Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Coverage Periods Can Spell Trouble for Your Establishment
Modern synthetic thatching have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and resort zones. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, extended lifespan, ease of installation, and higher profitability, these roofs are favourable to resort planners who favour them compared to natural thatch. Whether adorning beachfront shacks, transforming amusement parks, accenting luxury landscapes, or fitting private retreats, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While opting for artificial thatch may be a modern choice for business owners, it is imperative to get hold of reliable and certified roofing with solid coverage. The trend of attracting buyers through cheap pricing is a longstanding tradition in the business world, and the thatching trade is no different.
You should avoid manufacturers offering synthetic thatch roofs at cheap deals but with reduced coverage periods. Below is 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 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, wind can cause air to seep in. Ignoring such problems can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and lower sales.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your base structure. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially causing the need for reinforcement or full replacements. Leaving it unrepaired poses risks, as visitors could fear to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, especially during heavy winds or storms.
Compromised Manufacturing Quality
In order to balance the smaller profit margin and tight margins, vendors may use second-hand waste that are imported discards. As a result, inferior compounds are often used for producing artificial thatch roofs, leading to inconsistent durability and decreased longevity. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line 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 hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
