Natural thatched roofs have been used for centuries, and not without good reason. Although they are aesthetically pleasing, they may not be the most reliable or practical material to use.
Installing natural thatch is labor intensive and can prove to be very costly. Along with very poor durability caused by damage from climate conditions, insects, moss, rot, as well as exposure to sun, wind and sea salted air, natural thatch needs to be replaced every 2 to 5 years.
In order to be kept it in good shape, it must be maintained regularly; repairs, insecticides, fumigation, fire-resistance treatments. Leaks are the most common problem, which can cause more serious damage to other sections of the roof, therefore requiring more expensive repairs.
