Owner/Installer Responsibility

The owner is advised to be at home during the installation for consultation/direction. The owner and installer should discuss installation and

layout to maximize satisfaction. If this is not possible, consultation should be done prior to installation.

The owner/installer assumes all responsibility for product quality of completed installation.

PERFORM PRE-INSTALL INSPECTION. FOR CLAIMS PURPOSES, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO OPEN UP TO 4 BOXES FOR PRODUCT INSPECTION. DO NOT OPEN

ALL THE BOXES. OPENING ALL THE BOXES CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRODUCT. INSPECT ALL THE PLANKS IN THESE 4 BOXES CAREFULLY.

EXAMINE FLOORING FOR COLOR, FINISH AND QUALITY. IF YOU DISCOVER THAT PRODUCTS ARE DEFECTIVE, OR IF MATERIAL IS QUESTIONABLE, YOU

SHOULD CONTACT THE RETAILER. IF YOU ARE SATISFIED, PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION.

Flooring to be installed in one large area should be purchased at the same time. Product purchased at a later time than the first purchase

may vary beyond your expectations.

This product is manufactured according to strict quality standards. In the event that defects are discovered in the field, the industry

standards permit a defect tolerance not to exceed 5%. Order an additional 5% (10% extra for diagonal installations) for cutting wastage and

plank replacement when the floor is in service.

During installation, inspect the planks continuously. Defects that can be seen from a standing position should be cut off or held out.

Installing defective planks implies acceptance.

To assure the warranty is not inadvertently voided, before proceeding with any activity that is not covered in this manual, please contact our

Technical Support Department.

In-service Conditions

Conditions in which the floor was installed should be maintained continuously thereafter. Ideal temperature range is 60°F-75°F Avoid

drastic temperature changes as they may cause the vinyl planks to expand and contract excessively resulting in gaps. Best practice is to

keep in-service temperatures to as close possible to the temperature at time of installation.

Job Site Condition

Prior to installation, the installer must ensure that at the time of installation, the job site conditions including subfloor/substrate, ambient

temperature and relative humidity, and all impacting variables will not negatively affect floor. Home Legend will decline responsibility for

damages associated with improper installation or poor site conditions.

Storage and Conditions

Do not store flooring in uncontrolled environmental conditions. For example, garages and exterior patios are not acceptable areas to store

flooring. Handle and unload flooring with care and store within the environmentally controlled site in which it is expected to perform.

Flooring stored on concrete slab should be elevated at least four inches to allow air circulation under cartons.
