PF Solid Hardwood Flooring Warranty Information
The Floor Warehouse (TFW) sells exceptionally high quality
products and is proud to warrant to the
original purchaser of our Pre-finished
Solid Hardwood Flooring against any defects caused
during manufacturing. This warranty includes
manufacturing defects caused during,
grading, staining, and finish coating.
*Defects or damage caused by improper
transportation, storage, installation, or any
other cause, is not covered.
TFW also warrants to the original
purchaser that the surface finish UV Cured
Aluminum-Oxide on its Pre-finished
Floors will not wear through from the date of
purchase, when used under normal residential
traffic conditions and use, and as long as
you follow all the preventative and regular
maintenance instructions provided with your
purchase.
*Please note that this
warranty does not cover indentations,
scratches, and naturally occurring wood fiber
discoloration. This warranty does not cover
damages caused by spills, accidents,
negligence, misuse, abuse, water, sand, or
other extreme environmental conditions.
Failure to follow all manufacturer's written
installation instructions, poor workmanship
by installer, improper maintenance,
insufficient protection, misuse or improper
alterations of the original products, or use
of floor care products other than those
specifically authorized for use on TFW Pre-finished Floors, may damage your floor
and may void this warranty. To the extent
that this limited warranty applies, TFW
agrees to repair or replace at its sole
option, products sold to and still owned by
the original purchaser. This is the only
remedy available under this limited warranty.
TFW will not be responsible for any
incidental or consequential damages resulting
from the purchase, use, or installation of
its pre-finished Hardwood Floor products. To
find out more about TFW's Residential
Warranty, or to obtain assistance with a
problem, please contact the TheFloorwarehouse.com Hardwood
Factory Direct Store where the original
purchase was made, or call 1-800-717-0441.
*Quality variation or error that does not
exceed 5% industry standard is not considered
a factory defect. For additional information
contact your TFW Factory Direct Store or
call 1-800-717-0441. TFW Pre-finished
Hardwood Floors are manufactured with the
highest quality standards and in accordance
with strict industry standards. These
standards permit a defect tolerance not to
exceed 5%. The defects may be of a
manufacturing or a natural type. Prior to
installation, the owner/installer must
determine that the job site and all
subsurfaces meet all requirements specified
in the installation instructions. In
addition, the owner/installer has the responsibility to make the final inspection
as to grade, manufacture, and finish of any
TFW Pre-finished Hardwood Floor. Once a
board has been nailed, it is deemed accepted
by the owner/installer, and he/she expressly
waives any claims pertaining to the grade,
manufacture or finish of the products.
Knowing that hardwood floors have natural
variations, and that industry standards allow
for 5% defect, the installer must be
responsible for relocating in hidden places,
cutting out or not installing pieces with
unacceptable defects whatever the cause. The
use of stain, touch-up pen or filler stick
for correction during installation should be
accepted as normal procedure. When TFW
Pre-finished Hardwood Floor is ordered, not
less than 5% must be added to the actual
square footage needed as allowance for
cutting waste. Should an individual piece be
in question as to grade, manufacture or
finish, and if the installer is not able to
relocate it unseen or cut off its glaring
defect, the installer should not use that
piece. If he/she does, TFW liability is
limited to replacement of defective material
only in excess of 5% (excluding the cutting
allowance). TFW denies any responsibility
for judgment errors and/or for poor
installation quality of its product. TFW
will not pay any installation or labor
costs.
