Tiki huts are iconic structures in tropical destinations, widely used for beach bars, poolside lounges, resorts, and private villas. Traditional natural thatch, while visually appealing, often requires frequent replacement due to harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and moisture.

Technical Specification Summary
UV Resistance – Tested for Long-Term Durability
One of the biggest challenges for tiki hut roofs is constant sun exposure.
Our UV resistant thatch roofs have been tested under EN ISO 4892 standards for 5000 hours, ensuring excellent UV resistance and color stability. This significantly reduces fading, brittleness, and degradation over time.
As a result, the roof maintains its natural look for many years, even in equatorial regions.
Fire Retardant Performance
Fire safety is a key concern, especially for commercial and hospitality projects.
Our fire retardant synthetic tiki hut thatch meets UL 94-2013 standards, with six key indicators achieving V0-level performance (excluding dripping behavior).
This provides a much safer alternative to natural thatch, helping projects comply with stricter building and fire regulations.
