Installation Guide

WARRANTY 47
COVERAGE AND CONDITIONS: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated hereinafter, Schluter-Systems* warrants that the
Schluter
®
-Shower System (the “Products”)** will meet all composition and performance criteria for a period of ten (10) years from the date of
purchase only when the Products are used and installed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Schluter
®
-Shower System Installation
Handbook and industry standard guidelines that are not in conflict with the Handbook in effect at the time of installation. Further, efflorescence is
considered to be a natural occurrence with cementitious materials and is therefore not considered to be a defective condition and is not covered
by this warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner/builder/installer to ensure the suitability of all building materials and all associated building
materials for the owner’s intended use. It is recommended that the owner consult with an experienced and professional installer.
RESOLUTION: If the Products fail to meet this warranty, then the owner’s exclusive remedy and the sole obligation of Schluter-Systems, at its
election, shall be to a) reinstall or replace the failed portion of the tile assembly or b) pay an amount not to exceed the original square foot cost
of the installation of the tile assembly verified to be defective. Tile assembly is defined to include all Schluter
®
-KERDI products, non-reusable
tile surfaces, and the appropriate setting and grouting materials. Further, due to conditions beyond the control of Schluter-Systems (e.g., color
and shade availability, discontinuation, normal wear and tear), Schluter-Systems cannot guarantee or warrant an exact match to the specific
tile, stone, or other covering materials used in the installation. In such events, substantially similar materials may be substituted.
