Quality

  • No accumulation of residue
  • Regular maintenance required; repairs, insecticides, fumigation, fire-resistance treatments, cleaning of underlying floors and furniture, etc.
  • Recurring labour costs
Wind resistance
  • Wind resistance from 160km/h up to 190km/h
  • No existing standards – generally low wind resistance
  • Ensuing repairs and maintenance involved
Fire resistance
  • PVC is naturally low flammable material
  • Fire-retardant (FR)
  • Highly flammable and may cause fires
  • High risk of fire propagation
  • Costly insurance coverage and high risk of refusa
Protection from infestation
  • Material does not attract insects, rodents, birds, etc.
  • Susceptible to infestations and nesting
Comfort
  • Layered installation method (allowing air pockets), makes for much cooler under-roof temperatures
  • Weak insulation capabilities means a high volume of leaves are required (very thick layering)
Added value
  • Undeniable return on investment
  • Adds value to the building structures
  • No added value
Insurance savings
  • Lower insurance costs
  • Palmex products are deemed entirely safe
  • High risk factor
  • Costly insurance or insurance refusal
Environmental factors
  • 100% recyclable
  • No toxic products required (cleaning, etc.)
  • Rain water harvesting possible
  • Damage to the natural environment (harvesting leaves)
  • Roof maintenance often leads to pollution via toxic products such as insecticides, pesticides, fire prevention sprays, etc.
Installation
  • Fast and easy. Instructions provided by Palmex
  • Minimal skills required
  • Requires skilled labourers
  • Longer, complicated and costly installation process
Transport and storability
  • Optimized transport and storage: high coverage, low shipping/ storage volume, thin leaves, compressed packaging.
  • Export:
    From Thaïland :
    20’ container = from 1500 sqm to 2000 sqm 40’ container = from 3000 to 4000 sqm
  • To cover an equal surface per m2 or sq.ft, natural thatch roofing requires approximately 11 times the volume of Palmex products (transport and storage)
  • 1 container of Palmex leaves = 11 containers of natural leaves
