Installation Guide

Natural cane should always be soaked in clean water before installation. Soaking softens the fibres, allowing the material to stretch and fit securely into furniture frames.

Once installed using the appropriate spline and adhesive, the cane gradually dries and tightens naturally, creating a firm, professional finish.

For the best results:

• Measure your furniture carefully before ordering.

• Allow sufficient overlap when cutting.

• Soak the cane thoroughly before fitting.

• Secure using the correct spline.

• Allow the cane to dry completely before use.

Care & Maintenance

Natural rattan performs best when kept indoors and away from prolonged exposure to direct weather.

To maintain its appearance:

• Dust regularly using a soft cloth.

• Clean gently with a damp cloth when required.

• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

• Maintain moderate indoor humidity to help preserve flexibility.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

With proper care, natural cane furniture can remain beautiful for many years.
