Warranty

• Floors that are not graded “regular”.
• Floors that are installed in other than owner-occupied or tenant-occupied residences.
(Except products that are noted as warranted light commercial)
• Installation-related errors or damage including improper conditioning of jobsite and flooring
materials.
• Construction damage after installation.
• Floors discolored from moisture or underlayment panels after having been repaired or
replaced by Armstrong one time.
• Floors damaged by excessive moisture from sources such as flooding and water leakage.
• Installation defects and installations not using the recommended Armstrong adhesives.
• Damage caused by abuse such as moving appliances across the floor without adequate
protection. When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on your floor
and “walk” the item across it. This protects your floor from scuffing and tears.

Installation requirements
Proper installation plays a key role in the performance of Armstrong floors. For installation of
vinyl tile, these basic guidelines should be followed:
• Store tiles for 48 hours in room where they will be installed. Keep room at a minimum of
65°F during that time and during installation. After installation, temperature should not fall
below 65°F for the first 48 hours, and not below 55°F after that.
• If room is heated by radiant coils in the subfloor, the TEMPERATURE OF THE FLOOR
should not exceed 85°F.
• The subfloor must be level, clean, and free of wax, grease, oil or dust.
• If necessary, patch or fill any cracks in the subfloor with Armstrong Patch, or Armstrong
Latex Underlayment.
• Use Armstrong Embossing Leveler to smooth any texture or embossing on the old floor.
Install over smooth, well-bonded resilient floors or over dry concrete and wood floors with a
plywood overlay.
• This limited product warranty does not cover the installation of the product, even though
Armstrong will pay reasonable labor costs for covered repair or replacement if your floor was
