thatched roof
Woven straw top
A thatched roof is a roof covering made from dried plant materials such as straw, reeds, or palm leaves, layered and bound together to shed water.
This ancient roofing technique remains common in parts of Britain, Africa, and tropical regions, valued for its insulation properties and rustic aesthetic.
Thatched roofs require specialized craftsmen to build and maintain, and they typically need replacement or repair every few decades.
The cottage had a picturesque thatched roof covered in moss.
