Definition
Round plastic rattan is a circular PE cord selected by diameter, solid or hollow construction, flexibility, and surface finish.
Application and Frame Fit
Frame wrapping, open lattice, chair backs, borders, basket work, and rope-like woven details.
| Suitable frames | Tubular aluminum or steel frames with rounded transitions and anchors that hold the chosen cord tension. |
|---|---|
| Furniture styles | Open weave, cane-like lattice, wrapped edges, and handwoven furniture with visible depth. |
| Size selection logic | Match diameter to the opening size and bend radius; larger diameters create stronger relief but need more room at crossings. |
Buyer Decision Points
Check diameter tolerance, ovality, rebound, surface scratching, and whether hollow profiles flatten under production tension.
Sample Confirmation Method
Test knots, crossings, and the tightest frame wrap using the actual worker technique and tension.
FAQ
Should round rattan be solid or hollow?
The choice depends on weight, cost, bend radius, and compression at crossings. Approve the construction by testing it on the real frame.
