Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and resort zones. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who choose them instead of natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, elevating leisure parks, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a smart choice for property owners, it is essential to focus on acquiring genuine, premium-grade materials 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. Below is how your brand, and potentially your public image, can suffer when you go for 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 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, tarnish your brand image, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty 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 causing the need for reinforcement or extensive refurbishment. Leaving it unrepaired poses danger, as people may avoid to stay near a thatch roof supported by a vulnerable support, especially during heavy winds or storms.
Substandard Material
In order to recover from the cheap price tag and thin profitability, makers opt for reused raw materials that are unfit industrial leftovers. As a result, poor-grade polymers are often used for producing synthetic roofing systems, leading to unsatisfactory performance and reduced strength or stability. Ultimately, this can damage your operational returns of your venture.
Empty Assurances and No Accountability
Manufacturers of products with reduced warranty terms often refuse formal guarantees to bypass accountability. At best, they might offer verbal assurances to customers before the sale, which cannot be upheld in disputes. If any after-sales concerns arise, you may be left helpless.
