FAQs about Bora Bora - Palm Thatch:

What kind of upkeep does Palmas require?

A very reassuring answer: the Palmas requires practically no upkeep! Dirt from birds, twigs from tress, etc. will disappear with the first rainfall, or with the pressure from a stream of water. The high quality polymer used confers an exceptional protection against insects and all other destructive organisms

Do the leaves give off an odor?

The intrinsic properties of the polymers used will not tolerate any foreign element, whether chemical or organic. The absolute neutrality of the polymer used by Palmas is proven in its daily use as water jerry cans, milk cans, gas, etc

How does Palmas react to wind?

Because of both their quantity and density, the leaves tied to each other already provide a considerable collective weight. In addition, attaching the rails to the trusses also increases the strength of the construction. Clips are nevertheless available and suggested at certain latitudes

How does Palmas react to the strongest winds?

Attaching clips offers a better guarantee against very high winds. For winds from tropical storms, flexibility becomes a very efficient safety factor. In extreme wind conditions, the leaves under attack let the excess wind pressure through in order to eliminate the devastating delta effect that is so well known in construction circles

What guarantees are offered against fire?

Perfected by Palmas, the fireproof material we offer is rated at V0 in Canadian and US standards. In France, it is homologated at M3 at the CSTB under number RA03-0141. It therefore respects the rules in effect for the construction of buildings in public locations. The user must verify the legal standards for each country

What are the advantages as far as the installation is concerned

As far as the installation is concerned, a very large saving of time is the main advantage of Palmas' products. The installation of our traditional products assumes the use of professional installers, but our DOMINGO model is easier to install on existing surfaces. The installation of a roof will always remain a meticulous operation that must be carefully carried out in order to profit from a more durable protection

What is Palmas' lifespan?

When installed in conditions advocated by the manufacturer, Palmas' texture and composition are guaranteed for 20 years, and its color, 15 years. The latter's variation is guaranteed, with an average loss of 1% per year. The process of premature ageing in the factory offers a better guarantee of conserving the color

What about noise during a rainstorm?

In heavy rain, Palmas offers a distinctive resistance to resonance. The polymer base allows the water to slide off quickly and without resistance. The contour of the leaves and their quantity allows an incomparable drainage

What insures protection from heat?

The number of air cavities located between each leaf insures protection from the heat of the sun. This characteristic offers a very pleasing result when compared to any other known concept.
