Commercial Mineral Fiber Acoustical Ceiling products with “standard” sag resistance (listed above) are warranted to be free
from defects in materials or factory workmanship, or sagging and warping as a result thereof, for one (1) year from the date of installation
(except for obvious defects in materials or factory workmanship, of which Armstrong World Industries must be notified within 30 days of
the date of installation).
This limited warranty is subject to further conditions listed below.
All Armstrong World Industries limited warranties are subject to use under normal conditions. Abnormal Conditions include exposure to
chemical fumes, vibrations, moisture from conditions such as building leaks or condensation, excessive humidity, or excessive dirt or dust
buildup.
What will Armstrong World Industries do?
Subject to confirmation by Armstrong World Industries of such product failure, Armstrong will deliver, at Armstrong’s expense, F.O.B.,
to the place of installation, new product, of the same or similar type and grade, in an amount equal to that which is determined to be
defective.
What does this warranty not cover?
Damage which may occur from fire, water, freezing temperature, accident or any form of abuse, or exposure to Abnormal Conditions is not
covered by this warranty. If subject to Abnormal Conditions, the product should be removed immediately and replaced once the conditions
of installation are normal. (These systems cannot be used in exterior applications, where standing water is present, or where moisture will
come in direct contact with the ceiling.) The growth of mold is not covered by this warranty nor is it the responsibility of Armstrong World
Industries. All products should be maintained to avoid excessive dirt or dust buildup or the presence of excessive moisture that would
provide a medium for microbial growth on ceiling panels.
THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES AND THERE ARE NO
OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE
WHATSOEVER. LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THAT SET FORTH BELOW AND ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES SHALL IN NO EVENT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL COST OR FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Warranty Conditions
All ceiling products must be installed and maintained in accordance with Armstrong
®
written installation instructions for that product
in effect at the time of installation and best industry practice. Prior to installation, the ceiling product must be kept clean and dry in an
environment that is between 32° F (0° C) and 86° F (30° C) and not subject to Abnormal Conditions.
Installation of the products shall be carried out where the temperature is between 32° F (0° C) and 86° F (30° C). It is necessary for the area
to be enclosed and for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to be functioning and in continuous operation. All wet work
(plastering, concrete, etc.) must be complete and dry. The temperature conditions must be met throughout the life of the warranty.
The warranty is void if the tegular or square lay-in ceiling product is installed by stapling or if any adhesive is used in the installation
process. This warranty does not extend to any component of the suspension system such as, but not limited to, the metal grid or any
other accessory used in the installation of the ceiling product. The ceiling product must not be used to support any other material except
fiberglass thermal/sound control insulation installed in the thickness, density, and manner according to Armstrong
®
specifications.
