Everything You Need to Know About Reed Matting!
What is reed good for? Where can we use reed matting?
Reed has always been highly valued by humans. Even in ancient times, it was used for making shelters and beds. Later, reed roofing became widespread, as the material was easily accessible, durable, and relatively easy to repair. It was also used in walls and interior spaces for partitioning and decoration, and it even appeared in folk art. Today, this classic building and decorative material is back in fashion. But what can it be used for?
Partitioning
A practical application area is for separating indoor spaces, balconies, terraces, and hospitality areas, creating a private environment without complete isolation.
Fencing
Reed matting can be easily and quickly installed, it can be easily attached to almost anything, cut to size without any hassle, and makes for a very practical privacy fence that can be set up within hours.
Shading
It creates a great atmosphere on a pergola, whether used on the roof or on the sides. The semi-shade provided by filtered light is perfect for relaxing and chatting. In the evening, adding a bit of mood lighting can turn a pergola covered with reed matting into a cozy, intimate space.
Insulation
Reed matting can also be used for insulation: it is excellent for use on walls, in attics, or for insulating ceilings. This method has been proven for centuries, and its effectiveness can be increased by layering.
