Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Modern synthetic thatching have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering easy care 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, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for property owners, it is imperative to focus on acquiring reliable and certified roofing with long-term guarantees. The practice of attracting buyers through cheap pricing is a longstanding tradition in the business world, and the thatching trade is no different.
Businesses must be cautious about vendors offering synthetic thatch roofs at cheap deals but with reduced coverage periods. Here's how your brand, and potentially your public image, can suffer when you go for 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 raising long-term costs. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Failing to address them can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty implies regular refurbishments, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your base structure. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially causing the need for reinforcement or full replacements. Leaving it unrepaired poses risks, as visitors could fear to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, worrying about its safety.
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, poor-grade polymers are often used for producing synthetic roofing systems, leading to unsatisfactory performance and decreased longevity. Ultimately, this can damage your operational returns of your venture.
False Claims Without Commitment
Manufacturers of products with reduced warranty terms often refuse formal guarantees to bypass accountability. At best, they might offer verbal assurances to customers before the sale, which offer no legal backing. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
