Rattan is a palm native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Rattan is similar to bamboo but unlike bamboo their stems are solid. Ratan is excellent for making furniture such was window blinds and can be painted or stained so it can be available in many colors.
Bamboo is excellent for making furniture such as window blinds because it is a renewable resource. Bamboo grows quickly and can easily regrow when it is cut. Our tavarua bamboo shades are made from wild grown bamboo that is not treated with any pesticides or chemicals making them eco-friendly window coverings.
