Rioha-with rails
Rioha-with rails style synthetic palapa thatch leaves are designed to be laid directly on a skeleton roof frame with Palmex’s® patented railing system. The Rioha-with rails style synthetic palapa thatch is designed for traditional structures offering a decorative interior aspect and exterior protection in one single step. Rioha-with rails is perfect when your application requires the underside of the roof to be visible.
This offers two distinct technical advantages; full and effective exterior coverage in any weather, and an exposed underside providing a more traditional look from the inside. This roofing product provides exceptional storm-resistance and wind-resistance.
Rioha-without rails
Rioha-without rails leaves are designed to be laid over an existing roof structure such as a plywood subroof, wooden panels, shingles, metal sheeting or any other finished paneling or attached to horizontal purlins.
