The resort Tiki Lodge has synthetic thatched roofs

What is a synthetic thatch roof?

Synthetic thatch roof is a kind of building decoration material made of artificial synthetic materials, which is used to replace natural thatch roof. High performance synthetic fiber is made of natural thatch with similar appearance and texture. Synthetic thatch has higher durability, can resist ultraviolet radiation, is not easy to fade and deform, and its service life can reach more than ten years, or even longer. It can meet the B1 fire standard, and the sparks will not ignite in the event of fireworks, greatly reducing the risk of fire. The synthetic thatch is relatively light, and the burden on the roof structure is less. It will not affect the overall stability because of the excessive roof material. Usually made from recycled synthetic fiber materials, reducing the consumption of natural resources.

Three, how to install a tiki hut thatch roof at home

Prepare synthetic thatch materials and tools such as stainless steel nails or special glue (depending on the type of thatch and the mounting surface). If it is installed on a wooden structure, stainless steel nails are a better choice; If some special material surface, it may be necessary to use the appropriate glue to ensure that the paste is firm. Tape measure scissors or knife hammer (if fixed with nails) First method: nail mounting method

Starting at one end of the installation area (such as the eaves), unroll a section of the synthetic thatch and align one end of the thatch with the installation edge in the pre-planned laying direction.

Fasten the thatch to the mounting surface with stainless steel nails. The spacing of nails is generally about 10-15 cm, which should be adjusted according to the weight and texture of the thatch. Nails should be driven near the roots of the thatch, but not completely through the thatch, so as not to affect the beauty.

Unroll and fix the thatch gradually, laying each layer of thatch, paying attention to the overlap with the previous layer. The overlap width is generally about 5-10 cm, which can ensure that there will be no gaps after installation, and enhance the rain and wind protection effect.

In special locations such as the ridge and corner of the roof, the thatch needs to be properly cut and folded so that it can be tightly fitted to the installation surface. When cutting, care should be taken to keep the thatch neat, and the folded part should be firmly fixed with nails.
