 Harvey Thatch Tiles is a synthetic roofing material designed to mimic the appearance of a traditional thatch roof but with modern advantages, such as durability, fire resistance, and low maintenance. Here's a general overview of the installation process for Harvey Thatch Tiles: Steps for Installing Harvey Thatch Tiles 1. Prepare the Roof Structure Check Roof Pitch : Ensure that the roof has the correct pitch (usually between 30° and 45°) to allow for proper drainage. This is important for the effectiveness and longevity of the tiles. Install Roof Battens : Battens are thin strips of wood or metal attached horizontally across the roof structure. They provide a base for the Harvey Thatch Tiles to be attached. The batten spacing should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. 2. Install an Underlay (Optional) Waterproof Membrane : Some installations may require a waterproof underlay or breathable membrane to provide an additional layer of protection

 Installing a thatch roof is a traditional craft that involves layering natural materials, such as straw, reeds, or palm leaves, to create a water-resistant and durable covering. The process requires skilled labor and attention to detail to ensure a strong, long-lasting roof. Here's an overview of how it's done: 1. Preparation of Materials: Thatching materials are selected based on the climate and availability. Common materials include: Water reeds (used in cooler climates). Long straw (wheat or rye). Palm leaves (common in tropical regions). The materials are cleaned and bundled into manageable sections. 2. Roof Structure: A strong timber framework is constructed to support the thatch. Wooden battens are laid horizontally across the rafters, creating a base to attach the thatch bundles. Proper ventilation is ensured to prevent moisture buildup, which could lead to decay. 3. Laying the Thatch: The thatch is applied starting from the bottom of the roof ,
