collections from all over the world. Ranging from the most basic enduring
styles to the highest fashion and designer statements, these collections
offer commercial quality in every category. Eye appeal is the basic
difference between the collections, with fashion and styling enhancements
and the amount of detail and refinement incorporated into the furniture
accounting for the difference in cost. The quality and strength of
the materials and construction of all collections is comparable. |

Wicker originally referred to products
that were made from reed, cane, rush, willow or other natural materials.
When wet, these materials are pliable enough to be woven and shaped
into furniture. Natural wicker and natural rattan can be stained or
painted depending on the type of look one wishes to obtain. In today's
marketplace special sealants are used on these materials thus making
them satisfactory for inside use or limited outside exposure.
Rattan is a vine that grows primarily in the
tropical forests of the Far East and Pacific Basin. Growing hundreds
of feet in length, it is one of nature's strongest materials. It does
not splinter or break easily and is ideal for making furniture and
other related objects. Once molded and shaped, rattan retains its
contours permanently. Originally used inside for the most part, today's
sealants, if properly applied, are satisfactory for limited outside
exposure.
Vinyl, Resin and Polyurethane synthetics
are often used today in the production of wicker and rattan products.
These materials have evolved and been improved in quality enough to
be as tough or tougher than the natural products they replace. The
wicker or rattan made from these synthetic products can be used inside
or outside. Inside, the furniture can be as rich and stylish as any
natural product, and outside it can endure the effects of weather
and sunlight remarkably well. Most of the framework on this type of
furniture is made from aluminum, and is weather resistant when used
outdoors. It works well indoors also. PLEASE NOTE: There are many
grades of synthetic materials. It behooves the consumer to research
the market, and place their trust in a company that supplies a quality
product produced with quality materials. This is especially true for
commercial usage.
Woven Loom Wicker is
a paper pulp that is shaped into strands like natural wicker. These
strands are dried and treated with special sealants, and then woven
into wicker furniture. This product is a natural paper product, can
be painted just like natural wicker and is recommended for inside
or limited exposure outside. The frames on this type of furniture
are usually made from aluminum.
Peel is
the outer skin of the rattan pole and traditionally has been used
to wrap joints on natural wicker and rattan furniture. In today's
market and especially on most all of the better wicker and rattan
products, leather is used instead of peel on the
natural wicker and rattan products. On the synthetic products, synthetic
materials are used instead of peel or leather.
Limited
Exposure is furniture that can be used outside, but should
be shielded from direct exposure to the sun or other weather elements.
It is recommended that it be used under a roof or balcony covering.
