BEAULIEU LIMITED WARRANTIES
Limited Wear/Durability Warranty
What is covered?
Beaulieu warrants that when properly installed in compliance with CRI standards,
the pile yarn in any area of your carpet will not experience excessive wear during the
duration of the warranty period specied on your authorized Beaulieu carpet dealer’s
sample. Excessive wear is dened as a countable loss of pile ber, 10% or greater
resulting from normal foot traffic, and is determined by pile yarn weight comparison
of the worn area of your carpet to non-trafficked areas, or by testing using mechanical
wear simulators.

Limited Texture Retention Warranty
What is covered?
Beaulieu warrants that your carpet will not exhibit abnormal texture loss resulting
from normal foot traffic during the warranty period specied on your authorized
Beaulieu carpet dealer’s sample . When properly installed using carpet cushion
meeting our requirements, and properly maintained as specied, texture retention
is the ability of carpet tufts to retain a normal amount of their visible size, shape and
orientation. This includes the ability of cut-pile carpet tufts not to burst, bloom, open
or lose twist excessively. Texture change associated with normal pile crush is a
characteristic of all carpet and is not covered under this warranty. Texture retention
is measured using the standardized rating scale CRI TM 101, with a rating scale of
5.0 (new carpet, or no change) to 1.0 (severe change). To perform as warranted,
your carpet must retain a texture retention rating no less than 2.5 under the
warranted conditions. Improper or inadequate care and maintenance will accelerate
changes in carpet appearance that are not warranted.
