This is the third time we have used Palmex (…) to build our dream palapas and we couldn’t be more pleased. The palapas are a key component to giving our backyard paradise the tropical feel we were looking for. The quality of the construction and longevity of the Palmex thatch roofing have given us great peace of mind and we know they will be standing strong and look amazing for many years.”

Mr. Brett Clifford Palmex Aruba

Hello Palmex, I purchased your thatch from Tiki Mundo in 2007 to replace the real grass thatch I had installed on my Tiki Bar/Cabana in 2005. It is now 6 years later and the thatch still looks like new! It has stood up to everything from hot sun, high winds, rain and heavy snow we see here in Massachusetts. I just want to say I love this product, it’s fantastic!! I get comments on it all the time from my guests.”

Mr. Gary Leblanc Tiki Mundo, USA

Thank you so much for getting us this thatch! It went on easily and has held up perfectly in the heavy winds, rain and heat. We wanted to see if we could fool real Hawaiians so we blind folded three and took them to the Tiki to see if they would think they were still in Hawaii. Two out of three Hawaiians could not tell the difference between your thatch and real Hawaiian thatch and the third Hawaiian thougt she was in Fiji… so close enough!!!! We love it and may put it on our house too!!!!”

Mr. Bob and Ms. Alicia Vacchiano Tiki Mundo, USA

Well our Tiki Hut is complete and we are very happy with it. While it is late in the summer I know we will definitely get lots of use for ourselves and friends in the future. Everyone who sees it thinks it’s great.Thank you!”

Ms. Linda Laframboise Tiki Hut Paradise Canada

For his hotel in Cameroon, where it’s 30 degrees under the shade, my customer mentioned that the canopy structure covered with Palmex is pleasant ant that the other structures must be covered with Palmex. With the exotic touch, Palmex is totally appropriate and being flexible, the Palmex can adapt to surfaces.”

Mr. Franz Masson Hotel Zingana, Cameroon

The roof is looking great! Of course, as you can imagine, already there have been many admiring passers-by. Who knew that putting on a roof would pull in so many new acquaintances?”

Ms. Kristine and Mr. Jim Atkinson Palmex Costa Rica

Tonight we had neighbors visiting and they are so excited about the Palmex! In addition, the engineer for our architect was here today and he asked us to provide him with your information. He thinks the product is beautiful.”

Ms. Mary and Mr. Lee Addlemen Palmex Costa Rica

The pavilion on the beach was created about 15 years ago as a venue to host weddings and group functions. The final outcome with the thatch roof and bamboo ceiling looks astonishing both during yoga and Pilates classes as well as during the wedding parties we host at night. From the outside it looks supernatural as well as it blends in very well with the many beach-shade palapas that we have for our guests.”

Manchebo Resort Beach & Spa Aruba

Our Palmex roof really makes the whole look and feel of our house and we feel that it is a very high quality material and the installation was professionally done. We had planned on a roof of tin, insulation and teak… a fairly standard choice in our area, but made a late decision to use Palmex. I cannot imagine this house without Palmex and we are so happy that we made the right decision. When I am in a neighbor’s house with a tin roof and the rain starts coming down it sounds like a Jamaican steel drum marching band and I can’t wait to sit in my house and quietly watch the rain fall. Palmex has so many benefits in the tropics. Thanks!”

Mr. Ture Hoefner Casa Luna Negra, Costa Rica

Withstanding the exposure to rough New England winters, Palmex Thatch roofing is a fresh durable, and amazingly functional alternative to traditional roofing… Gives us the aesthetic appeal we need with the durability and ease to use, which other materials have lacked. Thank you Palmex, simply put… we love it!”

Ms. Cindy Lavoie Tiki Mundo, USA

We are very satisfied with the look and the accomplished work. The compliments are coming from many parts. The only thing remaining is the official opening on July 28th. Thank you!”

Mr. Guy Lapolice Canada

TESTIMONIALS > VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE

….we have been using your product for the past 10 years and it has shown its durability and catchy look. Not many people can tell the difference but certainly can feel the difference. When we first purchased Palmex products people here were hesitant due to it not being proven in our country. and we have proven it. for the past 10 years we have NOT replaced a single sheet of Palmex material…”
