Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become highly sought-after, particularly at leisure locations and recreational hotspots. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred 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 authentic, high-quality products 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. Let’s explore how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you choose an artificial thatch roof with a smaller assurance period:
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 taking off existing thatch 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 increase in the number of screw holes 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 rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.
Substandard Material
In order to offset the reduced selling price and narrow profit margins, manufacturers prefer recycled materials that are essentially waste discarded by other countries. As a result, low-quality materials are often incorporated into faux thatch covers, leading to reduced strength and weak resistance to elements. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability of your business.
Verbal Guarantees with No Value
Sellers with shorter guarantees often refrain from providing written commitments to sidestep liability. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any performance problems arise, you may have no resolution path.
