Understanding Why Artificial Thatch Roofs with Reduced Warranties Can Lead to Issues for Your Company
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become commonplace, particularly at leisure locations and entertainment venues. Offering low maintenance requirements, prolonged service life, hassle-free fitting, and enhanced return on investment, these roofs are appealing to property developers who choose them instead of natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, elevating leisure parks, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a smart choice for property owners, it is essential to ensure you buy genuine, premium-grade materials with long-term guarantees. The practice of luring customers with low prices is a age-old tradition in the business world, and the faux roofing market is no different.
Businesses must be cautious about vendors providing synthetic thatch roofs at low costs but with limited guarantees. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can suffer when you go for an synthetic roofing system with a smaller assurance period:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A limited warranty often means 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 causing financial strain. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Failing to address them can upset guests, tarnish your brand image, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty signals regular refurbishments, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your support frame. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially demanding expensive fixes or complete overhauls. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as guests may be reluctant to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, worrying about its safety.
Inferior Raw Materials
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 weak resistance to elements. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability of your business.
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.
