How long does synthetic thatch last?
The service life of synthetic thatch is generally about 8-20 years. The specific situation is affected by a number of factors:
Material quality:
Synthetic thatch with high quality materials, special process treatment and anti-ultraviolet, anti-oxidation and other ingredients has a long service life. For example, JHY-THATCH synthetic thatch products, whose quality is guaranteed, can be used for 15-20 years under normal conditions.
Poor quality or the use of ordinary materials, without the addition of special protective components of synthetic thatch, may appear in a few years will fade, deformation, embrittlement and other problems, short service life, generally 5-8 years or so need to be replaced.
Environmental factors:
Climatic conditions: If synthetic thatch is in a harsh climatic environment for a long time, such as strong sunlight, heavy rain, strong wind, cold, etc., it will accelerate its aging and shorten its service life. In high altitude and strong ultraviolet areas, the color of synthetic thatch is easy to fade, and the performance will be affected.
Installation environment: Installed in a well-ventilated, dry place, synthetic thatch has a relatively long service life; If installed in a humid, dark environment, it is easy to breed mold, etc., which will cause damage to the thatch and reduce its service life.
Usage and maintenance:
If synthetic thatch is often trampled, rubbed, or pressed by heavy objects, it will affect its structure and performance, resulting in shortened service life.
Regular cleaning, inspection and maintenance of synthetic thatch can detect and deal with problems in time to extend its service life. For example, regularly remove dust and debris on the thatch, check whether there are loose and damaged parts and repair them in time.
