Welcome to Fiber Thatch Seychelles
How Our Journey Started in the Seychelles
Our Fiber Thatch Seychelles Story Started On Fregate Island...
Fiber Thatch Seychelles began on Fregate Island, a beautiful private resort in Seychelles, owned by Dr. Happel. The island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean and is home to an abundance of bird life. The island features some of the world’s most amazing beaches with white sand, and crystal-clear waters and has a very unique ambiance that focuses on exclusivity and that sought-after absolute relaxation and recharging of its rich and famous guests.
At the time the resort had been in operation for about 9 years and the roofs had already been re-thatched 3 times by conventional thatch roof contractors! The time down and loss of revenue were tremendous! To say that they had very serious problems with all the thatch roofs of the resort on the island is truly an understatement.
Our Seychelles Projects
Fiber Roofing was 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!
Fregate Island
Fregate Island, a beautiful private resort in Seychelles, is owned by Dr. Happel. The island features some of the world’s most amazing beaches with white sand, and crystal-clear waters.
At the time the resort had been in operation for about 9 years and the roofs had already been re-thatched 3 times by conventional thatch.
The time down and loss of revenue were tremendous! After undertaking this ± 16000 m² project we can proudly say that in the past 16 years they have never had to re-thatch a single roof.
La Digue island Lodge
La Digue Island Lodge is one of the most unique and vintage establishments of Seychelles - surrounded by a lush green environment and a private stretch of beach.
Nestled at the heart of 17.51 acres of sprawling grounds at Anse Reunion.
One of our favorite comparisons between before and after projects has to be the ± 600 m² pool area of La Digue Island Lodge. The roofs were finished in our traditional Fiber Reed Synthetic Thatch Tiles.
Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie
It is in this haven of peace and serenity that Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie harbors a cozy and private getaway in Seychelles.
The tropical setting, local architecture, and the warmth of wood in a pure zen style combine harmoniously to celebrate the “home away from home” unique experience on La Digue Island.
At ± 4500m² Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie had a complete refurbishment of all its roofs in the more traditional style associated with our Fiber Reed Synthetic Thatch.
Finished off with a drooping eave finish, this style fits in perfectly with the more natural look of Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie.
