Fire Protection for Your Thatch Roof - Safety Should Never Be an Afterthought
Thatch roofs are beautiful, but they’re also vulnerable. Without the right thatch roof fire protection, one stray ember or lightning strike can cause devastating damage in seconds. It’s a real concern for homeowners, safari lodge owners, and hospitality spaces across South Africa. Thatch Fire Marshal is a unique water-based formula designed to enhance and protect the appearance of your thatch. Fire Marshall is applied to thatch to prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire.

Certification Notes
- If the thatch is new, the certificate is valid for 5 years. If the roof is old, the certificate is valid for 4 years. If the roof is brushed after the treatment, then the certificate is voided and the treatment has to be redone. We advise clients to always keep a fire extinguisher within easy reach of the thatched area.
