Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Reduced Warranties Can Be Risky for Your Business
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become commonplace, particularly at tourist destinations and recreational hotspots. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether used for seaside huts, 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 authentic, high-quality products with extensive warranties. The tactic of luring customers with low prices is a common tradition in the business world, and the faux roofing market is no different.
It’s best to steer clear of market players providing synthetic thatch roofs at low costs but with limited guarantees. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you choose an artificial thatch roof with a smaller assurance period:
Be Cautious of Leakage Issues
A limited warranty often means 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 increasing expenses. Additionally, breezes can infiltrate weak points. Leaving them unattended can frustrate visitors, impact your goodwill, and lower sales.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty suggests ongoing replacement cycles, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your support frame. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially leading to major restoration or costly replacements. Continuing with a weakened structure poses hazards, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.
Substandard Material
In order to offset 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 resort.
Just Hollow Promises…
Vendors with limited coverage often avoid giving written assurances to avoid legal obligations. At best, they might verbally convince clients to customers before the sale, which cannot be upheld in disputes. If any post-sales issues arise, you may be left helpless.
