All too often, the greatest threat to thatch is fire. It can spell disaster on both a personal and financial level. Which is why Thatchsure has made fire-retardation a primary concern.

FIRE-PROOFING

Drawing on over ten years’ experience in the chemical industry, Thatchsure patented a unique self-triggering fireproofing and preservation technique. Applied internally and externally to the thatching structure, the spray creates a clear coat that reduces fire activation levels to 500%. This not only enables evacuation: it contains the fire, reducing the threat of a full-scale blaze. Thatchsure will also conduct regular monitoring –through it’s maintenance programme –of the spray coat, reapplying where necessary to ensure it’s continued effectiveness.

Treated thatch sample versus the untreated sample. The results speak for themselves.
