Beautiful and Eco-friendly, Lauhala matting is hand woven into 1" checkered pattern from strong, durable and flexible organic Hala leaves which allows it to bend without snapping. The edges are double bound for additional strength. There is a natural variation of colors within each mat from golden to brown hues that will add a unique, classy and rustic look to any space. The artistry of the braiding or "plaits" and the durability of the material brings tropical beauty indoors and is rugged enough to enliven outside bars and pavilions without concern for weather. Lauhala matting can also be used to underlay a solid roofed Palapa, as ceiling or wall covering, to accent tiki bars or even line tables for a party. For indoor use, Lauhala matting can be used to cover kitchen bars and cabinets, walls and ceiling spaces, bed frames and window treatments. Overall, Lauhala matting adds a Tropical Island Flair that can enhance any motif whether it be used indoors or out. Application is easy; the matting can either be glued or stapled to any surface. If using outdoors, a sealer is recommended. Lauhala matting can be used for either residential or commercial applications. NOTE: We recommend taping the back of the matting first then cutting it with a pair of scissors. Please note: Hala leaf is a natural material that is grown, not made of plastic in a factory.Each Lauhala matting roll is hand made from natural plant fibers. This means that mats will vary slightly in color, weave size, and character. STORE POLICIES AND RETURNS: Most items ship within 3 to 5 business days.
