Absolutely! When ordering park benches, specifying a matte finish instead of a glossy one is a common and typically straightforward request. Most manufacturers and suppliers offer a range of finish options to suit different aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
A matte finish provides a non-reflective, subdued surface that blends naturally into outdoor environments like parks and gardens. It's often chosen for its ability to conceal minor scratches and fingerprints more effectively than a glossy coat. From a practical standpoint, a matte surface can also reduce glare on sunny days, enhancing comfort for users.
The availability will depend on the material of the bench. For metal benches, powder coating is the standard method, and matte powder coat finishes are widely available and highly durable. For wooden benches, a matte protective sealant or oil can be applied. For synthetic or composite benches, the finish is usually integral to the material, so you would select the product line that offers a matte texture.
When placing your order, simply communicate your preference for a "matte finish" clearly. It's advisable to request a finish sample or swatch to confirm the exact look and texture. Discuss the long-term maintenance requirements as well, as some matte finishes may require specific cleaning methods. There is usually no significant price difference between standard matte and glossy options, making it a simple choice based on your project's design and practical goals.
