1. Is Palmex a well established and reputable company?
Tropical Thatching Oceania is an authorised distributor of Palmex Thatched Roofing. There are over 70 distributors worldwide, with the parent company based in Quebec, Canada.
2. What guarantee do I have that Palmex will last longer than my old natural thatch?
Palmex is made from Industrial Strength High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and is Ultra Violet (UV) treated, during manufacture. Other products (eg water tanks, canoes, boats) made from HDPE have a lifespan of 40/50 years. Palmex has a lifespan of 50 years also. Natural thatch breaks down and needs replacing every five years or sooner. When you have Palmex installed, you will receive a written 20 year Manufacturer’s Warranty.
3. Will Palmex come off in strong winds?
No!! Palmex is certified to resist winds of up to 240kms/hr! Indeed, Palmex resisted Tropical Cyclone Winston (Category 5) in Fiji in 2016, with recorded gusts of up to 285km/hr. For geographical areas known to experience severe weather conditions, we can install Palmex Wind Clips, which provide extra protection against weather surges.
4. Is Palmex really completely waterproof?
Yes!! Palmex provides a 100% waterproof roof. This is a fantastic advantage over traditional thatch which tends to break down much more easily, leaving holes for rain to penetrate. Whereas traditional thatch leaks around the ribs and hips of the roof, Palmex forms a watertight barrier over the entire area. This means you can enjoy your Bali hut in all weather conditions and your furniture and outdoor electricals will be completely safe.
5. What do we have to do to maintain our Umbrella / Bure / Bali Hut once Palmex is installed?
Nothing! Palmex is virtually maintenance free, but we do suggest a hose down every 12 months or so, to remove any airborne rubbish. It will not leak, it won’t breakdown flinging material into your pool and it never needs replacing or repairing. You will be worry free!
6. Does Palmex attract mice and other vermin, like my natural thatch?
Palmex is not attractive to birds, mice and other vermin. One of the great advantages of Palmex over natural thatch is that it is clean to install and clean to live with. You will have no need to worry about germs and bacteria from nasty, unwanted little visitors!
7. Does it fade or shed?
Palmex does not shed, so will not make an unsightly addition to your sparkling pool or surrounds, as is so often the case with natural thatch. It will maintain its lustrous fresh look from the minute it is installed. Palmex will fade slightly, over time (up to around 5% after a number of years), but the whole roof surface fades together, so there is no patching.
8. Does it look authentic?
Palmex has replicated natural palm leaves which, when installed, provide an authentic and aesthetically pleasing tropical roof. All our clients have been delighted with the result and comment on how natural it looks. It’s like having their own tropical paradise!
9. Can I use Palmex to patch up the holes in my existing natural thatch?
No. Palmex is a patented, complete roofing system and cannot be used to patch a natural thatched roof. All natural thatch must be removed before we can install Palmex, which can either be undertaken by the client or by our Installation team. There will be no risk of future holes once Palmex is installed.
10. How long does will it take to install Palmex on my Bali Hut?
Our qualified Installation Teams can usually complete the average sized Bure / Bali Hut in ONE day (weather permitting). Larger jobs may take 2 to 3 days depending on location, the size and complexity.
11. Can I have the whole hut and roof custom built?
You certainly can. Tropical Thatching Oceania can build your dream Bure / Bali Hut / Gazebo / Umbrella from the ground up. As a One Stop Shop, you will be given a Quotation for your whole project.
12. Do you make swimming pool umbrellas?
Yes we do, we make umbrellas which are perfect for a garden or swimming pool area.
13. I’m a bit of a handyman- can I just buy the product and install myself?
Yes. Provide us with the dimensions of your Bure / Bali Hut Roof and we will provide a quote to supply only (to anywhere). There are many YouTube Videos available to show you the Installation Procedure, as well as a detailed Installation Booklet showing step by steps. However, if the installation is not undertaken by an authorised installation team, we cannot take any responsibility for leaking or poor workmanship.
14. How long have you been in business?
Both the Directors have over 20 years experience in Fiji. One of our Shareholders and Directors also runs Palmex Australia
