PRODUCT WARRANTY INFORMATION
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
• Failure to maintain the environment at a humidity range of 30% to 50% year round and a room temperature of 60º to 80ºF.
• Checks, splits, delamination caused by improper environmental conditions.
• Color variations in flooring are a natural occurrence due to species, age, character of flooring and exposure to UV light or sunlight. For these reasons, new and/or replacement flooring may not match display samples and/or existing flooring.
• Due to color variations of product and/or samples, Urbanfloor™ is not responsible for the consumer matching flooring to other wood products, such as cabinets, stair railings, trim and any existing moldings.
• Normal exposure to sunlight will bring about changes in the shading of any hardwood floor as the floor ages. Area rugs should be moved occasionally as they block sunlight and may give the appearance of discoloring under the rug. This is not a product defect.
• Improper installation/maintenance and failure to adhere to Urbanfloor installation/maintenance instructions.
• It is the responsibility of the installer and/or the homeowner to inspect boards prior to installation. Urbanfloor™ accepts no responsibility for costs of product or labor when boards with visible defects have been installed.
• Indentations or scratches caused by furniture, appliances, pet claws, high heel shoes, spiked or damaged heels, cleats, sports shoes, pivot points (i.e. seating areas), wheel chairs, walkers, sand, pebbles or other abrasive materials.
• Installation over radiant floor heating with a surface temperature in excess of 85° F.
• Damage due to water and/or moisture including but not limited to damage resulting from broken or leaking pipes, wet mopping, weather conditions or natural disasters is excluded from Urbanfloor™warranties.
• Insect infestation after product leaves our facility.
• Abuse, neglect, abnormal use or misuse, application of solvents, corrosives, or other chemicals, etc. improper cleaning or maintenance products.
• Squeaking, popping and other noises are not covered by our warranty. Occasional noise is normal and can be expected on wood flooring, especially when nailed or stapled down. This is not considered a manufacturing defect.
• Recoating or alterations to the original factory finish voids the finish warranty.
• During the winter months of low humidity, minor surface cracks (checks) may appear in wood flooring, then often close up again in the summer months when the humidity is higher. This is a normal characteristic of natural wood and not a basis of a complaint against the manufacturer, especially if there is no structural failure.
Dimensional Changes: Throughout its life, wood will naturally expand and contract in response to the seasons and environment conditions in the home. Seasonal gapping can be expected, and is not a defect.
• Color variations, mineral streaks, and small knots are considered part of the natural character and beauty of wood flooring and are not considered manufacturing defects.
WIREBRUSHED FINISHES
Due to the wire brushing process, some planks may contain minor snags and a rough grain in the finish. These character features do not affect the quality or structural strength of the flooring and are not considered a manufacturing defect.
COLOR DIFFERENCES / SHOWROOM SAMPLES:
Color change due to the effect of excessive exposure to sunlight, UV Rays, and lighting can cause considerable differences between your dealer’s display samples and new or existing flooring. Please approve the color of the actual flooring BEFORE installation, as Urban’s warranty does not cover color differences between showroom samples and installed flooring.
MOLDING STRUCTURAL WARRANTY
Urbanfloor™warrants to the original purchaser that the moldings will be free of defects in material and workmanship when installed and maintained according to Urbanfloor specifications. If a molding fails, Urbanfloor will replace or repair, at its option for as long as the original purchase still owns the property where the molding was installed. Inspect moldings before installation. Once material is installed it is considered accepted.
Although moldings are designed to be the closest representation of the actual floor, variation in color, texture, shading, grain, knots, gloss level, and distressing will be evident and in some species can be extensive. This is normal and is not considered a defect.
CAUTION: Carefully inspect moldings and approve before installation. If moldings are not acceptable DO NOT INSTALL. Once material is installed it is considered ACCEPTED.
NOTE:Moldings are not covered by a finish warranty.
