The Qualities of an Ideal Synthetic Thatch Roof

Why Synthetic Thatch Roofs with Limited Coverage Periods Can Spell Trouble for Your Establishment

Synthetic thatch roofs have become widely popular, particularly at holiday attractions and recreational hotspots. 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 completing high-end properties, synthetic thatch roofs are leaving an enduring impression.

While selecting faux thatch may be a progressive choice for resort operators, it is vital to prioritise purchasing authentic, high-quality products with extensive warranties. The tactic of tempting customers using discounts is a common tradition in the business world, and the artificial thatch industry is no different.

It’s best to steer clear of market players providing synthetic thatch roofs at low costs but with limited guarantees. Let’s explore how your property, and potentially your customer trust, can face trouble when you go for an artificial thatch roof with a smaller assurance period:

Be Cautious of Leakage Issues

A limited warranty often means that the quality of the thatching is below par, requiring frequent replacement. 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 signals regular refurbishments, leading to an increase in the number of screw holes in your base structure. Over time, this can compromise the integrity, potentially demanding expensive fixes or extensive refurbishment. Ignoring wear and tear poses danger, as guests may be reluctant to rest or relax under a thatch roof supported by a fragile frame, fearing instability or collapse.

Inferior Raw Materials

In order to offset the reduced selling price and narrow profit margins, manufacturers prefer recycled materials 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 hurt your profitability of your resort.

Just Hollow Promises…

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 cannot be upheld in disputes. If any post-sales issues arise, you may be left helpless.
