Thatch roofing is a traditional roofing method that uses dry vegetation such as straw, palm leaves and water reeds to create a natural roof covering. Looking back in time, it has been used traditionally as a locally available eco-friendly roof cover worldwide. Dwellings used to have them before the middle ages when it was one of the very few roofing options available before the onset of manufactured materials and transportation options in the late 19th century.
Given the current scenario of critical environmental degradation and climate change there seems to be a revival of alternate, building materials. In this regard the use of thatch is one such holistically sustainable option for the water resistance ,insulation value being more than three times higher than a typical RCC roof and the aesthetics always šŸƒ.
