Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Faux thatch roof systems have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, simple 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 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 get hold of 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 business, and potentially your public image, can take a hit 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 unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing dampness 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.
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 requiring repairs or full replacements. Using a compromised frame poses hazards, 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 lower retail cost and minimal returns, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are foreign rejects. As a result, low-quality materials are often utilised in making plastic thatch panels, leading to reduced strength and poor structural reliability. 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 evade responsibility. At best, they might make spoken promises to customers before the sale, which lack any legal validity. If any quality disputes arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
