Understand the crucial differences between premium export-grade Bali thatch and lower-quality local alternatives. Quality matters to ensure the longevity of your tropical paradise.
Premium Quality
Thicker, denser construction with light-colored string for superior durability.
12+ Year Lifespan
C-Grade Quality
Thinner materials with black string that rots quickly in Australian conditions.
Only 1-3 Year Lifespan
We ONLY import "export grade" Bali thatching, NOT "local grade" thatching, which is what most importers bring into Australia. Export grade Bali thatch is stronger and lasts longer. Consistency and continuity of quality across the batch only appears in export grade Bali thatching. Local grade DOES NOT offer the longevity that export grade Bali thatch does.
You want to get this right first time, and not be reinstalling your Bali thatching in 18 months time and spending unnecessary money. See the comparison below! In 10 years we have not had a single customer need their Balinese thatch roof replaced. This speaks volumes about our quality!
Premium A-Grade Quality
Long-Term Investment
Quality that lasts over a decade
Poor C-Grade Quality
Frequent Replacement
Needs replacing every 1-3 years
Export Grade: Light-colored string, thicker material
Local Grade: Black string, thinner material
There are many technical differences between "local grade" and "export grade" Bali thatch. These differences determine how long you can expect your Bali thatch to last.

While export grade thatch may cost more initially, it proves to be much more economical over time.
