Who Is Covered
If you live in the United States or Canada and you are the
original consumer purchaser (i.e. the homeowner or building
owner, not the builder, installer or contractor) or any
transferee tracing back to the original consumer purchaser
(the “Purchaser”) of XPS Foam Insulation, you are entitled to
the bene ts of this warranty.
What Is Covered
Owens Corning, subject to the conditions and limitations set
forth herein, warrants that its XPS Foam Insulation shall, from
the date of installation and for the life of the home or building
in which originally installed, when such XPS Foam Insulation
shall have been properly installed and when subject to normal
and proper use:
• be free from defects in material and/or workmanship that
materially affect its performance in the home or building in
which originally installed;
• meets performance requirements of ASTM C578 and
CAN/ULC-S701; and
• retain at least 90% of its advertised R-value*
Owens Corning’s obligations under this warranty will only take
effect if the XPS Foam Insulation is installed (including both the
original installation and reuse installation) in typical building and
construction assemblies in strict accordance with all applicable
Owens Corning speci cations, recommendations and
guidelines which were in effect at the time of such installation.
Owens Corning XPS Foam Insulation shall only be placed into
an assembly where the moisture transport mechanism is well
understood and determined to be acceptable in accordance
with accepted engineering analytical practice.
THIS WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE ONLY TO XPS FOAM
INSULATION PRODUCT PRODUCED AFTER JULY 1, 2010.
Remedy
If, during the warranty period and because of a defect
in material or manufacturing, the XPS Foam Insulation is
determined by sampling and tests (conducted as provided
below) to not meet any of the performance requirements
stated above, as Purchaser’s sole remedy, Owens Corning
will deliver to the Purchaser a quantity of equivalent Owens
Corning product to replace the non-performing XPS Foam
Insulation product or, at Owens Corning’s sole discretion,
refund to the Purchaser the original purchase price of the non-
performing XPS Foam Insulation product.
OWENS CORNING’S TOTAL LIABILITY/COST
HEREUNDER, FOR THE LIFE OF THE WARRANTY, IS
LIMITED TO, AND CAPPED AT, THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE
PRICE OF THE XPS FOAM INSULATION PRODUCT.
