What Is PE Rattan? What Is All Weather Dining Set With Weaving Style?

True rattan, made from the natural fibers of a plant related to palm trees, is similar to cane or bamboo. It's used in decor and furnishings such as rugs and chairs. While rattan home accessories add a natural vibe to just about any environment, it does not hold up well in certain conditions. Synthetic polyethylene rattan, or "PE rattan," emulates the look of actual rattan, in man-made form.

PE and Synthetic Rattans
PE rattan withstands the outdoor elements outdoors, and it can handle humid or damp conditions, unlike natural rattan, which breaks down or becomes mildewed in wet environments. PE rattan is just one type of synthetic rattan; other types include PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PE rattan is recyclable, unlike these other synthetics, and it lasts longer than less expensive PVC rattan. PE rattan is designed to look like natural rattan, with some color variations throughout the material.

Polyethylene (PE) resin rattan, also known as resin wicker, polyrattan, synthetic resin, is a manmade material, rather than a natural wicker rattan. This is a key benefit for garden furniture because the material does not degrade as quickly as natural wicker. PE rattan mimicks wicker by offering the same flexibility and comfort but it offers much better durability. This ensures that it is able to withstand all that the British climate throws at it and will help your garden furniture look as good as new year after year.
