Understanding Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Warranties Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become highly sought-after, particularly at leisure locations and recreational hotspots. Offering low maintenance requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether used for seaside huts, adding charm to themed venues, complementing scenic environments, or completing high-end properties, synthetic thatch roofs are leaving an enduring impression.
While selecting faux thatch may be a progressive choice for resort operators, it is vital to prioritise purchasing authentic, high-quality products with comprehensive protection. The habit of tempting customers using discounts is a common tradition in the business world, and the artificial thatch industry is no different.
It’s best to steer clear of market players providing synthetic thatch roofs at low costs but with limited guarantees. Here's how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you go for an artificial thatch roof with a smaller assurance period:
Be Cautious of Leakage Issues
A limited warranty often means that the quality of the thatching 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 lead to leaks, causing dampness and causing financial strain. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Leaving them unattended can upset guests, harm your credibility, and cause financial losses.
Structural Weakness
A limited guarantee indicates 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 leading to major restoration or complete overhauls. Continuing with a weakened structure poses safety concerns, 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 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 resort.
False Claims Without Commitment
Producers with lesser warranties often refrain from providing written commitments to sidestep liability. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which lack any legal validity. If any performance problems arise, you may end up without support.
