Life span of 15 plus years. Available in two styles: Dura-Thatch Reed (parauri/brown), and Dura-Thatch Palm, which comes in two colours: Bali (yellow) and parauri (brown).

Dura-thatch can be used to create a very realistic thatch roof (the Hobbit I-site in Matamata is a good example of what can be achieved!)

It can be used over ply or as the roof cover by itself – (the Dura-Thatch Reed tiles when used alone provide minimal “waterproofing”) – Dura-Thatch Palm however is about 98% waterproof i.e. there will be the odd drip in continuous rain. Because it “breathes” temperatures under a thatch only roof are typically 10-15% cooler than summers ambient temperatures.

Our synthetic Dura-Thatch tiles are made from polyolefin, not PVC and have a flexible binding making them a very durable and versatile product. The synthetic tiles have an expected life of 15 years plus. They are made from polyolefin and have uv and colour stabilisers added, not PVC which tends to become brittle when exposed to the sun.

Dura-Thatch can be installed by itself as a cover providing similar “waterproofness” as the natural tiles, or over ply. When installed correctly the Dura-Thatch Palm tiles will provide a roof that is 98% waterproof i.e. there will be the odd drip in continuous rain. It requires mid tile support when installed by itself.

Dura-Thatch Reed is designed to be installed over ply. It can be installed by itself as a covering and it will “look the part”, however provides shade rather than rain cover.

How Waterproof is Dura-Thatch?

Dura-Thatch tiles, when installed correctly, will provide a roof that is 98% waterproof i.e. there will be the odd drip in continuous rain. They are fine for over spa pools, casual dining areas or shade areas. Dura-Thatch Palm can be used as a roof cover but provides minimal “waterproofing” and should only be used if shade is the only consideration e.g. pre-school shade areas. If you want to install electrical equipment – TV, Pool Pump etc under the roof then we recommend the use of ply (iron etc) covered with Dura-Thatch Palm  (natural tiles should not be installed over ply, iron etc as the surface touching the ply will remain wet and deteriorate faster, typically 3-4 years.)

Their advantage is they require little or no maintenance and have exceptional longevity. Feathered or graduated cut reeds are used to give the appearance of a flat thatch roof, which can be left jagged to provide a tropical look or combined with eave block (as per the I-site roof) to provide a thick European thatch look.

Thatch Tiles - These tiles can be clipped onto an 8mm steel rod or nailed onto wooden purlins. There are 4 different styles of tile (see below) the spacing of tiles determines the area they cover. With the Standard and Dura-Thatch Palm tiles, we recommend spacing between the rows of 300 - 350mm; this is reduced to 230 - 250mm for the Tropical and Dura-Thatch Reed tiles i.e. more Tropical and Dura-Thatch Reed thatch tiles will be used to cover the same area compared with Standard or Dura-Thatch Palm.
