Fiber Thatch - Layered

At last, the most authentic looking thatch has arrived – Fiber Thatch. After many years of trial and error we have perfected the synthetic thatch to imitate our natural version. Fiber Thatch comes in two styles:

• Fiber Thatch – Regular which are panels that will create a smooth traditional look or

• Fiber Thatch – Layered which gives a roof or umbrella a stepped or layered look.

Description of Fiber Thatch - Layered

The Fiber Thatch – Layered Panel is made up of hundreds of simulated pvc thatch reeds, all cut to the same lengths and bound by a flexible urethane strip. When installed on a sub-roof or umbrella frame, the thatch panels overlap to give a layered or stepped appearance opposed to the smooth traditional thatch.

The advantage of Fiber Thatch is that it looks so real, like the traditional reed thatch, but eliminates the weathering and aging effects of natural thatch. Fiber Thatch is UV protected and pre-fire retardant. It can be used for interior or exterior applications.
