Definition
Twisted plastic rattan combines multiple PE strands or a formed twist to create shadow, texture, and a more irregular handwoven appearance.
Application and Frame Fit
Accent chair backs, basket details, sofa panels, trims, screens, and decorative open weaving.
| Suitable frames | Frames with smooth guides and openings large enough to avoid untwisting or crushing the textured cord. |
|---|---|
| Furniture styles | Craft-led, rustic-modern, accent weave, and mixed-profile furniture. |
| Size selection logic | Measure the finished outside diameter and compressed diameter because twist structure changes at crossings and bends. |
Buyer Decision Points
Check twist consistency, strand separation, snagging, compression, color balance, and end finishing.
Sample Confirmation Method
Cut, anchor, cross, and bend the sample exactly as production will; inspect whether the twist opens or changes color balance.
FAQ
Does a stronger twist always give more texture?
It can, but excessive twist may reduce flexibility or open at tight bends. The approved panel should define the acceptable appearance.
