(1) 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. Mechanical, chemical, or
other modification of the finish, such as sanding or abrading, voids this warranty. Some products may be sold
with promotional warranties of a different length than the warranties indicated above. The length of the
promotional warranties takes precedence over the warranties in this “Hardwood Floors Warranty Guide”.
Lifetime Finish Warranty means fifty years in these cases.
(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 commercial use
when maintained in accordance with our recommended maintenance guidelines. Mechanical, chemical, or
other modification of the finish, such as sanding or abrading, voids this warranty.
(3) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that for the period indicated, the acrylic-infused wear layer will not
wear through under normal household or commercial use when maintained in accordance with our
recommended maintenance guidelines.
(4) We warrant to you (the original purchaser) that the covered products may be professionally sanded and
refinished at least 3 times or 1 time as specified by product if proper sanding and refinishing procedures are
followed as specified by the National Wood Flooring Association (www.nwfa.org). Sanding voids (1) and (2).
(5) 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.
(6) 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 for 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
moisture problems are not covered by this warranty. This is a one-time repair and replacement warranty only.
