Exploring Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Lesser Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Faux thatch roof systems have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at tourist destinations and hospitality spaces. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, simple installation, and better ROI, these roofs are attractive to property developers 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 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.
You should avoid 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 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. Adding new roofing layers involves taking off existing thatch and securing the new roofing over the support structure. Any loose fittings during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing dampness and causing financial strain. Additionally, air gaps allow wind to pass through. Failing to address them can affect user comfort, damage the brand's reputation, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your base structure. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially causing the need for reinforcement or full Artificial Thatch Roof replacements. Leaving it unrepaired poses risks, as visitors could fear to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, especially during heavy winds or storms.
Compromised Manufacturing Quality
In order to balance the smaller profit margin and tight margins, vendors may use second-hand waste that are imported discards. As a result, inferior compounds are often used for producing artificial thatch roofs, leading to inconsistent durability and decreased longevity. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your resort.
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 post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
