Natural thatch has been used as a roofing solution since pre-historic times. Serving as shelters for nomadic groups, this type of roofing – made with wild grass and straw bales – was noticeably found in ancient cultures and civilizations in many parts of the world.
Today, however, natural thatch roofs are used as much for their aesthetic grace as for purely functional purposes. One can come across natural thatch roofs in resorts, private villas, amusement parks, and themed landscaped spaces.
Types of Natural Thatch Roofs
Mexican Thatch
Mexican Palm Thatch is adored for its unique tropical look, which was originally used by the natives in Mexico to protect them from the harsh climate. This thatch is mostly used for putting up patios, cabanas, tiki bars, and in many other indoor and outdoor applications.
Bali Thatch
The beautiful, panoramic Bali landscape is simply incomplete without an infusion of the gorgeous Alang-Alang grass. Also known as ‘blady’ grass, Alang-Alang, which is similar in appearance to the mint plant, grows up to 10 feet and is found abundantly on the islands of Bali and Lombok in Indonesia; it also occurs in most parts of South East Asia. Bali thatch roofs are primarily used for structures such as gazebos, carports, BBQ decks, beach shacks, etc.
African Thatch
Yellow Thatching Grass, found throughout tropical Africa, squarely stands out with its longer reeds and is characterized by subtle hues of red, purple, and yellow. African Cape Reed Thatch is typically used in installing gazebos, tiki bars, umbrellas, and many other outdoor projects.
Cuban Thatch
Prominently found in sandy soils along Cuba’s Eastern coastline, Cuban Silver Thatch Palm features dark green fan leaves with a subtle silvery tone. Cuban Thatch is widely used in beach-side resorts to recreate the captivating tropical appearance.
