Manufactured to last

Artificial stalks of thatch are manufactured from soft PVC on modern extruders and welded thermally into shingles. Once they have been processed in this way, they are extremely durable and weather-resistant. The natural look is the result of manufacturing the stalks in different lengths and with varying coloration. Any roofer will be able to lay artificial-thatch shingles. They are applied to a boarded roof structure that is covered with a waterproof felt membrane, using the customary shingle-laying method.

Impression of continuous roof surface

Tightly overlapping shingles and the varying lengths of the stalks produce the impression of a continuous roof surface. The tighter the overlap, the greater the impression of continuity. An overlap of between 100 and 120 mm (4 to 4.75 inches) is recommended.
