Welcome to Thatch-Safe

The new Fire Safety and Insulation Product for Thatched Roofs.

Thatch-Safe® has been developed with input from thatchers, architects, surveyors, firemen, builders and thatched home owners, and meets the same building regulation (B4) as the Dorset Model. As such this gives another option to architects and thatched property owners in their thatch fire protection solution.

Thatch-Safe is the only fire barrier which has been especially developed for Thatch, which also meets both fire retardant and insulation requirements in a single product. Thatch-Safe achieved LABC (National Building Control) System Approval, Certificate Number 422-12-7177. (2008 – 2011)

This specialist thatch fire protection product has been tested for vapour permeability, because we understand that thatch needs to breathe.

Thatch-Safe has been used on new and older undulating roofs, where it’s excellent due to its flexibility, making it quick and easy to apply round windows, in valleys and around chimneys.
