LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS AND CONDITIONS
- damage caused by burns, flooding, fires and other accidents.
- damage caused by abuse (i.e. dragging objects across the floor without proper protection)
- wear caused by pebbles, sand and other abrasives.
- damage caused by caster wheels or vacuum cleaner beater bars.
- use of rubber backed mats, latex-backed or coco fiber mats or mats that are not labeled as “non-staining.”
- failure to support furniture with floor protectors that are at least one inch in diameter, made of non-staining felt or non-pigmented hard plastic, rest flat on the floor and are replaced regularly.
- Mannington does not approve the use of steam based cleaners for hardwood floors.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover fading or discoloration from heat or sunlight.
• Wood is a natural product, Mannington will not guarantee match of color, grain, or gloss of any plank replaced for any reason.
• For purposes of the Limited ULTRAWEAR® Finish Warranty for Residential Use, “wear through” means complete loss of the Mannington wear layer.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover variations of color, shade or texture of the floor you purchase from those shown on samples or photographs.
• Use of Mannington Hardwoods flooring in environments that are excessively dry, excessively humid, or prone to dramatic variations in humidity may result in small cracks in the planks which may affect your floor’s finish. This condition, known as “checking,” is not covered by the Limited Warranties.
• The Limited Lifetime Subfloor Bond Warranty does not apply unless the subfloor is visually dry at the time of installation and does not have a history of moisture problems.
MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Wood flooring performs best in climate-controlled interior environments. A permanent HVAC unit must be operational in order to provide consistent room temperature between 60° and 80°F (16° to 27°C) and a humidity level of 35% to 50%. Temperature and humidity must be controlled for the life of the flooring.
• Sweep or vacuum regularly, since built-up grit can damage the finish and surface of hardwood. The vacuum head must be a brush or felt type.
Be certain the wheels of the vacuum are clean and do not damage the finish. Do not use a vacuum with a beater bar head.
• Remove spills promptly using a soft cloth and cleaning products recommended by Mannington.
• Never mop or flood your floor with water or other products. This can severely damage the flooring.
• The use of Mannington maintenance and floor-care products is highly recommended.
• Do not use oil soaps, liquid or paste wax products or other household cleaners that contain citrus oil, tung oil or ammonia.
• Keep pet’s nails trimmed and paws clean and free of dirt, gravel, grease, oil and stains.
• Use a dolly and protective sheets of plywood when moving heavy objects.
• Make certain furniture casters and floor protectors are clean and operate properly (a minimum of 1” continuous width is recommended).
• Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on the floor.
• Exposure to the sun and UV rays accelerates the oxidation and aging of hardwood and fabrics. This causes the stain and/or hardwood to fade and/or change color. We recommended you rearrange rugs or furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly.
• Your floor will wear more evenly if you use area rugs in heavily traveled areas and pivot-points (i.e. stair landings, room entries, etc.).
• Use dirt-trapping walk-off mats at all exterior doors to keep sand, dirt, grit, grease and oil outside.
