Natural thatch might be the most environmentally gentle green construction material if the methods for growing, collecting, and maintaining it hadn't changed so significantly over time. To fulfill customer demand, contemporary fire standards, and current construction codes, the natural thatching business was compelled to modernize. Many people no longer consider natural thatch to be sustainable construction material, at least when it is utilized professionally.
Natural thatch is modest and full of character; it's a relaxing visual reminder of a simpler, worry-free lifestyle. It retains vernacular architecture's vocabulary, reminding us of traditions and local workmanship. While the rustic thatch ‘style' has numerous advantages, thatch is no longer the most practical roofing material. In the interest of the environment, the use of natural materials is not always an option.
If you care about the environment, here are a few reasons why a natural thatch isn't the most sustainable solution for you:
Natural goods are on the verge of extinction: Natural thatch materials like reeds, palm leaves, coconut fronds, and grass are not usually obtained in a sustainable manner. These natural materials are already on the verge of extinction in many parts of the world owing to misuse and exploitation for a natural aesthetic.
Requires high maintenance: They degrade quicker because they are biological. Shedding is an additional annoyance that must be addressed. In humid regions, the roofs are also vulnerable to fungal and mold assaults. As a result, not only can these natural roofs increase your maintenance costs, but they are also a significant environmental burden.
Hazardous to Fire: Natural thatches made from dried natural materials are a great combination for a fire disaster waiting to happen. These roofs not only catch fire rapidly, but they may also easily blow up into a man-made tragedy.
Harmful: Insects, vermin, and other tiny animals are drawn to natural thatches. Insect control, in particular, necessitates the use of very hazardous treatments. Fumigation, which is often used for such roofs, uses hazardous chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Surely, a natural appearance should not come at the expense of nature?
Natural thatch is not the most energy-efficient choice. KHW solution thatches are ideal for your personal places, restaurants, and so on and are installed in such a way that they allow for improved ventilation, for example. This implies a cooler under-the-roof temperature, which allows you to save money on your power bills as well as the energy you use!
KHW solutions can help you personalize this roofing for your roofs and make them more appealing and comfortable. We have synthetic thatches that seem more natural while also prolonging the life of your thatch, and it's even become trendy to replace most natural thatch roofs with these magnificent synthetic ones owing to their robustness and endurance. In look and feel, artificial thatch roofing closely mimics real thatch. It often comes with a 20-year guarantee and gives owners complete peace of mind because it requires no maintenance. It comes as no surprise that it is LEED certified and is very sustainable roofing material.
