• Commercial-grade quality

Two Natural-Looking designs

Viva Synthetic Palm Thatch is available in New Palm and Weathered Palm, allowing you to choose the appearance that best fits your project.

The New Palm color replicates the appearance of freshly installed natural palm leaves as they begin to develop their beautiful golden tropical color. It gives a new tiki hut a fresh, vibrant, exotic appearance.

Weathered Palm recreates the appearance of natural palm leaves after they have been exposed to the elements for a period of time. This creates a more aged, established, and naturally weathered tropical appearance right from the beginning.

 

Viva thatch is available in Folded Style and Fan Style, giving you two different natural palm appearances.

The Folded Style is designed to replicate the way traditional tiki hut builders install natural palm leaves. The leaves are folded and layered to create the authentic texture and dimensional appearance associated with a professionally built natural tiki hut.

If you’re looking for the most natural-looking synthetic tiki hut thatch, the Folded Style is an excellent choice.

The Fan Style is designed to resemble an open palm leaf placed across the tiki hut. Its open-leaf appearance creates a distinctive tropical look while maintaining the durability and long-lasting benefits of synthetic thatch.

100% Waterproof Roof

Viva Synthetic Thatch can provide reliable protection from rain while maintaining the beautiful appearance of a tropical palm roof.

When installed according to manufacturer’s directions, Viva Synthetic Palm Thatch is 100% waterproof, making it an excellent choice for outdoor tiki huts, poolside structures, patios, restaurants, resorts, and commercial and residential applications.

One of the unique advantages of Viva Synthetic Thatch is that a traditional sub-roof is not necessary when the system is properly designed and installed.

In fact, not using a sub-roof allows you to see the beautiful underside of the individual synthetic palm leaves, creating more of the open, natural appearance people love about traditional tiki huts.

Built for the Outdoors

Viva Synthetic Palm Thatch is designed to withstand outdoor conditions without the constant upkeep associated with natural palm thatch.

Because of its design, wind can flow through the thatch, helping the roof handle windy conditions without requiring you to cover it during heavy winds or snow.

Always follow proper installation and structural requirements for your specific location and project.

Practically Maintenance Free

One of the biggest advantages of synthetic thatch is eliminating the regular maintenance associated with natural palm leaves.

Viva Synthetic Thatch:

• Does not rot
• Does not fade
• Does not require regular re-thatching
• Does not shed natural palm leaves
• Requires very little ongoing maintenance
• Maintains its tropical appearance for years

Instead of periodically replacing or repairing natural thatch, you can enjoy a beautiful tropical roof designed for long-term performance.

A Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment

The initial investment in Viva Synthetic Palm Thatch can be higher than traditional natural thatch. However, synthetic thatch can be more economical over the long term.

With a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty and an expected service life that can extend beyond the warranty period, Viva can eliminate many of the recurring costs associated with maintaining and replacing natural thatch.

When you consider the cost of labor, materials, maintenance, repairs, and re-thatching over the years, synthetic palm thatch can be an economical long-term roofing solution.

Class A Fire Rated Synthetic Thatch

Viva Synthetic Thatch is Class A fire rated, making it an excellent option for applications where fire-rating requirements are important.

Its commercial-grade construction makes Viva suitable for a variety of applications, including:

• Restaurants
• Hotels and resorts
• Commercial pool areas
• Tiki bars
• Outdoor entertainment areas
• Country clubs
• Condo and HOA properties
• Theme parks
• Hospitality venues
• Residential tiki huts
• Indoor tropical environments

Whether you’re creating a tropical atmosphere indoors or building an outdoor commercial tiki structure, Viva offers the appearance of natural thatch with the added benefits of a fire-rated synthetic material.

New Tiki Hut Construction or Existing Tiki Hut Renovation

Viva Synthetic Palm Thatch can be installed on new tiki hut construction or used to replace the natural thatch on an existing tiki hut.

When installing synthetic thatch on an existing tiki hut, the placement and spacing of the purlin poles can be different from a traditional natural-thatch installation. Depending on the existing structure, additional wood or framing may need to be added to properly support and install the synthetic thatch panels.

Our team can help determine what your project needs.

How Much Viva Synthetic Thatch Do You Need?

Whether you’re building a new tiki hut, replacing existing natural thatch, or designing a completely custom tropical structure, Suncoast Tiki Huts can help you determine how many Viva Synthetic Thatch panels you’ll need.
