Is there anything special about the way Gloster weaves its products?
We use a more textured, thicker type of wicker than most other manufacturers. Although this wicker is harder to weave, it is stronger, more resistant to tension, tearing and splitting. It also wears better and gives a more natural feel to the product as well as being extremely resistant to ultraviolet light and both chlorine and salt water resistant. Our woven furniture is 100% hand-woven, making each item as individual as the person who wove it and every part of the chair is covered in wicker to achieve an exceptional appearance. In addition, we ensure that all weaving is as tight and compact as possible. This minimises any gaps in the weave showing through to the exposed frame and also ensures the weaving is less likely to sag over time and with use.
