PE Open Weave Rattan Cane Webbing
Our PE Open Weave Rattan Cane Webbing combines the timeless appearance of traditional cane with the outstanding durability of modern synthetic materials. Manufactured from premium polyethylene (PE), this weather-resistant weave has been designed for projects where natural rattan may not be suitable, particularly in outdoor, high-humidity or commercial environments.
Featuring the classic open weave (hexagonal) pattern, this synthetic rattan provides the same elegant aesthetic as natural cane while offering superior resistance to moisture, UV exposure, mould and everyday wear. It is an excellent choice for furniture makers, cabinet makers, hospitality businesses and DIY renovators seeking a low-maintenance alternative that delivers lasting performance.
Unlike natural cane, PE rattan does not require soaking before installation and will not shrink as it dries. Its flexibility, strength and colour consistency make it easier to work with while producing a professional finish suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Whether you're restoring outdoor furniture, creating custom cabinetry or designing decorative feature panels, PE Open Weave offers a practical solution without compromising on style.
