Exploring Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Lesser Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Faux thatch roof systems have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering very little maintenance 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, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
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.
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 take a hit when you invest in an synthetic roofing system with a limited warranty:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A shorter guarantee implies that the roofing quality is poor, needing regular repair. Installing the new thatch involves dismantling previous layers 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, tarnish your brand image, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A limited guarantee signals regular refurbishments, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your base structure. Over time, this can compromise the integrity, potentially demanding expensive fixes or extensive refurbishment. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as people may avoid to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for the lower retail cost 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 poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability of your business.
Just Hollow Promises…
Vendors with limited coverage often avoid giving written assurances to avoid legal obligations. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any performance problems arise, you may have no resolution path.
