Why real palm thatch = a real problem
Palm thatch roofs have been a staple of tropical resort facilities world-wide. Whether it's used on a cabana, shade structure, awning or beach umbrella, palm thatch—like any natural material—is plagued by these problems:
- Degradation and decay due to sun, wind, rain and storms
- Mildew, mold and rot from water retention
- Bleaching and color changes from sun exposure
- Infestations of insects, which may attract rodents, bats and birds, which can even attract snakes
- Danger of fire (palm thatch is highly flammable unless chemically treated with fire retardant)
- A messy, labor-intensive replacement process that can shut down the area
- Expensive fumigation chemicals to treat mildew and mold
- Time-consuming, labor-intensive installation and maintenance
