Thatch roof’s flexibility in shape, design and excellent insulation at extreme temperatures, gives you that open, natural style that makes it so unique. Because of Waterfront Thatcher’s commitment to perfection and detail, our thatch roofs are spectacular and unique creations that meet the needs of each individual client. We do not believe in compromising any aspect of thatching and will remain professional, creative and focussed at all times. Prior to commencement, all projects have detailed structural drawings that serve to determine the timber and other material required to complete the project. Waterfront Thatchers will assume that it has been brought to the attention of the owner that the supporting structure for the roof is capable of supporting the roof and has been checked by a competent person for horizontal and vertical forces, on its supports. Prior to the laying of thatch, all roof structures are inspected by a certified engineer. On completion of the project, an engineer’s certificate will be issued for the thatch roof. All major stress points of pole connections are bolted with galvanised threaded rods, nuts and washers. All the ends of the poles are to be fitted with anti-split plates (gangnails) Laths are laid at 300mm centres, except for the first three rows at the eaves and the last three rows at the ridge where they are laid at 150mm centres. The ends of the reed/grass is blocked below the lower edge of the lath. Grass must be cut when fully mature and have minimum moisture content. Our patterned cement ridging give a unique detail to our roofs and a perfect finishing touch.
