A fire retardant spray that can be applied to protect thatch roofs - the retardant is sprayed both inside & out. The thatch fire retardant spray is: - SABS approved - Highly resistant to fungus & bacteria as well as monkey & bird damage as it increases the thatch strength and compaction. As well as acting as fire protection this also prolongs the lifespan of the thatched roof and reduces the maintenance costs - Non- toxic - A flame preventative which reduces fire to smoulder only |
Thatch Fire Retardant Blanket

A fire retardant blanket is woven into the thatched roof as it is being thatched and can therefore only be applied to protect a newly thatched roof. Once installed the fire retardant blanket is not visible from inside or outside of the building. The thatch fire retardant blanket is: - a membrane which prevents the spread of fire between the layers of thatch in the roof - perforated to allow airation of the thatch which prevents rotting and fungal growth - a preventative of dust throughout the life-span of the thatched roof - a huge advantage when the thatch roof is aging |
