Outdoor wicker is one of the most enduringly popular materials available for patio furnishings, and its popularity has only increased with time. All-weather wicker patio furniture adds an elegant yet natural look to any outdoor space. But what sets it apart from other wickers? Let's look at the differences.
Rattan wicker (often just called "wicker" for indoor furniture) is a natural material that has been used for centuries to create furniture, planters, baskets, and other household items. This type of wicker is woven from rattan vines that grow in tropical climates, which gives your furniture a desirable earthy and organic look. Some might call it "rustic". As far as natural wood goes, natural rattan is fairly strong and holds up better than most other indoor materials when used outdoors. That said, synthetic wicker is much stronger and better-equipped to handle the weather no matter the season.
Today, what we call outdoor wicker furniture is made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that is meticulously engineered, textured, and woven to look and feel just like natural wicker, but far more durable, and with a distinctly modern design sensibility.Synthetic wicker also offers much more versatility and customization options over natural rattan furniture due to its wide range of colors and finishes. As a blend of high density polyethylene resin and natural rattan fibers, modern outdoor icker furniture can look and feel pretty much however you want it to, from earthy gray and espresso tones to vivid bright colors. HDPE wicker is solution dyed, never painted, so you don't have to worry about your colors fading or chipping off in the sun. And what's more, it can be tailored to fit even tight spots or complex designs much better than conventional rattan furniture can.
One important distinction to make before you shop: Beware PVC outdoor wicker! This is the cheap stuff you find at super discounted rates at those stores everyone shops at; you know the ones. HDPE is flexible, fadeproof, scratch resistant, and is solution dyed during pre-processing so its color stays sharp for its entire lifetime. PVC "wicker" is far less malleable (in fact, it gets absolutely brittle in the sun after a few seasons) and is prone to breaking. PVC is not fadeproof and the "wicker" fibers are dyed after being manufactured, so it's just a cheap coat of color over the top. The only way PVC compares to HDPE is in its water resistance - HDPE and PVC are both waterproof, unlike natural rattan. But don't be misled: in every other way, PC wicker is an inferior product. Opt for HDPE instead; check our catalog for the web's best collection of HDPE patio wicker furniture!
All weather wicker made with HDPE is one of our favorite materials for patio pieces for a great number of reason, but in brief, here are some of the highlights:
But hey, don't just take our word for it. Here are a few more data points worth considering:
When shopping for outdoor wicker furniture, there are a few things to keep in mind.
When choosing wicker patio furniture, take into account the local climate as well as your personal style. Color and design can vary widely, but it's important to consider what will last best in the environment where the furniture will be used. For example, if you live in a hot and humid region, lighter colors may be more appropriate to reduce heat absorption. If you live in a cold area with harsh winters, dark colors may be better for the colder months. Texture choice is also an important factor, as certain materials fade faster than others when exposed to UV rays from the sun.
In addition, consider the overall color scheme of your existing patio decor when selecting new furniture. Take into account the shape, size, pattern and texture of all pieces when designing your outdoor space - when done right, even small additions can have a big impact! Be sure to pay attention to the conversation between elements, like the organic curves of a wicker settee or the smooth texture of rattan end tables, while choosing complimentary colors and patterns. Doing this will help you create an outdoor haven that reflects your personality while also compensating for any particular weather issues related to your region.
Today, modernist design adds a contemporary twist to classic wickerwork. Clean-cut, symmetrical lines are the hallmark of this type of furniture and set it apart from its more timeless counterparts. Modern wicker comes in warmer shades than the traditional versions and often incorporates other outdoor-grade furniture materials such as powder-coated cast aluminum frames, plastic or sling mesh, stainless steel, and natural all-weather hardwoods like teak. This look is ideal for anyone who wants to add a touch of modern sophistication to their patio with minimal fuss.
At Patio Productions, we strive to offer the most vibrant, varied, and fun selection of outdoor wicker furniture imaginable. We like to mix and match materials and styles to deliver only the most interesting high quality wicker furniture to you. We are constantly tinkering and experimenting with the furniture we present both online and in store.
Contemporary patio design principles extend beyond simply updating the aesthetic of your patio furniture, though- when paired with accents and decor that include natural textures and colors, our modern wicker furniture pieces will give your patio a simultaneously energetic but serene atmosphere -at least, that is what we hope for! Balance and peace and comfort. Style and fun and verve.
We offer a wide variety of outdoor wicker furniture to fit any taste, style, and budget. Our collection includes wicker chairs, sofas, dining sets, and more, all made with high-quality HDPE wicker that is designed to withstand the elements and look absolutely stunning for years to come.
