Top Layer:
 
The Top Layer or side exposed to the sun and other elements, consists of a thin layer of plastic (synthetic) reed particles.
 
The plastic reed particles cover and protect the layers of natural material underneath.
 
No weathering, no color change, no rot, no decomposing!
 
 
The Rest of the Tile:
 
Cape Reed (Thamnochortus Insignis) is used below the Fiber Particles on the remainder of the tile. With the Cape Reed protected from the elements, the tile will last for many more years.
 
Nothing surpasses the beauty of Natural Cape Reed and although a range of other natural materials could have been used, the first choice was Cape Reed.

Color of Fiber Thatch Particles.
 
The top layer is available in three colors (See photos - left.)

1. Light yellow/brown:- The color match Natural Thatch Reed

2. Dark brown/light brown:- The color match weathered thatch.

3. Yellow/green:- The color matches Thatch Grass.

Please refer to our color panels to the left, for color match photos that show the "true colors". The yellow/brown color is by far the most popular.

The dimensions have been kept the same as the tiles that have been sold over the last 20 years. The reason is that the Combination Fiber Tile can be used to replace any old weathered tile.

Combination Fiber Tiles carry a 7-year warranty.

Africa Roofing has spent more than two years to develop and test the Combination fiber tile. The tile is so unique and special that to protect the tile from being copied, the tile has been patented.
