Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and recreational hotspots. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are appealing to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, adding charm to themed venues, complementing scenic environments, or completing high-end properties, synthetic thatch roofs are leaving an enduring impression.
While adopting synthetic roofing may be a progressive choice for resort operators, it is vital to ensure you buy genuine, premium-grade materials with extensive warranties. The tactic of tempting customers using discounts is a common tradition in the business world, and the faux roofing market is no different.
It’s best to steer clear of market players providing synthetic thatch roofs at low costs but with shorter warranties. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you choose an artificial thatch roof with a restricted coverage:
Be Cautious of Leakage Issues
A limited warranty often means that the quality of the thatching is below par, requiring frequent replacement. Replacing worn thatch involves removing the old one and replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Failing to address them can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty signals regular refurbishments, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your base structure. Over time, this can compromise the integrity, potentially demanding expensive fixes or extensive refurbishment. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as people may avoid to stay near a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.
Compromised Manufacturing Quality
In order to offset the lower retail cost and narrow profit margins, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are foreign rejects. As a result, low-quality materials are often incorporated into plastic thatch panels, leading to reduced strength and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability of your business.
Just Hollow Promises…
Vendors with limited coverage often avoid giving written assurances to avoid legal obligations. At best, they might verbally convince clients to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
