Rattan peel furniture
Rattan peel furniture are made of natural
materials found in Southeast Asia, and both make popular outdoor patio
furniture. Because they are not derived from the scarce resources of wood,
both rattan and wicker are good for the environment.
Rattan is the name of a particular plant that grows to several hundred feet
high in tropical forests. It is extremely strong and will not splinter or
break. Rattan is easily molded into the desired shape for furniture and once
it dries, the shape is retained permanently. The outer peel of the rattan
pole is used to
wrap joints securely.
A whole rattan peel furniture pole may be used to create spiral designs for
arm rests, legs or backs of furniture. The outer part of the rattan is
peeled off, then heated and bent into shape. Rattan poles can also form the
frame of a couch or chair with wicker weave panels as a finishing touch.
Wicker is considered a type of rattan weave, but it can also be produced
from cane, reed, willow, rush, and other natural materials. It is pliable
when wet so the strands can be woven tightly together. When dry, the
finished product is sealed, sanded, and then stained and lacquered to the
desired color.
Wicker furniture is available in many of the same colors and stains as wood.
The most common colors include natural, pewter, honey wheat, sage and
bronze. Add colorful cushions to make the furniture bright, cheerful – and
softer to sit on.
Maintaining rattan and wicker deck furniture is easy. All it requires is
regular, light dusting with a damp cloth, or vacuuming with a brush
attachment. Any spill should be immediately wiped up with a mild detergent
and a minimum
amount of water.
Furniture made of rattan and wicker include chairs, tables, footstools, and
bar sets. Because it is such a versatile material, chairs range from broad,
low-sitting styles with high backs and arm rests to basic dining-room styled
chairs. Table tops are made of wood, metal, or glass and occasionally rattan
peel furniture.
Rattan peel furniture and wicker furniture add class to any deck, but
depending on the style, it is not always very comfortable. Cushions will
solve that problem. Some sets come complete with cushions in your choice of
style, color and fabric.
Floral patterns, stripes and solid colors are common for outdoor cushions.
Floral have an advantage over solids as they do not show the dirt as
readily. However, all fabrics fade in the sun, and solid colors retain a
more attractive appearance as they fade. With the exception of cushions,
wicker and rattan peel furniture is durable and can easily stay outside all
year around. It is not susceptible to rust, mildew or rotting, and paint
will not chip. Rattan and wicker material expands and contracts with a
change in temperature - without damage so it works well in a variety of
environments for other
hand crafted furniture.
