Materials used.

Conservatory furniture is designed to be both stylish and durable, as it's often exposed to varying temperatures and humidity levels due to its placement in a sunroom or garden room. The materials used for conservatory furniture must be able to withstand sunlight, moisture, and changes in temperature. Here are some of the most common materials used:

1. Rattan

• Description: A popular material for conservatory furniture, rattan is a flexible and durable vine often woven into furniture frames and seats.
• Why it's used: It’s lightweight, flexible, and natural-looking, providing a casual, tropical aesthetic. Rattan can be synthetic (made from resin) or natural, with synthetic rattan being particularly resistant to outdoor elements.
• Maintenance: Rattan furniture needs to be cleaned regularly, and natural rattan may need protection from direct exposure to moisture and intense sunlight.

2. Wicker

• Description: Wicker refers to the weaving technique used to create furniture, often using rattan, but also other materials like bamboo, willow, or synthetic fibers.
• Why it's used: Wicker creates intricate, decorative patterns that are stylish for sunrooms and conservatories. It offers a vintage, rustic, or coastal look.
• Maintenance: Regular dusting and cleaning are needed, and protective coatings can help maintain wicker furniture's durability

9. Bamboo, Cane

• Description: Bamboo is an eco-friendly, lightweight wood that is often used for frames or accent pieces in conservatory furniture.
• Why it's used: Bamboo provides a natural, rustic look and is quite durable while being resistant to wear and tear.
• Maintenance: Bamboo should be regularly cleaned and occasionally treated with wood polish to maintain its sheen and prevent splitting.
