Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Lesser Guarantees Can Be Risky for Your Business
Faux thatch roof systems have become increasingly prevalent, particularly at resorts and hospitality spaces. Offering easy care requirements, greater longevity, 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, accenting luxury 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 long-term guarantees. The practice 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 invest in an synthetic roofing system with a limited warranty:
Water Seepage Can Become a Nightmare
A shorter guarantee implies that the roofing quality is poor, demanding recurring fixes. 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, air gaps allow wind to pass through. 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 accumulation of drilled points in your support frame. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially leading to major restoration or complete overhauls. Continuing with a weakened structure poses safety concerns, as guests may be reluctant to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, worrying about its safety.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for the lower retail cost and narrow profit margins, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics 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 affect your bottom line of your business.
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 have no resolution path.
