The versatility of synthetic rattan in adapting to different requirements.

In previous articles, we have talked about the main characteristics of synthetic rattan, among which stands out the versatility of this product in adapting to different projects. Synthetic Rattan is a product that is obtained by mixing various raw materials and by using sophisticated manufacturing techniques that allow the manufacturers of this product to alter its size, colour or shape. At present, there are 4 main collections of synthetic rattan which are flat, round, half moon and seagrass; However, each of these collections is characterized by a different physical shape from the others, there is a common denominator and the model of these collections can be customized, i.e. the manufacturers of synthetic rattan can mix colours, increase or reduce the width or thickness of the rattan and in certain occasions they can customize the rattan and make it fireproof.

The versatility of synthetic rattan in adapting to different projects has become one of the main factors that have driven the use of this material. Nowadays we can find synthetic rattan furniture and accessories in every corner of the home and hospitality establishments. Nowadays synthetic rattan is not only used to make furniture for the terrace or garden but also to make more products such as flower pots, baskets or bags and this is mainly due to the wide variety of colours and shapes in which manufacturers can produce this material, in short, the option to customize the material according to the needs of the people has caused more people to use this material in new projects.

Different requests for Customization of Synthetic Rattan

Synthetic rattan is a material primarily used for the manufacture of outdoor furniture, however as climatic conditions, market demand for colours and patterns, and the cost of labour tend to vary from country to country, the demands for purchasing and customization of this material also vary. Below are some examples of colour, size, and mixed customization of synthetic rattan.

Colour Customization

This is undoubtedly the most requested rattan customization option by many furniture manufacturers and is mainly due to the trends or preferences of their potential customers. To help the customer, manufacturers often want to customize the colours of a certain model of synthetic rattan to produce furniture that perfectly matches the style of their customers’ gardens, terraces, or living rooms. Here is an example where one of our customers chose the Seagrass rattan model BM-90170 for the manufacture of a range of furniture and asked us to customize the colour of the material and manufacture it according to the colours of the rattan models BM-4239 and BM-4259.

Size customization

Manufacturers of furniture and accessories request size customization of synthetic rattan mainly to make the material fit the type of projects they plan to make. Some manufacturers prefer the material to be larger and flatter because it saves time and capital during the weaving process, other manufacturers prefer smaller sizes because it means more metres of material per kg.

This is a clear example where a customer asked us to change the size of the flat rattan model BM-32811, the original size of this model was 7×1.0mm, and after customization, we got the flat rattan model BM32811-P-3 with the new size 10×1.5mm.

Mixed customization（colour and size）

This process consists of customizing a synthetic rattan model based on two factors: colour and size. It is worth mentioning that this is a process that can be done with any collection of rattan. You can choose a size from another rattan model as a reference or choose a random size. Regarding the colour, you can select the unit colour as well as mixed colouring, the new material will have the appearance according to the customer’s indications.

Here is an example of a mixed customization of a synthetic rattan model. In this project, the client asked us to manufacture the material according to the colour of model BM-90128 （1） but the material had to have the size of model BM-9938 （2）and as a result we obtained the new model of synthetic rattan BM-90218（3).
