INTRODUCING DURA-THATCH™
Do you currently own a Tiki Hut? Native craftmanship is a beautiful thing, each structure a unique work of art. Unfortunately, working with natural materials does have it's drawbacks. Natural thatch structures shed fibers constantly. From the moment you begin to enjoy your natural thatch structure, it is beginning to decompose. An estimated life of three to five years (or the first big wind storm) is about what you can expect before you need to repair or re-thatch the entire structure.Now there is an alternative to natural thatch. You can choose to break the re-thatch every five years cycle.
Our DURA-THATCH™ product has the look and feel of natural thatch while the space-age polymers from which it is manufactured make it almost indestructible. Our synthetic thatch is warranted for 20 years against fading, loss of texture and waterproofing. The material can be nailed or screwed to wooden frames, such as a native hut. It can also be applied over wood sheathing, corrugated metal, finished siding or asphalt shingles. Anyplace you wish to combine the look of a natural thatch structure with the confidence of a long term guarantee, you can apply our authentic yet durable plastic thatch.
DURA-THATCH has two styles:
DOMINGO is used like a shingle for application over wood sheathing, over existing shingles, metal or plastic roofs or any surface where the underside of the roof is not exposed. Domingo is sold by the bundle. We will break full bundles and sell buy the piece, depending on your needs. A bundle covers approximately 96 sq ft.
BORA BORA is used when your application requires the underside of the roof to be visable. Commonly used as a replacement for natural thatch in native huts. Bora Bora is sold by the bundle. We will break full bundles and sell by the piece, depending on your needs. A bundle covers approximately 86 sq ft.
DURA-THATCH also offers hips, used when two roof planes meet at a sharp angle; ridges, used at the peak of the roof; wind clips, used for large structures where wind might become an issue and copper caps for topping small round huts.
