Understanding Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Warranties 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 preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether used for seaside huts, 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 limited guarantees. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you go for 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, needing regular repair. Adding new roofing layers 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 lower sales.
Weakened Framework
A reduced assurance term implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an build-up of fastener marks in your underlying system. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially requiring repairs or full replacements. Using a compromised frame poses risks, as visitors could fear to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, concerned about falling debris.
Low-Grade Components
In order to balance the smaller profit margin and tight margins, vendors may use second-hand waste that are imported discards. As a result, inferior compounds are often used for producing artificial thatch roofs, leading to inconsistent durability and decreased longevity. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your resort.
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.
