Warranty Guide

2.
Problems due to moisture, mildew, alkaline substances, hydrostatic pressure, expansion and contraction between
planks/tiles, or humidity levels above or below those recommended.
3.
It is normal and expected for there to be color variations due to use of natural components, exposure to UV light
and/or sunlight, and age of material. Therefore, color inconsistency between samples, replacement product or
illustrations and actual product is not a manufacturing flaw.
4.
Manufacturer makes no guarantee that Natural Cork products will match or coordinate with customer furnishings,
trim, cabinetry, railings, etc.
5.
Inherent variations that are consistent with those of a Natural Cork product to include pattern, color, and granule
size do not indicate defective material.
6.
Noncompliance with installation instructions and maintenance guidelines as recommended by Natural Cork.
Manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for the suitability of flooring material and accompanying products for
each individual installation as manufacturer has no control over the installer's proper application. Should an
individual piece be doubtful as to appearance or dimension the installer should not use this piece. Failure to
apply protective coating in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines may result in irreparable damage to the
cork. Such damage is not covered.
7.
Cracking, warping, soiling, fading, improper maintenance or abuse caused by items such as roller skates, golf
shoes or pets.
8.
Floor covering installed in inappropriate locations is excluded from this warranty.
9.
Exposure to UV light and sunlight will cause discoloration to natural wood products. This is normal and is not a
manufacturing flaw. Area rugs and large furniture will block light exposure and cause uneven coloration. To
minimize this, furnishings and floor coverings should be moved periodically.
