Round Synthetic Rattan
In previous articles we have talked about the different characteristics and properties of synthetic rattan in a generalised way. It is a plastic rattan model designed to replicate the look and feel of natural rattan. Unlike natural rattan, which is prone to weathering, fading and moisture damage, synthetic round rattan is made from high quality polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fibres. This product perfectly imitates the round shape of natural rattan. It imitates the organic texture of natural rattan and at the same time offers greater durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The name round comes from the shape of the synthetic rattan models that belong to this collection. They are synthetic rattan models that have the shape of a circle or oval, thus offering a visually attractive and versatile model for the manufacture of different furniture and accessories.
