Understanding Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Reduced Warranties Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become highly sought-after, particularly at leisure locations and recreational hotspots. Offering low maintenance requirements, prolonged service life, hassle-free fitting, and improved value for money, these roofs are appealing to project owners who choose them instead of 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 reliable and certified roofing with solid coverage. The habit of tempting customers using discounts is a age-old tradition in the business world, and the thatching trade is no different.
You should avoid manufacturers selling synthetic thatch roofs at tempting prices but with minimal assurance. Here’s why your project, and potentially your market credibility, can be at risk when you choose an artificial roof covering with a restricted coverage:
Be Cautious of Leakage Issues
A reduced assurance suggests that the quality of the thatching is below par, requiring frequent replacement. Replacing worn thatch involves removing the old one and replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during installation could cause water entry, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Ignoring such problems can disappoint customers, 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 damage the frame, potentially requiring repairs or full replacements. Using a compromised frame poses hazards, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, 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 inconsistent durability and poor structural reliability. 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.
