Reasons Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Shorter Warranties Can Be Risky for Your Company
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and resort zones. Offering low maintenance requirements, greater longevity, hassle-free fitting, and enhanced return on investment, these roofs are favourable to resort planners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether adorning beachfront shacks, transforming amusement parks, complementing scenic environments, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While opting for artificial thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for property owners, it is essential to ensure you buy authentic, high-quality products with comprehensive protection. 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 low costs but with reduced coverage periods. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you opt for an faux thatch roof with a limited warranty:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A limited warranty often means that the quality of the thatching is below par, leading to repeated maintenance. Re-installing roofing involves stripping old material and mounting a new layer over the base. Any loose fittings during installation could cause water entry, causing moisture damage and causing financial strain. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Ignoring such problems can upset guests, tarnish your brand image, and potentially reduce revenue.
Compromised Structural Integrity
A shorter warranty implies ongoing replacement cycles, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your roof foundation. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially causing the need for reinforcement or complete overhauls. Leaving it unrepaired poses safety concerns, as visitors could fear to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, fearing instability or collapse.
Low-Grade Components
In order to recover from the lower retail cost and tight margins, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are imported discards. As a result, low-quality materials are often utilised in making synthetic roofing systems, leading to reduced strength and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can damage your operational returns of your property.
Just Hollow Promises…
Manufacturers of products with reduced warranty terms often skip documentation to evade responsibility. At best, they might offer verbal assurances to customers before the sale, which lack any legal validity. If any quality disputes arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
