Advantages of having the best thatched roofs Dorset has seen fitted to your home
Naturally insulates
Rather than wasting money on expensive insulation methods, choose Dorset thatched roofs. Due to the materials used in their construction, our thatched roofs provide natural insulation that is guaranteed to keep your property warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Blends in seamlessly with the surrounding area
Unlike tiles and slates which stand out in a rural area thanks to their bold colours and textures, thatching blends in far more seamlessly with the surrounding area. As they age, the materials begin to change colour taking on a far more natural hue. With the finest thatched roofs Dorset has to offer, you’ll have a roof that fits in harmoniously.
Environmentally friendly
Thatched roofs in Dorset are the eco-friendly option and are ideal for those who are interested in protecting the environment. The primary materials are grown and harvested largely by hand with manual tools. Plus, unlike tiles and slates, thatching requires little to no processing, so there is no machinery polluting the environment.
Can be shaped to look natural
If you’re looking for a house that exudes character then Dorset thatched roofs are the answer. Whereas conventional roofing is defined by straight edges and artificial textures, the natural qualities of thatching really shine through. Thatching can also be shaped in such a way that allows for the freedom to create truly unique designs.
Low-cost
While time-consuming, creating the most eye-catching thatched roofs Dorset has experienced needn’t cost a fortune. In fact, when compared with other roofing techniques, the cost is relatively low considering the positive effect such a roof has on a property.
