Exploring Why Artificial 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, beautifying designer landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are undeniably leaving their imprint.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a forward-thinking choice for property owners, it is vital to ensure you buy genuine, premium-grade materials with long-term guarantees. The practice of luring customers with low prices is a old tradition in the business world, and the synthetic roofing sector is no different.
Customers should avoid suppliers selling synthetic thatch roofs at tempting prices but with minimal assurance. Here’s why your project, and potentially your market credibility, can be at risk when you opt for an artificial roof covering with a shorter guarantee:
Watch Out for Water Seepage..!
A restricted coverage indicates that the durability of the product is inferior, leading to repeated maintenance. Re-installing roofing involves stripping old material and mounting a new layer over the base. Any improperly sealed spots during installation could result in seepage, causing roofing failures and escalating project costs. Additionally, strong gusts can penetrate through holes. Neglecting these issues can frustrate visitors, harm your credibility, and potentially reduce revenue.
Compromised Structural Integrity
A brief coverage period indicates ongoing replacement cycles, leading to an accumulation of drilled points in your roof foundation. Over time, this can undermine the strength, potentially leading to major restoration or costly replacements. Continuing with a weakened structure poses safety concerns, as customers might hesitate to sit beneath a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, worrying about its safety.
Low-Grade Components
In order to balance the lower retail cost and minimal returns, some Synthetic Thatch Roof producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are imported discards. As a result, inferior compounds are often utilised in making artificial thatch roofs, leading to inconsistent durability and decreased longevity. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your resort.
Empty Assurances and No Accountability
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 hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
