Uv resistant synthetic thatch has many advantages, which are described below:
I. Advantages
1. Strong durability:
It can resist long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, is not easy to fade, embrittlement, deformation and other phenomena, can maintain the original appearance and performance for a long time, and the service life can generally reach more than ten years, compared with natural thatch, which needs frequent replacement, greatly saving maintenance and replacement costs.
2. Low maintenance cost:
There is no need for daily maintenance work such as irrigation, pruning, fertilization, weeding and anti-corrosion and insect protection like natural thatch, and only occasional cleaning, such as rinsing with water to remove dust and dirt, can save a lot of manpower, material resources and time costs.
3. Environmental health:
The material is usually non-toxic and harmless, and will not produce harmful substances during installation and use, in line with modern environmental protection concepts, and will not cause pollution to the human body and the environment. And its production process does not need to cut down natural plants, reducing the consumption of natural resources, but also to avoid the loss and waste of natural thatch in the cutting and transportation process.
4. High safety performance:
With good flame retardant performance, in line with international fire safety standards, can effectively reduce the risk of fire, add a layer of protection for building safety, especially suitable for places with high fire protection requirements, such as resorts, restaurants, bars and other densely populated places.
5. Beautiful and realistic:
It can simulate the shape, texture and color of natural thatch well, and has a high degree of imitation, which can create a natural, simple and original atmosphere, add unique natural customs to buildings, gardens, etc., improve the aesthetics and ornamental value of the overall environment, and meet people's pursuit of natural beauty.
6. Easy installation:
Compared with traditional thatch, synthetic thatch is lighter, easier to cut and install, which can greatly shorten the construction period and reduce construction costs. Generally no special skills or tools are required, ordinary workers can be installed, and customized installation can be performed according to needs.
Two, how to clean and maintain easy to bend UV resistant synthetic grass thatch roof?
Here are some ways to clean and maintain an easy-to-bend UV resistant synthetic thatch roof:
1. Daily cleaning
Dust removal:
You can use a soft brush, such as a long-handled soft broom, to gently sweep the surface of the thatch roof regularly to remove dust, leaves, debris, etc. This prevents dust and other long-term accumulation from affecting the appearance and breathability of the thatch. For example, for a synthetic thatched roof installed on a courtyard pavilion, a simple cleaning once a week would be appropriate.
You can also use the cold air file of the hair dryer to gently blow away the dust, etc., but pay attention to maintaining a suitable distance during operation to avoid blowing the shape of the thatch, generally about 30 cm from the thatch roof is more appropriate, and the hair dryer should be evenly moved so that all parts can be cleaned up.
Rinse:
Every once in a while (say 1-2 months, depending on how dirty the actual environment is), the thatch roof can be washed with a low-pressure water gun. The water pressure should be controlled well, not too large, so as not to wash the thatch or make it shift, generally choose the kind of low-pressure water gun used in household car washing. When washing, it is necessary to move gradually from one end of the roof to the other end to rinse, ensuring that all parts can be washed to wash away the attached stains.
If there is no low-pressure water gun, it is also feasible to spray and rinse with a long handle watering can filled with clean water, but the efficiency is relatively low, but it can better control the water flow and direction.
2. Seasonal maintenance
Spring:
In spring, when everything recovers, there may be more pollen, catkins, etc., easily attached to the roof of the thatch. In addition to daily cleaning operations, it is important to check whether there are birds nesting on the roof, and if necessary, clean it carefully to avoid damaging the thatch.
Check whether the thatch roof is loose and displaced after the winter, if any, it can be properly arranged and fixed to ensure that the thatch remains in a good state of laying.
Summer:
In summer, there is a lot of rain and there may be heavy rain weather, and it is necessary to check the drainage of the roof in time after the rain to ensure that the rain can be normally discharged from the roof to avoid problems such as mold and mildew caused by long-term soaking of water. If you find that there is local water, you can use tools to gently adjust the laying Angle of the thatch to make it drain smoothly.
The summer sun is strong, although the thatch has anti-ultraviolet function, but you can also check whether its color has changed, if you find signs of fading, you can consider contacting the manufacturer to consult whether there are corresponding remedies or protective measures.
Fall season:
There may be fallen leaves piled up on the roof in autumn, which should be cleaned in time to prevent the pollution of the thatch caused by the decay of the fallen leaves, and to avoid the long-term accumulation of fallen leaves affecting the drainage of the roof.
Check the overall strength of the thatch roof, because sometimes there will be windy weather in autumn, to ensure that the thatch will not be blown or blown, for the part that is at risk of loosening can be strengthened in advance, such as using some special fixing clips, etc. (Be careful to choose clips that will not damage the thatch).
Winter:
Before the snow, you can clean the debris on the roof in advance, so that the snow can slide smoothly and reduce the pressure of the snow on the roof. If there is snow accumulation, gently push the snow off with a soft tool with a long handle (such as a soft plastic shovel, etc.) to avoid damaging the thatch with a sharp, hard tool.
Winter temperature is low, pay attention to whether the thatch due to low temperature brittle and other abnormal conditions, if found damaged thatch, you can record it and replace it in time after the weather warms up.
Long-term maintenance and precautions
Regular inspection: Every half a year or so, a more detailed inspection of the entire thatch roof to see whether the thatch has aging, cracking, damage, for the problems found to take timely measures to repair or replace the corresponding part of the thatch.
Avoid heavy pressure: In daily use, it is necessary to avoid personnel climbing the roof at will, prevent the deformation and displacement of the thatch due to heavy pressure, and do not place too heavy items on the roof.
Fire prevention treatment: Although synthetic grass thatch generally has a certain fire performance, but still try to avoid close to the fire source, such as do not set off fireworks and firecrackers under the thatch roof, such as the surrounding fire construction should also do the corresponding protective measures to prevent accidental fire damage to the thatch roof.
Professional maintenance consultation: If you encounter more complex problems, such as large areas of thatch fading, unexplained damage, etc., you should contact professional suppliers or installation and maintenance personnel in time to seek their professional advice and solutions to better maintain the thatch roof and extend its service life.
