Our Bali thatch is meticulously sown, grown, and harvested by hand in Bali. Crafted entirely by hand, it originates from a renewable and sustainable source.
Bali Thatch Products
There are two different thatched products that are required to thatch your roof. These are called strips and hips
Bali Thatch Strips
Strips are layered horizontally across the roof between the rafters.
Strips are 2.1 metres in length and are layered at 80cm until 1 meters apart horizontally.
Twelve (12) strips will cover approx 2.7 square metres.
Bali Thatch Corner Hips
The corner hips are used to seal the corner joins and ridge lines of the roof.
Prefabricated Bali Thatch Hips
Exotic East Trading has developed a solution in the prefabricated hip piece to make installation simple and easy. No batons are required as these are included in the strip.
Most thatching suppliers don’t offer prefabricated hips. Instead they only sell what are known as “mud bugs” which are small tufts of thatching which are very labour intensive and frustrating to install. These often work their way loose and can be troublesome.
Mudra Crowns
We also sell the decorative Mudra crown that sits on top of your Bali thatch roof.
