Fiber Thatch Regular

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 regular:

The Fiber Thatch - Regular panel is made up of hundreds of simulated PVC thatch reeds, cut at different lengths and bound by a flexible urethane strip. When installed on a sub-roof, the thatch panels overlap to give the appearance of the smooth traditional thatch.

The advantage of Fiber Thatch - Regular 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.

FAQ’s of Fiber Thatch ™

If the Fiber Thatch panel is installed on a sub-roof, what can I use to put on the interior of the plywood?

We have a great product called Reed Ceiling Board and it’s primary use is to imitate a natural thatch ceiling. If you have the Fiber Thatch panels on the exterior, no-one would know that you have a sub-roof, because when you look up in the interior all you see is the thatch reeds, as the 4’ x 8’ Reed Ceiling Boards glue directly to the plywood.

Is Fiber Thatch a recycled product?

Currently Fiber Thatch uses 7% of recycled materials. We are hoping to improve on this percentage.

Is Fiber Thatch supplied in only one color?

The standard stock item is made up of multiple natural colors to imitate the natural Thatch Reed panel. However, we will do custom blends of ANY color for large orders that would fill a 20’ or 40’ container.
