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 trusted branded options 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 manufacturers 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 often means that the quality of the thatching is below par, requiring frequent replacement. 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 shorter warranty implies more frequent replacements, leading to an build-up of fastener marks in your roof foundation. Over time, this can damage the frame, potentially requiring repairs or costly replacements. Using a compromised frame poses hazards, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a unstable base, worrying about its safety.
Low-Grade Components
In order to compensate for the smaller profit margin and minimal returns, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are foreign rejects. As a result, inferior compounds are often utilised in making plastic thatch panels, leading to inconsistent durability and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your resort.
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 end up without support.
