Warranty Exclusions
 Improper storage, handling or installation of flooring.
 Any cracks or splits not a direct result of manufacturing. Low relative humidity may
cause your product to check, crack or split. High relative humidity or excessive moisture
may cause a floor to cup. Cupping of the planks causes excessive tangential pressure
on the planks resulting in previously sound character features, such as filler, sound
checks and/or wind shake to develop, including finish failure and chipping to occur. This
is a site related condition and not a manufacturing defect. Damage due to cupped floors
is excluded from warranty coverage.
 Splintered edges, (This is a handcrafted product and some splintering may occur
because of the handmade nature of the product. Splintered edges can be colored with a
stain marker).
 Squeaking, popping, or crackling when walked on.
 Man-made or natural disasters including, but not limited to, leaking or broken plumbing,
fire, flood, earthquake, or standing water during or after construction.
 Any problems to the wood relating to sub floor moisture emissions.
 Any damage to the wood flooring related to excessively humid or excessively dry
environmental conditions.
 Cupping or buckling of the flooring. This is a site related condition.
 Damage to the finish due to excessive moisture from any source.
 Any damage consistent with maintenance procedures including the use of a steam mop.
 Improper preparation of, or deficiencies in, the subfloor/floor joist assembly including,
but not limited to, subfloor material, fasteners, patching or leveling compounds. These
situations are considered to be part of the installation inspection process prior to
installing the flooring. Do not install flooring if these situations exist.
 Insect infestation after shipment from the factory.
