About Our Thatch

Developed originally for resorts and theme parks, the Palm Island Thatch sold here is made only from the most valued Mexican palm thatch which is hand selected for durability and the same thatch used in movie sets, hotels and resorts. The material is easy to work with and adheres quickly and readily for near-instant Polynesian mood. Being the largest the largest importers in the U.S. we are able to offer the same premium thatch roofing materials at wholesale pricing to the public.

Our commitment to being completely green begins with the way the materials are collected to respect the integrity of the plant and contribute to rapid and rigorous renewal of the palm thatch. We are judicious in our removal of only the quality shoots and leaves, leaving the remainder of the plant intact to renew as it provides a stable habitat for wildlife.
Sunset Bamboo’s corporate responsibility extends to the community and people who contribute to the products we make for you. Our efforts extend out to help alleviate poverty in the communities we work, and contribute to the sustainable development of rural economies.

We ensure that a higher return is given to the people who cut the palm leaves and those in the smaller villages that weave our final product. The eco-palm producers who support us in Mexico follow guidelines similar to those for certified chocolate and coffee and support our efforts to protect the environment and native cultures.
