A novel roofing material simulating natural thatch and methods of applying the roofing material comprises the provision of simulated thatch shingles or rolls of such material. The shingles or rolls are formed of elongate reeds or thatch elements formed of a polymer material and arranged in laterally extending bundles. The thatch elements are folded and secured to a binder and are secured to an appropriate substrate which is secured to the roof. Each shingle or roll extends in overlying relation to produce a shingled arrangement which simulates a natural thatched roof. |
