How are polyrattan furniture made?
To manufacture flat woven resin furniture, manufacturers or artisans use metal structures made of aluminum or, more traditionally, structures made of natural rattan. While rattan structures are quite durable, aluminum structures are much more so. They are resistant to moisture and sun and can remain outdoors in all weather conditions. This increases the lifespan of the furniture.
The methods used to produce quality resin give it properties such as:
