Palmex: durable, low maintenance, and eco-responsible roof solution.

Palmex Tropical Roofs

Based in the South Zone and operating since 2007, Techos Tropicales Palmex is the exclusive distributor of Palmex synthetic leaves in Costa Rica. With a crew of only 8 persons and being located in a remote village, it has proudly served many of the most famous eco lodges of the country (Tabacon Thermal Resort, Luna Lodge Turismo Sostenible, Lapa Rios Lodge, for example), government institutions like the INA (Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje), historic and cultural sites (Guayabo, Museo de Oro, Museo de los Ninos) and hundreds of beautiful hotels, restaurants and houses. The key to that success? Lots of dedication, an excellent team and a fantastic product.

Made in Canada and installed on roofs in over 50 countries on 5 continents, Palmex produces a very realistic-looking, eco-responsible, low maintenance and long-term thatch solution that respects the beauty of traditional palm leaf roofing. Its leaves are free of any toxic substances, designed according to ISO 9001-2008 norms, and they undergo a special anti-UV treatment, which translates into great energy savings on air-conditioning and ventilation. Palmex product's lifespan is estimated at 50 years or more. Nonetheless, should the circumstances require it, Palmex leaves can be dismantled and reused. They are totally recyclable. Even if, for the question of duration and warranty, they are not made only of recycled plastics, they are, as a polypropylene material, a recycling product of the residues generated by the transformation of raw petroleum into fuel. This is why it has been granted the most important international and national certifications in eco-building, such as Intertek, CSTB, ISO 9001, Bodycote, etc.

PALMEX products have been meticulously designed to provide a permanent solution to the problematic issue of the massive over-harvesting of natural resources throughout the planet for the purpose of building exotic roofing. They help minimize the adverse effects of economic growth and tourism development on the natural environment, making them a responsible choice for any project.
