stains from asphalt tracking, rubber-backed mats, and common household items; will not permanently scuff from shoe soles

buckle, and not to release over joints in underlayment panels for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.
This warranty covers material for ten years and reasonable labor costs as published in RSMeans® for three years if installation was
paid for when the original floor was installed. After three years through five years 50% of reasonable labor costs will be paid if

This warranty applies to quality one, current running line patterns purchased after September 1, 2016 and installed in normal
residential applications.
