Understanding Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Warranties Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and hospitality spaces. Offering easy care requirements, extended lifespan, simple installation, and better ROI, these roofs are attractive to business investors who select them rather than natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, enhancing theme parks, beautifying designer landscapes, or fitting private retreats, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for property owners, it is imperative to focus on acquiring 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. Below is how your brand, and potentially your public image, can suffer when you go for an synthetic roofing system with a smaller assurance period:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A limited warranty 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 unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing dampness 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 affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A reduced assurance term implies repetitive roof changes, leading to an excessive structural punctures in your underlying system. Over time, this can weaken the support frame, potentially causing the need for reinforcement or full 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, poor-grade polymers are often used for producing artificial thatch roofs, leading to unsatisfactory performance and decreased longevity. 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 offer no legal backing. If any after-sales concerns arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
