Fiber Roofing were contacted and requested to quote on replacing the current thatch with Fiber Reed Synthetic Thatch. Jan Grobler, Danie Vorster and three other thatch roof experts flew to Fregate Island on a fact-finding When they arrived, the “Alang Alang” had been on the roofs for only 18 months and had already decomposed so badly that there were literally holes in the roofs.
We were given the almost impossible task with a nearly impossible deadline: To convert all the roofs on Fregate Island within 4 months! The task entitled to re-do the roofs of the entire resort, approximately 10.000 square meters, in less than 15 weeks. Fiber roofing overcame all adversities! We are proud to say that Fiber Roofing had stellar success. Not only did we replace 10.000 square meters of roofing in just 4 months, but we gave the island a truly exotic feel with specially-designed roofing panels and installation techniques.
Now, almost 15 years later, “Fregate Island Private” still has those same roofs that we installed in 2006. Not a dollar was again spent on roofing maintenance. The roofs look as if they were thatched yesterday!
