Reasons Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Warranties Can Cause Problems for Your Company
Synthetic thatch roofs have become highly sought-after, particularly at leisure locations and recreational hotspots. Offering low maintenance requirements, prolonged service life, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are appealing to project owners who choose them instead of natural thatch. Whether gracing coastal cottages, elevating leisure parks, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While choosing synthetic thatch 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 low costs but with reduced coverage periods. Here's how your brand, and potentially your customer trust, can suffer when you go for an synthetic roofing system with a smaller assurance period:
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 lead to leaks, causing roofing failures and causing financial strain. Additionally, strong gusts can penetrate through holes. Leaving them unattended can upset guests, 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 compromise the integrity, potentially demanding expensive fixes or complete overhauls. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as guests may be reluctant to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, worrying about its safety.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for the reduced selling price and narrow profit margins, manufacturers prefer recycled materials that are essentially waste discarded by other countries. As a result, low-quality materials are often incorporated into plastic thatch panels, leading to reduced strength and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability 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 cannot be upheld in disputes. If any post-sales issues arise, you may be left helpless.
