The installation process of an artificial thatch roof usually includes the following steps:
Preparation: Ensure that the roof structure is strong, no potential water leakage, and clean and smooth.
Install the bottom layer: Install a layer of waterproof material, such as resin shingles or magnesium resistant sheets, on the roof and ensure that it is flat and secured.
Install the eave part: Starting from the eave, install the artificial thatch along the eave edge line, which can overlap several rows, and then gradually increase the distance of each row to form the thickness of the eave.
Install the ridge part: the ridge is divided into oblique ridge and positive ridge. First lay the thatch on the main side on both sides of the oblique ridge, and then lay it synchronously from the bottom up until the backbone shape is formed. When the positive ridge is closed, ensure that the diagonal ridge and positive ridge thatch cover the main roof thatch.
Roofing thatch: Artificial thatch is laid on roofing panels, usually starting at the eaves and gradually working up to the roof ridge. The spacing and length of thatch should be adjusted according to the size and shape of the roof.
Securing thatch: Use tools such as a pin gun, self-tapping screws, or strong adhesive to secure the thatch to the underlying material.
Finishing touches: After finishing the thatching, make final touches and adjustments to ensure a natural and beautiful appearance.
Safety and maintenance: Pay attention to safety during installation, wear appropriate protective equipment, and regularly clean and maintain the thatched roof after installation to keep it beautiful and functional.
