
- Wait 24 hours (or longer) before going back inside
- In a well-ventilated garage:
- You can enter after a few hours, after removing the coating
Pros (floor paint)
- Fast usable curing (walkable quickly; car-ready ~24h)
- Excellent trace-free finish (near-zero “tracing” under raking light)
- Works well even when applied to bare / poorly prepared slabs
- Very good hardness and scratch resistance
- Good consistency: liquid enough to roll/spread, thick enough to level nicely when applied properly
Cons (floor paint)
- Price: around €150 per coat for ~18 m²
- Can be ~€300+ for larger jobs / depending on whether two coats are needed
- Odor still present: needs ventilation/mask, especially indoors
Ratings given (floor paint)
- The reviewer gives “two stars” repeatedly for the main floor product.
- The transcript also mentions wording like “overall rating 10” / “1100 votes / 10 stars”, but the clearest explicit score tied to the floor paint is “two stars.”
Ceiling paints tested (secondary products)
Ceiling stain-blocking paint (nicotine/chimney marks; mold-related mention)
Purpose
- Blocks nicotine stains
- Handles chimney marks
- For stains on very old ceilings
- Mold-related concerns are mentioned
Performance
- Reviewer says it worked great on super old ceilings and additional tested surfaces
Yield
- Reported lower yield than advertised:
- Claimed: about ~10 m² per liter
- Reviewer experience: didn’t match the advertisement (“low yields”)
Odor
- Very low / minimal smell
- Slight resin smell
- Reviewer notes it wasn’t noticeable after about an hour even around 33–34°C with a window open
Tracing
- Zero to very good tracing results on the ceiling
Recoat timing
- Brand advises ~24h between coats on large ceilings
- Reviewer didn’t follow it, yet reports no tracing—suggesting forgiving performance
Application tips emphasized
- Constant stirring is required (resins settle)
- Use clean roller/brush
- Mixing tools/paints can cause mess
Pros
- Excellent stain-blocking behavior (vs old stains)
- Minimal odor
- No streaking / no significant tracing
Cons
- Yield mismatch vs expected/advertised performance
Rating for this ceiling paint: again “two stars.”
Another ceiling matte acrylic paint (water-based)
Type
- Matte acrylic, water-based
- Described as ready and not to dilute
Dry times (described)
- Renewable in ~6 hours
- ~3 hours to first “set”/dry lead time mentioned
- Coverage depends on surface:
- One area absorbs more
- Second coat improves results
Finish / visual quality
- Described as very pretty
- “Top-level” matte appearance
Smell / compliance
- Slight possible smell, but minimal
- Mentions low-emission compliance:
- Notes an EU limit around 30 g/L
- Claims about ~2 g/L, stated as within regulations
Pros
- Strong finish quality
- Less streaking than some other tested brand options
- Low-emissions/compliance claims stated as a plus
Cons
- Can look too white/bright in certain room conditions
- Reviewer mentions it felt extreme in one context (then later concludes it’s fine at normal room scale)
Comparison mentioned
- Reviewer prefers this paint’s coverage/matte behavior over a “Blatter Compagnie” paint
- Criticizes another “Burst from HP Pente” for more streaks and a poorer overall impression
Rating for this ceiling paint: described as high, using “two stars” again, with discussion positioning it as high-end.
Comparisons made with similar products/brands
-
Floor paint comparisons (competition):
- Reviewer contrasts odor/chemistry with typical competitor hardeners
- Claims this one is less unpleasant (less harsh chemical smell)
-
Ceiling paint comparisons:
- Mentions Magnat and Maestria / Himalaya / Baissier as examples of stain-blocking ceiling products
- Specific comparisons:
- Blatter Compagnie: reviewer found it worse (more streaks, less favorable coverage quality)
- HP Pente: described as construction-site style and not as good
- Mentions Benjamin Mauvit may be slightly more expensive (relative pricing discussion)
Overall user experience (what stands out)
The reviewer repeatedly emphasizes:
- Trace-free / no streaking results when technique is right
- Constant stirring and using clean tools
- Products are ready-to-use (avoid diluting or altering consistency)
- Odor matters, but is generally described as manageable with ventilation
Unique points mentioned (complete list from the transcript)
- Testing “taking paint testers”; multiple products from Seigneurie Gauthier
- Brand introduction via local retail/marketing contact (Thiais / Seigneurie counter)
- Main floor product: “Baiia Super New Product” (two-component floor paint)
- Reviewer avoids mentioning “smelly/runny” products; prioritizes durability
- High hardness / strong performance; skid behavior mentioned (“skid L1”)
- Can apply directly on bare floor
- Dry times: ~30 min surface; ~3h walkable/second coat; ~24h car-ready
- Coverage: estimated/calculated; reviewer had more than enough
- Workability: ready-to-roll, spreads well, can load paint heavily
- Example test on an unprepared slab (mortar pieces visible; no leveling compound)
- Odor: present but “bearable”; mask/ventilation; wait ~24h

- Cost: ~€150 per coat for ~18 m²; can become ~€300 depending on coats
- Pro-argument: flooring is easy to maintain and avoids dust/mess

- Ceiling yield: lower than advertised (claimed ~10 m²/L; felt lower)
- Ceiling odor: very low resin smell; not noticeable after an hour even in hot room
- Ceiling tracing: described as excellent / zero
- Recoat guidance: brand says wait 24h, but reviewer didn’t and still saw good results
- Technique: constant stirring, clean roller/brush, don’t mix rollers between different paints
- Ceiling matte acrylic: matte finish, water-based, not diluted
- Dry/recoat times for matte acrylic: ~3 hours and renewable in 6 hours
- Coverage depends on absorption: first coat drinks more than second
- Smell/compliance: low emission claim; mentions EU limit ~30 g/L and stated ~2 g/L
- Ceiling comparisons: better coverage/less streaking than Blatter Compagnie; better than HP Pente (as described)
- White/brightness concern in small rooms (bedroom-like), but acceptable at larger areas
- Positioning: entry/mid/high/top range discussion; described as high-end
- Ratings: repeated “two stars” per tested product; transcript also mentions “rating of 10” / “10 stars” wording
- Final recommendation: buy what you spend less on to save money; otherwise paints are “professional-level”
Speakers / multiple perspectives
- Single main speaker (the tester/reviewer) drives almost all content
- No clear separate speaker identity is provided; occasional “they”/brand mentions are not distinct speakers
Concise verdict / recommendation
Recommendation: The review strongly recommends Seigneurie Gauthier’s tested paints—especially the two-component high-speed floor coating—for durability, fast usable curing, and excellent trace-free results.
Main downsides: higher cost (about €150/coat for ~18 m²) and some odor requiring ventilation.
For ceilings, the stain-blocking matte paints are praised for low odor and very good finish, though yield may be lower than advertised.
