Reasons Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Coverage Periods Can Spell Trouble for Your Company
Faux thatch roof systems have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at leisure locations and entertainment venues. Offering very little maintenance requirements, greater longevity, ease of installation, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, adding charm to themed venues, complementing scenic environments, or fitting private retreats, synthetic thatch roofs are making a lasting mark.
While adopting synthetic roofing may be a progressive choice for business owners, it is essential to prioritise purchasing reliable and certified roofing with long-term guarantees. The habit of attracting buyers through cheap pricing is a old tradition in the business world, and the faux roofing market is no different.
Businesses must be cautious about vendors providing synthetic thatch roofs at cheap deals but with limited guarantees. Here’s why your property, and potentially your public image, can face trouble when you invest in an artificial thatch roof with a shorter guarantee:
Be Cautious of Leakage Issues
A shorter guarantee indicates that the quality of the thatching is poor, leading to repeated maintenance. Replacing worn thatch involves dismantling previous layers and mounting a new layer over the base. Any unsealed joints during installation could lead to leaks, causing roofing failures and increasing expenses. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Failing to address them can upset guests, impact your goodwill, and lower sales.
Weakened Framework
A shorter warranty signals regular refurbishments, 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 extensive refurbishment. Ignoring wear and tear poses risks, as people may avoid to spend time under a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, worrying about its safety.
Substandard Material
In order to offset the smaller profit margin and narrow profit margins, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are essentially waste discarded by other countries. As a result, poor-grade polymers are often utilised in making faux Synthetic Thatch Roof thatch covers, leading to unsatisfactory performance and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can damage your operational returns of your resort.
Empty Assurances and No Accountability
Producers with lesser warranties often avoid giving written assurances to evade responsibility. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which offer no legal backing. If any post-sales issues arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
