less moisture >
higher life expectancy
every detail means:
• turning of thatch (less slope)
• increase in thickness (less slope)
• less sun and wind (less drying capacity)
• less drain of water
90. Dak: dikte = 24 cm helling riet = 30°
Kil : dikte = 46 cm helling riet = 14°
91. Life expectancy of a thatched valley
• slope = 75% of optimal
• thickness = 75%
• oriëntation (north) = 75%
• Water volume = 75%
• drying capacity = 75%
life expectancy:
75% x 75% x 75% x 75% x 75% = 24%
Life expectancy of roof +/- 32 years
Valley > 0,24 x 32 = 8 jaar.
96. thatched roof
• renewable and natural
• warm and soft
• easily adapts in every surrounding
• distinguished
• pliable
• high degree of formability
• firesafe even without fire-retardant
• high R values possible
