Definition
Flat plastic rattan is a ribbon-shaped PE profile whose width, thickness, surface texture, and edge behavior affect coverage and weaving tension.
Application and Frame Fit
Wide woven surfaces on dining chairs, sofas, loungers, baskets, and decorative panels.
| Suitable frames | Aluminum or steel frames with smooth corners and a bend radius proven by a frame-mounted sample. |
|---|---|
| Furniture styles | Broad wicker panels, tight basket weave, two-tone patterns, and natural-look outdoor furniture. |
| Size selection logic | Choose width for visual coverage, thickness for body and bend behavior, then verify both at the intended weave spacing. |
Buyer Decision Points
Compare edge condition, whitening at bends, surface marking, color under tension, and roll-to-roll profile stability.
Sample Confirmation Method
Weave the sample around the smallest production corner and across a representative panel before approving it.
FAQ
Is a wider flat strip always faster to weave?
No. Width can increase coverage, but frame geometry, weave pattern, stiffness, and the required visual spacing determine actual production speed.
