Which Synthetic Palm to Choose?

SPARKS-RESISTANT SYNTHETIC PALM?

FIRE-RETARDANT SYNTHETIC PALM?

Palapas built with natural material, in addition to requiring a lot of maintenance, wither and rot relatively quickly, allowing water to filter inside. Moreover, they catch fire with remarkable ease upon contact with incandescent charcoal embers, sparks or fireworks residue launched into the air during festivities.

Under these conditions, fire can spread rapidly until it becomes impossible to control, causing major disasters, such as those that have occurred in the recent past at properties of renowned hotel chains that were completely consumed by fire.

For a long time we have observed that all palm roofs catch fire for two reasons:

ACCIDENTS ARISING FROM DAILY ACTIVITIES:

Hot coals from a barbecue
Fireworks residues
Sparks from birthday candles
Short circuit
Cigarette butt

INTENTIONALLY:

Direct exposure to fire
Causing the flame with a blowtorch

To combat these eventualities, synthetic palm for palm roofs and tropical ceilings was born on the market, in different presentations, versions, tones and designs.

At Palapas Sintéticas de México we dedicate ourselves to finding a solution for each case, because the heat generated by accidental causes is not the same magnitude as the heat produced when someone intentionally wants to start a fire.

Understanding that not all risks are the same, we saw the need to design two different levels of protection to manufacture synthetic palm, depending on the different heat sources, because the most common risk is present in everyday causes, not extraordinary ones.

After testing multiple formulations and tests with different compositions of raw materials, we achieved two excellent results:

Develop two specific solutions

Designed to respond to the two different types of risk, achieving that one resists the onslaught of accidental fire causes and the other also resists even extreme intentional attacks.

Exceed tear resistance standards

Which we have documented through real and simple physical tests: synthetic palm leaves from various manufacturers are subjected to the manual force of a person trying to tear them. All without exception tear easily and ours resist perfectly without tearing, showing an evident structural superiority. This is possible thanks to our unique formulation, in which the raw materials we use completely preserve the mechanical properties of the material.

Based on these results, our clients can choose the level of protection that best suits their needs and optimize their investment, with the confidence that each option has been designed and tested to meet them.

The versions we offer are:

Comparative table of synthetic palm versions

The difference between both versions is in the level of protection.

Sparks-resistant synthetic palm is designed to prevent combustion from everyday accidental causes and prevent an everyday incident or carelessness from ending in a disaster.

Fire-retardant reinforced synthetic palm is additionally designed to prevent the spread of fire in the event of a intentional attack, or due to the generation of fires that have gained strength in adjacent areas.

All palm roofs are exposed to accidents. Only some are prepared for extreme scenarios.

Cheap is expensive.

Synthetic palm protects you and is paid for once. A fire can cost you much more and does not warn or forgive.
