Understanding Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Shorter Coverage Periods 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, hassle-free fitting, and enhanced return on investment, 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 limited guarantees. 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 limited warranty often means that the roofing quality is poor, needing regular repair. Adding new roofing layers involves taking off existing thatch and replacing it on the support system. Any unsealed joints during installation could trigger moisture issues, causing waterproofing problems and raising long-term costs. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Failing to address them can affect user comfort, tarnish your brand image, and affect profitability.
Support Structure Concerns
A shorter warranty 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 recover from the cheap price tag and tight margins, makers opt for reused raw materials that are imported discards. As a result, poor-grade polymers are often used for producing synthetic roofing systems, 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 Synthetic Thatch Roof guarantees to bypass accountability. At best, they might verbally convince clients to customers before the sale, which cannot be upheld in disputes. If any after-sales concerns arise, you may be left helpless.
