Commercial Thatching, Built to Last
Fire-compliant, architect-approved thatch roofing for hotels, beach clubs, restaurants and commercial developments — delivered on spec, on time, across Spain and Portugal.
Not Your Average Construction Company
Cape Reed International is a leading provider of sustainable outdoor living solutions, specialising in bespoke thatched structures for the hospitality, leisure and residential sectors. For more than two decades our craftsmen have combined traditional cape reed thatching techniques with rigorous quality control, delivering roofs built to perform in Spain's coastal heat, wind and sun — from beach clubs and hotel terraces to private villas.
Commercial thatching demands more than good looks. Restaurants, hotels and beach clubs need roofing that withstands daily footfall, coastal salt air and constant sun, without losing its authentic character. Our thatchers hand-lay ethically sourced cape reed over engineered timber substructures, treated with Cape Reed Fireshield for added fire resistance and backed by a 15-year structural guarantee.
Partnering With Architects & Design Teams
Cape Reed works directly with architecture, design and landscaping practices from concept through completion — wherever in Spain or Portugal your project is sited. We bring the technical detail your drawings need and the delivery reliability your timeline depends on.
Technical Documentation, Not Guesswork
Engineering drawings, Fireshield fire-test documentation and structural load data — ready for your submittals, permitting and client presentations.
We Build to Your Design Intent
We work from your architectural drawings and vision, engineering the substructure and detailing around your design — not a fixed catalogue template.
Nationwide & Cross-Border Delivery
Costa del Sol, Lisbon, or inland — our own teams manage design, supply and installation start to finish, wherever the site is.
