Why Faux 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 minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, elevating leisure parks, complementing scenic environments, or completing high-end properties, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While adopting synthetic roofing 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 luring customers with low prices is a age-old 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 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, strong gusts can penetrate through holes. Leaving them unattended can frustrate visitors, harm your credibility, and cause financial losses.
Structural Weakness
A limited guarantee indicates ongoing replacement cycles, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your support frame. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially demanding expensive fixes or complete overhauls. Ignoring wear and tear poses hazards, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, 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 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 verbally convince clients to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
