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 significantly 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 once 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, however provides shade rather than rain cover.

DURA-THATCH REED – perfect for commercial situations these tiles provide a genuine thatch look and are normally used to cover ply. 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. Dura-Thatch Reed is designed to be used over ply and with the combination of eave blocks will provide the look of a thick thatch roof without the need for maintenance.
- European Look
- Tropical Look
DURA-THATCH PALM – The palm thatch look, synonymous with the thatch typically used in Pacific island thatch roofs (fales). These tiles are 98% waterproof used alone or can be used to cover ply or iron roofs. Their advantage is that they have great cover per tile used, therefore are very economical.
