What type of building should be considered for thatch?
Thatched roofing can add incomparable charm to homes, summer cottages, gatehouses, barns, beach houses, or most any building with a sloped roof, whether it be in a rural, urban, or suburban setting. Experience in England confirms that homes with thatched roofs command higher selling prices than similar ones with tile or slate. Thatch is also very effective in commercial settings such as restaurants, storefront mansards, taverns, and retail shops.
