Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Reduced Warranties Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become commonplace, particularly at tourist destinations and entertainment venues. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, straightforward setup, and better ROI, these roofs are favourable to business investors who favour them compared to natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, enhancing theme parks, enhancing curated gardens, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for entrepreneurs, it is essential to focus on acquiring reliable and certified roofing with long-term guarantees. The trend of tempting customers using discounts 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 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 quality of the thatching is below par, requiring frequent replacement. Adding new roofing layers involves taking off existing thatch and replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during Artificial Thatch Roof installation could cause water entry, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Ignoring such problems can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and lower sales.
Weakened Framework
A reduced assurance term implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an build-up of fastener marks in your underlying system. 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, concerned about falling debris.
Low-Grade Components
In order to balance the smaller profit margin and minimal returns, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are foreign rejects. As a result, inferior compounds are often utilised in making plastic thatch panels, leading to inconsistent durability and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your business.
Just Hollow Promises…
Vendors with limited coverage often avoid giving written assurances to sidestep liability. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any performance problems arise, you may end up without support.
