When you look at a standard thatch product, you see a number of things which are hard to find in roofing products. For instance, the amazing popularity of thatching, how it can be used very effectively to create a rustic style of home, and how easy to find and source it often is. Unfortunately though, these benefits can be offset by a few important factors which are often ignored by those asking for its installation; it has relatively low life expectancy as it can biodegrade, it is difficult to install, and requires regular maintenance as the thatch can damaged by weather, with reeds taken away by animals and weather.
In order to overcome the negative aspects of thatching while still holding onto many of the most important benefits, one option is to choose a synthetic thatch product. With a synthetic thatch product, you will see that the amount of maintenance required is massively reduced, and, because of how they are made, the installation costs are also considerably more affordable as well. Of course, you’ll also see that the synthetic variety has a far greater lifespan than the natural thatching products.
