Rattan, also known as rotang palm, is a fast-growing liana-like creeper that originates from the primeval forests of Southeast Asia. It can grow lianas up to 200 meters long, some with a diameter of 5 cm. We can say that rattan is one of the longest plants on Earth.

The material of the item number TH-1/2-60-N is perforated reed braid, also known as tonet, rattan reed fabric or Spanish reed, which in the past was mainly used for the seating surface of chairs. The load capacity of the N-marked tonet material is slightly lower than that of the S-marked reed braid. Our customers buy the N-marked cane webbing mainly as radiator cover material, door fronts and cabinet door inserts, or for repairing cane chairs. During home renovation and furniture renovation (thonet chair), many people plan to install rattan room dividers, and rattan fabric is a good choice for this as well.

S, N or D - what does the letter mean in the article numbers?

This is the designation of three different tonett fabric qualities.

S, i.e. Superior - special quality, good load-bearing capacity, so this thonet material is the most suitable for renovating and caning the thonet chair.

N, i.e. Normal – first-class reed braid, butter-colored, most people buy it as a material for radiator covers or door front inserts.

D - i.e. Decoration - white, maybe lower in quality, but the price is more favorable. Many people are looking for this: rattan room divider for decor purposes.

What types of thonet materials are there? Which is good for what? 

Should I use ½ and ⅝ hole pitch material?

There are several types of hole-punched thonet material. At Naturtrend we basically stock two halves. Their pattern can have a similar repetition of ½ and ⅝ col, you can read this from the product code. e.g. TH-½-60-S

Which one do you need? If you buy new, whichever you prefer. If you are replacing an existing one, it is important that it is the same, you can calculate it as follows:

Calculate the hole pitch. 

1col - 2.54 cm 

How many holes are there in 1 inch? 2.1 cm - 1 inch 1 inch 1.5 cm - 4 holes in 5.5 cm. Measure from the rightmost yarn to the rightmost yarn of the 4th hole.  

5.5 cm / 2.54 cm = 2.16 cm 

2.16 / 4 (holes) = ½

So the thonet webbing is ½.

How many holes are there in 1 inch? 6.9 cm has 4 holes. Measure from the rightmost yarn to the rightmost yarn of the 4th hole.  

6.9 cm / 2.54 cm = 2.71 cm

2,71 / 4 = 0,677

So the thonet webbing is ⅝.

The fabric should be measured both horizontally and vertically, as the fabric may be slightly distorted. 

And with old hand-stitched chairs, it is easy to get neither of the hole pitches exactly right.
