listed above:
• Will not wear through*
• Will not contain manufacturing defects

5-YEAR LIMITED
LIGHT COMMERCIAL WARRANTY
What is covered and for how long?
For light commercial installations (example: common areas in multi-
unit dwellings and low-traffic retail shops) the product is warranted
to be free from manufacturing defects for 5 years from the date
of purchase. If a defect covered by this warranty is reported to
Armstrong in writing within 5 years of purchase, Armstrong will supply
new material of the same or similar grade sufficient to repair or
replace the defective material.
What will Armstrong do if any of the above happens?
If any of the above should occur within the warranty periods specified
above for each flooring product, Armstrong will furnish comparable
Armstrong flooring of similar color, pattern, and quality, for either the
repair of the defective area or the replacement of the floor, at our
option. And, if your floor was professionally installed, Armstrong will
also pay reasonable labor costs for the direct repairs or replacement.
Armstrong will replace or repair a floor discolored from mold, mildew,
or alkali one time. If the replacement or repair fails in the same
manner a second time, the flooring conditions may not be acceptable
for the installation of vinyl tile or plank.
What is not covered by this warranty?
• Damage caused by fire, flooding or intentional abuse.
• Damage caused by vacuum cleaner beater bar, caster wheels, and
cutting from sharp objects.
- When vacuuming, we recommend using the wand
attachment on your vacuum.
- Because rolling casters can damage the floor, we do not
recommend them.
• Loss of gloss/scratching.
- If some dulling occurs over time, depending on the amount
of traffic, care and maintenance the floor receives, restore
the floor’s shine, using Armstrong SatinKeeper
®
Resilient
Low Gloss Floor Finish.
• Minor color, shade or texture variations between samples or
printed color photography and the actual material.
• 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.)
• Construction or installation-related damage.
• 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 products.
• 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.
What is excluded from this warranty?
ARMSTRONG EXCLUDES AND WILL NOT PAY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER THIS WARRANTY. BY THIS
WE MEAN ANY LOSS, EXPENSE, OR DAMAGE OTHER THAN TO
THE FLOORING ITSELF THAT MAY RESULT FROM A DEFECT IN
THE FLOORING. NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES EXTEND BEYOND
THE TERMS OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Please note: Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitations
of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you.
Also note: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
† We recommend using floor protectors. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item,
the wider the floor protectors should be.
* Wear-through is defined as loss of the floor design due to normal household use.
What should you do if you have a problem?
We want you to be happy with your Armstrong floor. If you’re not,
call your retail store. They can answer your questions and, if necessary,
start to process a claim. If you have further questions, please call us at
1 888 276 7876.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR RECEIPT OR OBTAIN IT FROM THE
ORIGINAL PURCHASER. Armstrong needs the receipt in order
to verify date and proof of purchase to resolve any problems that may
occur.
This warranty applies to floors purchased after September 1, 2008.
