The Durability of Synthetic Rattan Garden Furniture

Introduction

Explanation of synthetic rattan Furniture and Types of Synthetic Rattan Garden Furniture

Synthetic rattan, which imitates natural rattan, is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is colorless, non-toxic and obtained under low pressure, so there is no harm to the environment during its manufacture. Garden furniture manufactured from Synthetic rattan has become the best choice for many people when choosing furniture for outdoor decoration because of its high quality and durability, as this material is colorless, resistant to weather, and does not crack. The versatility of this material allows the customization of the final product, which is why it is used in the manufacture of sofas, tables, loungers and other outdoor furniture whose use is long-lasting.

The flexibility of synthetic rattan allows it to adopt different shapes (flat, oval, round, seaweed, etc.) so that garden furniture made from this material is not determined by a single style, which is why the trend in demand for these products has remained upward over the years.

Process of Elaboration

Materials and Tecniques

The technology used in the production of synthetic rattan furniture is quite complex, it is a process that uses special high-tech equipment and manual labor, i.e. the production starts with the preparation of a tape of synthetic rattan, which is then usually woven on an aluminum frame (or other outdoor resistant material), to form a garden furniture much more resistant to outdoor conditions than those made of natural rattan.

After obtaining the rattan fiber, the factory masters use very sophisticated techniques combining the polyethylene-based material with a metal frame. Based on the needs of both the company and the customer, this combination of rattan fiber and metal results in outdoor and/or indoor furniture of high quality, flexible, elegant, and tolerant to environmental change, so that the life span of outdoor furniture made of synthetic rattan is longer than that of furniture made of other materials.
