Choice is everything in modern retail and you have to keep and be competitive, we realise that, but the one thing you should never compromise is the quality standards.
It’s very easy to be left with a piece of outdoor furniture that doesn’t last five minutes.
The many faces of Synthetic Rattan …
Where synthetic rattan is concerned you also have to be very wary of the quality in the choice you are being offered.
Any synthetic rattan set – in fact, anything - can be made to look good in a Showroom or through pictures on an internet ecommerce website but, let’s face it, most of us are familiar with the sinking feeling we get when we realise that supposed piece of long lasting quality we paid for actually turns out to be something quite the opposite.
And that’s where many retailers go wrong with the outdoor rattan they sell – they may offer the huge variety and choice we talked of at what seems like a very reasonable price, but they compromise on the quality.
Meaning you end up with a synthetic rattan set that fades and goes brittle over time with poorly woven rattan that loosens around the frame and ends up detracting from, as opposed to adding to, the look and feel of your outdoor space.
No compromise at The Garden Furniture Centre …
We are in the fortunate position to have been sourcing synthetic rattan for over two decades and in that time we’ve worked hard to ensure the quality of the fibres we buy.
Over the years we’ve settled on two manufacturers …
Ecolene and ViroFiber offer the highest quality rattan fibres with a three year guarantee from the date of purchase.
It is this guarantee and a number of other factors associated with their manufacturing processes that have led us to place our trust in the quality they offer.
- They tolerate a temperature range from -70 to +70 degrees Celsius meaning the colour does not fade or degrade.
- They are eco-friendly and contain no harmful Cadmium, Lead or Chromium that other manufacturers still use and can harm the environment.
- The textured surfaces look and feel like natural rattan.
- They have a high resistance to water of all types including sea water and chlorinated water.
- They are 100% recyclable.
- They’re easy to wipe down; requiring little maintenance.
- The colours are just as vibrant as those in the natural rattan varieties.
