But many of them are curious about the thatched roof cost. As our products are synthetic thatch, so our article is written to discuss the cost of synthetic thatch roof, not natural thatch roof.

Exclude the thatched roof tile cost, thatched roof construction also need to consider the other materials’ cost, let us discuss together to give you more clear ideas for the total cost of the roof’s construction.

II. Steel wire mesh (1mm diameter): About USD1.5 for one square meter. Steel wire mesh is to be installed on the corrugated steel panels at first, then fix the thatch tiles on the steel wire mesh.


B). Wooden purlin and rafter as sub-roof

To install the natural thatch or artificial thatch on the wooden purlin and rafter, mainly need wood materials. Customers could decide whether need to install waterproof material or not by themselves. For synthetic palm thatch or artificial viva thatch, no need to install waterproof materials.

There are many factors to determine the thatched roof cost:

A)Thatched roof materials

There are normally some different materials for thatch tiles, include PVC thatch, PE thatch and nylon thatch.

The cost is: PVC thatch < PE thatch < nylon thatch


B)Fireproof or not

Fireproof thatch is more expensive than non-fireproof thatch.


C)The weight of one piece thatch

Take PE leaf thatch as an example, the standard weight is 600-650g/piece, but sometimes clients would require higher weight or less weight, that would make the cost different. Sometimes even 300g/piece would be supplied.


D)New material or recycled materials are used

That may cause about 10-20% difference of the cost.


E)How many pieces of thatch tiles to be used for one square meter roof

For 500x450mm size each piece, normally suggest to use 8 pieces for one square meter at least. Some clients may use 4 or 6 pieces, but the looking is not thick enough, and may not looks good.

Take an example, if the roof area meets the MOQ standard, 500x450mm size PE thatch, non-fireproof, 650g/piece, new materials, 8 pieces for 1 square meter, the cost is about USD40-60 for one square meters.


6.The ceiling decoration under the thatched roof

For some clients, they require to provide similar materials to decorate the interior especially the ceiling position. We recommend you could use our synthetic bamboo mat for decoration. The cost is about USD30-40 for one square meter.
