Reasons Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Lesser Warranties Can Spell Trouble for Your Business
Artificial thatch roofing solutions have become widely popular, particularly at resorts and entertainment venues. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, greater longevity, hassle-free fitting, and higher profitability, these roofs are attractive to project owners who favour them compared to natural thatch. Whether beautifying beach cafés, adding charm to themed venues, accenting luxury landscapes, or gracing private villas, synthetic thatch roofs are becoming a defining feature.
While choosing synthetic thatch may be a progressive choice for business owners, it is essential to prioritise purchasing reliable and certified roofing with extensive warranties. The trend of luring customers with low prices is a old tradition in the business world, and the thatching trade is no different.
Customers should avoid manufacturers providing synthetic thatch roofs at tempting prices but with limited guarantees. Here’s why your brand, and potentially your market credibility, can suffer when you choose an synthetic roofing system with a restricted coverage:
Keep an Eye on Roof Leaks
A reduced assurance implies that the quality of the thatching is substandard, requiring frequent replacement. Installing the new thatch involves removing the old one and fixing fresh thatch onto the frame. Any unsealed joints during installation could lead to leaks, causing waterproofing problems and causing financial strain. Additionally, wind can cause air to seep in. Leaving them unattended can disappoint customers, tarnish your brand image, and potentially reduce revenue.
Support Structure Concerns
A brief coverage period implies ongoing replacement cycles, leading to an build-up of fastener marks in your support frame. Over time, this can damage the frame, potentially demanding expensive fixes or costly replacements. Leaving it unrepaired poses safety concerns, as visitors could fear to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a weak foundation, especially during heavy winds or storms.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to balance the reduced selling price and minimal returns, makers opt for reused raw materials that are essentially waste discarded by other countries. As a result, poor-grade polymers are often applied to create plastic thatch panels, leading to unsatisfactory performance and weak resistance to elements. Ultimately, this can affect your bottom line of your venture.
Verbal Guarantees with No Value
Manufacturers of products with lesser warranties often refrain from providing written commitments to avoid legal obligations. At best, they might make spoken promises to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may find yourself without any recourse.
