Please beware of quasi suppliers who advertise too good to be true prices. They are not storing this thatch in the necessary climate controlled environments that are essential for the longevity of the thatch. The problem is that when you first install it you will not know the difference and in just a short while you will begin to see its deterioration. The extra dollars you saved at the beginning could cost you hundreds in the long run. So make sure that one, the thatch 'company' has an actual brick and mortar establishment because if they do not, chances are that they are storing these products either in a humid garage or storage unit and two, make sure that the 'company' has it in stock and is not offering you something today at a low price with a 'promise' to deliver on a future date.

How to calculate square feet needed for your thatch project: Our thatching is 30" x 60 feet long so that would give you 150 sq feet per roll. It is recommended however that you use a 6" overlap when installing so that would leave you with approximately 120sq feet per roll. This thatch is hand woven on one side and fringed on the other.

What is the thatch Grade? Sometimes within the industry we refer to thatch as commercial grade, theme park grade or many other variances. The important thing to remember is that it is not all the same exact grade. We use experienced weavers, quality palms, climate-controlled storage, criteria to ensure the thatch meets the quality and specifications our customers want. This can make a difference in your thatch lasting 1 year to 5 years. Our Premium Quality Thatch™ is a well-made product.

Layers and Cutting:
It is quite easy to cut in either direction when necessary. We recommend that you place two layers in order to give to the appropriate thickness for waterproofing and aesthetic appeal. The life span of thatch is 3-6 years and thrives in dryer desert climates. It is recommended that you purchase from a well-established company as ours to insure the proper climate control during the pre storage of the product.
