Synthetic Thatch Roofing

Synthetic Thatch Roofing is rapidly gaining popularity as a “set and forget” alternative to natural thatch for commercial projects, holiday resorts, and homeowners alike.

Here at Island Thatch, we are continually researching new products for quality and best value. As such, we are pleased to be able to offer two of the best natural thatching alternatives in the world, namely Virothatch Synthetic Bali Thatch Tiles, and Enduroreed’s Viva Palm Shingles.
