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 holiday attractions and recreational hotspots. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, ease of installation, and better ROI, these roofs are attractive to property developers who select them rather than natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, enhancing theme parks, accenting luxury landscapes, or completing high-end properties, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While adopting synthetic roofing may be a progressive choice for resort operators, it is vital to prioritise purchasing authentic, high-quality products with long-term guarantees. The trend of attracting buyers through cheap pricing is a old tradition in the business world, and the artificial thatch industry is no different.
It’s best to steer clear of market players promoting synthetic thatch roofs at bargain rates but with shorter warranties. Let’s explore how your property, and potentially your brand reputation, can face trouble when you go for an synthetic roofing system with a limited warranty:
Keep an Eye on Roof Leaks
A shorter guarantee indicates that the grade of materials is substandard, demanding recurring fixes. Installing the new thatch involves dismantling previous layers and fixing fresh thatch onto the frame. Any improperly sealed spots during installation could lead to leaks, causing roofing failures and escalating project costs. Additionally, strong gusts can penetrate through holes. Leaving them unattended can frustrate visitors, harm your credibility, and cause financial losses.
Weakened Framework
A brief coverage period signals regular refurbishments, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your support frame. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially demanding expensive fixes or complete overhauls. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as guests may be reluctant to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for 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 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 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.
