Footnotes
(1) We warrant that the covered products, in their original manufactured
condition, will be free from defects in grading, lamination and assembly
for as long as you (the original purchaser) own the floor.
(2) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that for the period indicated,
the finish on the covered product will not wear-through, and that
the finish will not separate from the wood flooring under normal
household use when maintained in accordance with our recommended
maintenance guidelines.
(3) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that for the period indicated,
the finish on the covered product will not wear-through, and that the
finish will not separate from the wood flooring under normal commercial
use when maintained in accordance with our recommended
maintenance guidelines.
(4) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that for the period indicated,
the acrylic impregnated wear layer will not wear-through under normal
household or commercial use when maintained in accordance with our
recommended maintenance guidelines.
(5) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that the covered products
may be professionally sanded and refinished 3 times if proper sanding
and refinishing procedures are followed as specified by the National
Wood Flooring Association
(www.nwfa.org).
(6) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that for as long as you
own your floor, each of our recommended adhesives will maintain its
bond when properly installed with our covered flooring products and
when maintained in accordance with our recommended maintenance
guidelines.
(7) We warrant that each of the covered engineered hardwood flooring
products, when properly installed with our recommended adhesives
according to our installation instructions (including proper subfloor
moisture testing), will not release from the subfloor as long as you (the
original purchaser) own your floor. This means that prior to installation
your subfloor must be inspected to assure your subfloor does not
exceed maximum allowable moisture levels. To ensure your warranty
remains effective, keep your proof of pre-installation moisture test
results. If subfloor exceeds maximum allowable moisture levels, the
subfloor must be allowed to dry or Armstrong’s S-135 VapArrest
™
Moisture Remediation System should be used. Subfloors with known
problems are not covered by this warranty. This is a one-time repair
and replacement warranty only.
(7A ) Residential Warranty
We warrant that, when the Armstrong S-135 VapArrest Moisture
Remediation is used in conjunction with our recommended urethane
adhesives for Bruce
®
engineered hardwood flooring, the terms of
the applicable subfloor moisture warranty for such flooring will apply
without the requirement of pre-installation moisture test, provided that
the subfloor is visually dry before installation and all other installation
instructions are followed.
(7B) Commercial Warranty
For commercial applications, when Armstrong S-135 VapArrest
Moisture Remediation System is used in conjunction with our
recommended urethane adhesives for Bruce engineered hardwood
flooring, the terms of the applicable subfloor moisture warranty for
such flooring will apply for a 3 year period from the time of installation,
provided that a proper moisture test is conducted. This means that
prior to installation your subfloor must be inspected to assure your
subfloor does not exceed the maximum allowable moisture level for
usage of Armstrong S-135 VapArrest Moisture Remediation System.
Subfloor moisture levels must be less than 12 lbs./24 hours/1000
sq. ft. per a calcium chloride test. To ensure your warranty remains
effective, keep your proof of pre-installation moisture levels, the
subfloor must be allowed to dry. Subfloors with known moisture
problems are not covered by this warranty. This is a one-time repair
and replacement warranty only.
