Palmex International Inc. is currently the world leader in the production and distribution of synthetic palm leaves used in the construction and renovation of traditional thatch roofing. In order to meet home-owner’s needs and surpass commercial investor expectations, our team has worked on designing and developing a product that is both durable and ecologicallysound, with classic esthetics. It stands as a highly-effective substitute for the commonly-used natural palm leaves, which are now classified as endangered species and protected in numerous countries. Palmex materials meet with the strictest safety standards, and with building and construction norms currently in place globally. Our leaves and accessories adapt to fit any architectural style or roofing type. Weather-proof, UV-resistant and waterproof: these are the Palmex guarantees, thanks to the high quality polyethylene and to a manufacturing and installation process that are both unique and patented.

Aloha / Bora Bora thatch looking from the under roof

B o r a A l o h a

Aloha and Bora Bora leaves have been especially designed to be laid directly on a roofing frame with a patented railing system. This leaf type offers two distinct technical advantages: full and effective exterior coverage in any weather, plus an exposed underside providing a more traditional esthetic from the inside that proves popular in many countries. This product provides exceptional storm-resistance and wind-resistance. A fire-retardant option is also available for this product. The Aloha leaf boasts the same technical attributes as the Bora Bora leaf. The only difference between them is the esthetic design properties: the Aloha is designed with a finer tip, which more closely resembles the Coconut Palm.
