Reasons Why Artificial Thatch Roofs with Lesser Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Faux thatch roof systems have become commonplace, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, simple installation, and better ROI, these roofs are favourable to business investors who select them rather than 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 forward-thinking 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.
Businesses must be cautious about vendors offering synthetic thatch roofs at cheap deals but with reduced coverage periods. 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 roofing quality is poor, needing regular repair. Adding new roofing layers involves taking off existing thatch and replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Failing to address them 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 weaken the support frame, potentially requiring repairs or full replacements. Using a compromised frame poses hazards, as visitors could fear to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, concerned about falling debris.
Low-Grade Components
In order to balance the smaller profit margin and minimal returns, vendors may use second-hand waste that are foreign rejects. As a result, inferior compounds are often utilised in making artificial thatch roofs, 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 have no resolution path.
