Reasons Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Guarantees Can Spell Trouble for Your Business
Modern synthetic thatching have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, simple installation, and enhanced return on investment, these roofs are attractive to property developers who select them rather than natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, enhancing theme parks, beautifying designer landscapes, or fitting private retreats, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for business owners, it is imperative to focus on acquiring reliable and certified roofing with solid coverage. The trend of attracting buyers through cheap pricing is a longstanding tradition in the business world, and the thatching trade is no different.
You should avoid manufacturers offering synthetic thatch roofs at cheap deals but with reduced coverage periods. Below is how your brand, and potentially your public image, can suffer when you invest in an synthetic roofing system with a limited warranty:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A shorter guarantee implies that the roofing quality is poor, needing regular repair. Adding new roofing layers involves taking off existing thatch and securing the new roofing over the support structure. Any loose fittings during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing dampness and causing financial strain. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Failing to address them can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and lower sales.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your underlying system. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially causing the need for reinforcement 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 utilised in making 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 give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any performance problems arise, you may have no resolution path.
