Waterproof Artificial Straw Thatch Roof for Palapa

Our Artificial Straw Thatch Roofs can be cut and bent to simulate straw and feel like real straw, but are more durable, weatherproof and won't break down easily even when exposed to the outside for extended periods of time, maintaining a flawless appearance. However, common synthetic straw roofs are not waterproof, while the construction of the palapa buildings, it is required to install a sub-roof such as plywood and waterproof membrane at first to ensure the waterproof for the building. It increases the installation cost and as the use of plywood and waterproof membrane, people stand inside the palapa could not see the thatch roof. To solve this issue, our company developed a craftsmanship to integrate the waterproof fabrics to the plastic straw thatch roof.
