Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods 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 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, complementing scenic environments, 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 focus on acquiring reliable and certified roofing with long-term guarantees. The practice of luring customers with low prices is a age-old 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 limited guarantees. Here's how your brand, 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.
Structural Weakness
A limited guarantee signals 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 demanding expensive fixes or complete overhauls. Ignoring wear and tear poses safety concerns, 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…
Manufacturers of products with reduced warranty terms often refuse formal guarantees to bypass accountability. At best, they might verbally convince clients to customers before the sale, which cannot be upheld in disputes. If any after-sales concerns arise, you may end up without support.
