Artificial Synthetic Thatch Roofing Materials

Artificial Synthetic thatch roof materials are accessible thatching materials for both outside and interior decorations, limited just by the creativity. It is also described as plastic or faux thatch and can be discovered in as many designs as natural thatch, simulating the same appearance and circulation.

Backed by a 20-year limited warranty, they are incredibly resilient and easy to handle thanks to their light weight. They are weather resistant, come in a fire-retardant (FR) version, and outlast natural thatch, which has to be re-thatched every few years, making them more practical and economical over time.

Synthetic thatch items are not susceptible to mold, rot, or decay, and unlike natural thatch items, birds and wild animals are not drawn to nest in it. It will enhance any space with its natural appearance and design, with no re-thatching, no sealing, no pest or fire treatments, just an occasional rinse. Crafted from PVC-free HDPE, it is also 100% recyclable. You can use the artificial thatch in your home, in the lawn, or bring it to your workplace to improve any area with synthetic thatch in the same way you would utilize natural thatch.

Making an artificial palm thatch or synthetic reed thatch are two popular designs, each with a distinct look and mix to add to your design. Used mainly for roofing needs, it is also versatile as wall coverings and thatch umbrella covers. Individual, natural-looking reed or artificial palm strips are “crimped” together to form shingles or panels that are easily installed.

The UV-stabilised HDPE used to make the thatch has passed 5,000 hours of ASTM G155 accelerated weathering at Micom Laboratories (Canada) with no significant colour change. In lab tests, ONETHATCH PALM (NIPA) passed ASTM D3161 at 160 mph (260 km/h) with no loss of attachment, and the FR versions of our thatch are rated Class A to ASTM E108. Each shingle is created to develop the appearance of the natural reed or palm thatch, with differing shades of color and leaf shapes depending on the style of the thatch that is being recreated. Synthetic thatch is made from a synthetic material derived from engineered polyethylene, totally recyclable with minimal upkeep needed to take care of it.

Synthetic thatch roofing materials have an extremely natural look. It would be tough to discriminate between natural thatch and synthetic thatch unless you touched it or looked thoroughly at it. In its FR version it is fire-retardant, and it has a longer lifespan than natural thatching materials.
