Do you know someone looking to replicate the look of genuine thatched roofs found in the South Pacific? We have just the product!
First, you need to know the common grasses that are used. So, pili grass and alang-alang are the natural grasses that normally decorate the thatched roofs found on tropical islands throughout the Pacific Ocean. For centuries, you'd find alang-alang thatching on the islands of Bali, Timor, Sumba and others. Pili grass has been the choice grass used for thatched roofing in Hawaii and Polynesia.
Unfortunately, these days, the more recent demand for pili grass and alang-alang thatching created an undesirable effect on the natural materials and end roofing products.
“Because of the demand for alang alang for tourism projects in Bali and the loss of the beachfront margin to hotels, there has been a lot of grass production in fertile soils that were normally used for other farming, also using fertilizer to allow faster harvesting,” New Native Plants Hawaii at the University of Hawaii reported. “The alang alang made from this raw material is inferior which shortens the lifespan of the roof material.”
So, if you want a non-destructive, environmentally friendly authentic Pacific island thatched roof look, don’t settle for sub-par natural grass. Obviously, high end synthetic synthetic thatch roofing material outlasts natural pili grass and alang-alang thatching.
