African Thatch Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the African Thatch last?

A: With very little maintenance, a thatch roof owner can have a roof last for 6 to 10 years. Various climates do affect the life span of a thatch roof.

African Thatch 100% waterproof?

No, 95% waterproof when installed correctly. 

Can African Thatch be used on an existing structure?

Yes, but a minimum pitch of 30 degrees is required for a thatched roof to ensure maximum water run-off. The pitch of an existing structure may be ‘built up’ to achieve the proper angle. The tiles are pre-fabricated and created around a do-it-yourself idea and therefore make construction a simple procedure. The tiles can be clipped onto an 8mm diameter steel rod, rope or nailed onto a wooden batten.

Are products free from pests?

Yes, Australian quarantine requires that all thatch must be treated as a condition of entry to Australia and therefore the product is free from pests.

What about ventilation and insulation?

One of the great attractions of african thatch is that is extremely thermally efficient – warm in winter and cool in summer. Unlike conventional roofing systems that trap heat and moisture vapor in attics, thatched roofs require no attic ventilation. African Thatch can reduce the inside temperature up to 10 degrees Celsius creating a pleasant place for your family on a hot summer day.

Are there other benefits of a thatched roof?

"From a conservation point of view thatch is less demanding on the land as the raw materials do not require quarrying or mining. Thatch is also very effective in commercial settings such as restaurants, hotels, pubs, and retail shops.


What is the difference between the Bali Huts and African gazebos materials?

Balinese thatch originates from Indonesia and has a more tropical look, compared to the African Cape Reed that has a neater, clean cut look.

Will the African Thatch change color over time?

The thatch we use is a natural product and will change color when exposed to the sun and rain.
