Why Synthetic Thatch Is the Future of Roofing in Island Nations

Traditional thatch—like coconut palm leaves (makuti, falaf, vondro)—offers a rustic appearance, but is vulnerable and you need to replace them every 3 years.

That’s why we created synthetic alternatives and eliminates all problems. You will save money year after year and enjoy peace of mind-even in the harshest island environment.

20-year warranty against rot, decay, and sudden color fading.

01. Fire Rated

Test: ASTM E108

Certified by: INTERTEK

Result:ONETHATCH Coconut thatching panel is certified as Class A fire-resistant (ASTM E108). This ensures your resort or lodge meets international safety codes, even in high-risk zones.

02. UV protected

Test: ISO4892-3 (10000hrs)

Certified by: TÜV SÜD

Result:Our synthetic thatch is UV-tested for over 10,000 hours, retaining its original tropical color tone. Ideal for sunny coastal regions like Praslin, Mahé, Nosy Be, and Pemba, where traditional palm thatch fades quickly under intense sun.

03. Wind Resistant

Test: ASTM D3161

Certified by: TÜV SÜD

Result:Engineered for extreme island weather, our makuti-style synthetic thatch withstands winds up to 200 km/h, equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. This makes it the ideal cyclone-proof roofing for vulnerable coastal resorts across Zanzibar, Madagascar, and Mauritius.

04. Insect Resistant

Test: ASTM G 21-96

Certified by: INTERTEK

Result: Our Nipa palm thatch shingles are resistant to mold, mildew, termites, and tropical insects, making them perfect for high-humidity zones like São Tomé, Seychelles, and the Comoros—without the need for chemical treatments or yearly rethatching.
