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 business investors who select them rather than natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, enhancing theme parks, accenting luxury landscapes, or fitting private retreats, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
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 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 replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Ignoring such problems can disappoint customers, damage the brand's reputation, and lower sales.
Weakened Framework
A reduced assurance term suggests more frequent replacements, leading to an build-up of fastener marks in your roof foundation. Over time, this can damage the frame, potentially requiring repairs or costly replacements. Using a compromised frame poses hazards, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, worrying about its safety.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for the lower retail cost and minimal returns, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics 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.
Verbal Guarantees with No Value
Sellers with shorter guarantees often refrain from providing written commitments to sidestep liability. At best, they might make spoken promises to customers before the sale, which lack any legal validity. If any quality disputes arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
