▧ Is synthetic thatch better than natural thatch?

Synthetic thatch is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions without breaking down over time, and will last significantly longer. Most synthetic thatch tiles are also fire resistant without the use of any chemical flame retardants. In addition, synthetic thatch is pest resistant and does not attract any rodents, bugs and other pests. Synthetic thatch roof is more durable than natural thatch roofing. Natural thatch roofing such as alang alang thatch roofing only last 3-5 years. Good quality synthetic thatch roof could last 10-15 years. Nylon thatch roof could last 15-20 years in tropical ocean countries.

▧ How long will a synthetic thatch roof last?

Since the synthetic thatch is made of high quality PE, nylon and aluminum alloy materials, it can be used for 10-15 years. Aluminum thatch could be used more than 25 years.

Compared to natural thatched roofs, a complete re-thatching of the roof is required on average every five years.
