How to create a non-reflective finish on concrete outdoor chairs?

Concrete outdoor chairs are durable and stylish, but their glossy finish can sometimes create unwanted glare. If you prefer a matte, non-reflective look, here’s how to achieve it:

1. Sand the Surface: Lightly sand the concrete with fine-grit sandpaper (120-220 grit) to remove shine and create a slightly rough texture.

2. Apply a Matte Sealer: Use a concrete sealer specifically designed for a non-reflective finish. Water-based acrylic sealers often provide a matte effect.

3. Use a Concrete Stain or Dye: Opt for matte-finish stains or dyes, which absorb light rather than reflecting it.

4. Add a Textured Coating: Consider applying a textured overlay or micro-topping for a completely glare-free surface.

5. Maintain the Finish: Clean with mild soap and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the matte appearance.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a sleek, non-reflective finish on your concrete outdoor chairs.
