How do I Benefit from Using Rattan Laminate?

Rattan laminate is a new surfacing material that has been developed to look like natural rattan. It is a more affordable alternative to natural rattan furniture. The following are some of the benefits of using rattan laminate in your home:

Eco-friendly

Rattan may be a sustainable material, but many rattan species are threatened with extinction due to the rising demand for authentic rattan products. With rattan laminates, you can reduce this demand while minimising the risk of biodiversity loss.

Easy to Maintain

Natural rattan furniture generally requires optimum care due to the weaving pattern. But, with rattan laminates, the weaving patterns are printed on the laminates for an authentic look, feel, and texture of the material. This also makes them easy to maintain.

Affordability

Natural rattan products typically come with hefty price tags. On the other hand, rattan laminates are the more affordable alternative, allowing homeowners like you to incorporate them into your home. Be it on your walls or furniture.

Durability

High-pressure rattan laminates generally require a low amount of maintenance with proper and regular care. When the edges of rattan laminates are glued properly, they can withstand moisture for a few decades. They are also durable against scratches.

Versatility

Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, rattan laminates come in multiple designs and colours, allowing you to customise the look of your home. You also get to mix and match the different designs to add some personality to your home.
