ABOUT THATCHSHIELD

A Practical Approach To Protecting Thatch Homes

ThatchShield was built around a simple idea: homeowners shouldn’t have to give up the character of thatch to gain a more practical, durable roof solution.

Our Story

Built Around A Simple Roofing Problem

Our approach is about more than changing the exterior of a home. We look at the existing structure, the condition of the thatch and the needs of the homeowner to recommend a solution designed to make the roof more practical to live with over time.

Many thatch homeowners love the warmth and character of their homes, but not the maintenance and exposure that comes with an uncovered thatch roof. ThatchShield was created to offer a more practical alternativeadding a protective roofing system above suitable existing thatch while preserving what makes the home unique.
