How Can An Artificial Palm Thatch Product Be The "Green" Choice?

Our synthetic palm thatch Eliminates the Need for Fumigation and Fire Retardants

Because it's a natural material (and thus, a food source) natural palm thatch is a living ecosystem. Damp palm fronds are the perfect environment for growing mold and mildew. And they're a haven for insects. That's why companies are forced to fumigate their natural palm thatch structures as frequently as once a day in humid locales. And natural palm thatch is extremely flammable unless it's treated with fire-retardant chemicals.

Eliminating natural palm thatch can save your company thousands of dollars a year…and it can help save the environment from contamination by unnecessary fumigants and fire retardant chemicals.

Natural Palm Thatch Supplies are Dwindling

Until recently, natural palm thatch was relatively inexpensive. But now, supplies of the most common thatching palms (Pala Palas, Pandanus and Palma Cana) are decreasing. Pala Palas, Pandanus and Palma Cana thatch palm trees take several years to recover between harvests. Prices are expected to rise as these natural sources of palm thatch roofing become more scarce.

Our Synthetic Palm Thatch Lasts for 20 Years…or More

During the same 20-year lifespan of our synthetic palm thatch product, a natural palm tree would have to be harvested as many as seven times to supply the same square footage of roof coverage. That's seven times as much labor to harvest and seven times as much fossil fuel used to transport the thatch to your site.
