Installer/Owner Responsibility

Carefully inspect all materials before installation. Materials installed with visible defects are not covered

under the warranty. Do not install – if you are not satisfied with the flooring; contact store immediately.

Final quality checks and approval of the product is the sole responsibility of the owner and installer.

Make sure you are installing the correct color; no claims will be accepted for color once the material

is installed. Please read the provided warranty for your product before installation.

The installer/owner must determine that the job-site environment and sub-floor surfaces meet applicable

construction and material industry standards. The Manufacturer declines any responsibility for job failure

resulting from deficiencies caused by sub-floor or job-site environment or installation related items.

All subfloors must be clean, flat, dry and structurally sound.

General Information

• Prior to installation material should be stored in a climate controlled environment between 55-85 F

(13-29C) degrees prior to installation. If needed allow the material to acclimate prior to installation

for a period of 48 hours prior to installation. Material is approved for interior use only and must only

be installed in an area that is climate controlled once installed - Do NOT install this material in an

environment where the temperature cannot be maintained between 65-85 degrees (18.3-29C) post

installation.

• To help prevent discoloration or fading from UV light/direct sunlight use of blinds and/or drapes is

recommended. Additionally, high direct temperature from sunlight may result in thermal expansion

causing the material to buckle or expand – this is NOT a defect of the material.

• Do not install cabinets directly on the floor as this is a floating installation method – proper expansion

space is required at all vertical surfaces.

• Install material from several cartons at a time to blend the material.
