Understanding Why Artificial Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods Can Spell Trouble for Your Establishment
Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and recreational hotspots. Offering low maintenance requirements, prolonged service life, hassle-free fitting, and better ROI, these roofs are attractive to business investors who select them rather than natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, enhancing theme 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 entrepreneurs, it is essential to prioritise purchasing authentic, high-quality products with comprehensive protection. The tactic of tempting customers using discounts is a common tradition in the business world, and the faux roofing market 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 brand, and potentially your customer trust, can suffer when you go for an artificial thatch roof 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 securing the new roofing over the support structure. Any unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing waterproofing problems and increasing expenses. Additionally, breezes can infiltrate weak points. Leaving them unattended can disappoint customers, 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 demanding expensive fixes or extensive refurbishment. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as people may avoid to stay near a thatch roof supported by a vulnerable support, fearing instability or collapse.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to recover from the smaller profit margin and thin profitability, manufacturers prefer recycled materials that are essentially waste discarded by other countries. As a result, low-quality materials are often incorporated into synthetic roofing systems, leading to reduced strength and weak resistance to elements. 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 make spoken promises to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any performance problems arise, you may have no resolution path.
