Why Faux Thatch Roofs with Limited Coverage Periods Can Spell Trouble for Your Establishment
Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and resort zones. Offering minimal upkeep requirements, long-lasting durability, straightforward setup, and improved value for money, these roofs are preferred to project owners who prefer them over natural thatch. Whether used for seaside huts, adding charm to themed venues, enhancing curated gardens, or decorating residential villas, synthetic thatch roofs are becoming a defining feature.
While opting for artificial thatch may be a modern choice for entrepreneurs, it is crucial to prioritise purchasing authentic, high-quality products with comprehensive protection. The habit of tempting customers using discounts is a common tradition in the business world, and the artificial thatch industry is no different.
Customers should avoid suppliers promoting synthetic thatch roofs at bargain rates but with shorter warranties. Let’s explore how your project, and potentially your brand reputation, can be at risk when you choose an artificial roof covering with a restricted coverage:
Watch Out for Water Seepage..!
A reduced assurance suggests that the durability of the product is inferior, requiring frequent replacement. Replacing worn thatch involves removing the old one and mounting a new layer over the base. Any missed screw holes during installation could result in seepage, causing moisture damage and increasing expenses. Additionally, breezes can infiltrate weak points. Neglecting these issues can disappoint customers, impact your goodwill, and potentially reduce revenue.
Compromised Structural Integrity
A brief coverage period suggests more frequent replacements, 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.
Inferior Raw Materials
In order to compensate for the lower retail cost and minimal returns, some producers resort to reprocessed plastics that are foreign rejects. As a result, low-quality materials are often utilised in making plastic thatch panels, leading to inconsistent durability and poor structural reliability. Ultimately, this can hurt your profitability of your business.
Just Hollow Promises…
Vendors with limited coverage often avoid giving written assurances to avoid legal obligations. At best, they might give informal commitments to customers before the sale, which hold no enforceable value. If any post-sales issues arise, you may have no resolution path.
