What can rattan sheets be used for?
It is an extremely versatile material, used for refurbishing furniture or for creating new products. It is ideal for making rattan door panels, thin radiator cover, rattan lamp shades, and rattan room divider panels. As a radiator cover panel, the perforated structure of the sheets makes them perfect for this purpose. It allows heat to pass through efficiently, so the radiator’s performance is not reduced. It can provide a space with either a modern or rustic appearance. They are also ideal as a base for rattan lamp shades, because the rattan material is easily shapeable when wet, allowing for unique designs. A rattan lamp shade made this way emits a warm, diffused light, creating a cosy atmosphere.

Can rattan sheets be painted or stained?
Yes, but it is not easy; only certain types of paint or stain are suitable. The shiny front side of the tonett rattan by the roll does not absorb paint or stain readily. For best results, it is recommended to use Beisen lacquer or a dye mixed into shellac. Watch our video on staining rattan sheets if you need assistance. Always perform a test paint on a small area before treating the entire surface. Once dry, test the surface, as many stains and varnishes may not adhere and can be wiped off. It requires minimal maintenance: regular dusting and dry wiping.
