The main synthetic thatch page explains the options, the materials and the costs in more detail.
Centurion notes on materials & supplies
Grass and poles reach Centurion easily from the N1 and R21, and suppliers north of Pretoria and in Midrand deliver here regularly. Estates often ask for a <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> on thatch with a certificate, so look for an applicator who issues one. A sealer can be added on newer roofs; ask whether it changes the colour, as some guidelines specify the finish.
Centurion: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Centurion is estate country. Between the N1, the R21 and the Ben Schoeman, security estates have gone up one after another, and many of them allow or even favour thatch on houses, clubhouses and pool lapas. That means HOA rules come first: roof pitch, ridge style, the colour of the cement ridge and where a lightning mast may stand are often written into the architectural guidelines. Older suburbs such as Eldoraigne and Lyttelton have their own garden lapas, and the Irene smallholdings bring in farm style venues. Thatchers from both Pretoria and Johannesburg work here, so you can usually get more than one quote. Storm season is long, and estates often ask for proof of lightning protection.
Typical synthetic thatch requests in the area come from:
- Estate homes and HOAs: a thatch look where estate rules allow it and insurers prefer a rated product
- Homeowners: a pool lapa or coastal home roof that keeps the thatch look with less upkeep
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a wedding or function roof that needs a fire rated covering
