residence upon which the decking materials are installed.
Stain Resistance: Fiberon warrants that Veranda ArmorGuard Decking is resistant to permanent staining for a
period of twenty years from date of residential consumer purchase resulting from spills of food and beverage
items that would typically be present on a residential deck. Spills should be removed from the decking material
with soap and water and mild household cleaners immediately and no later than one week of exposure to the
surface. If after this initial cleaning the stains remain, refer to Veranda ArmorGuard’s Care and Maintenance
Instructions found on www.verandadeck.com. Materials not covered in the stain resistant warranty include, but

Decking products to be stain or fade proof. The surface of Veranda ArmorGuard Decking is engineered to offer

resistance.

cleaners immediately and within a week after the occurrence of the spill. If after this initial cleaning the stains
