This product is manufactured according to strict quality standards.
In the event that defects are discovered in the field, the industry
standards permit a defect tolerance not to exceed 5%. Order an
additional 5% extra for cutting wastage and grading allowances
(10% for diagonal installations). During installation, inspect the
planks continuously. Defects that can be seen from a standing
position should be cut off or held out. Installing defective planks
implies acceptance.
Squeaking and clicking noises are the result of interactions among
flooring, joists and subfloors when they move. Limiting the
movements of the flooring system usually eliminates most of these
noises. Sometimes, it is impossible to eliminate them completely
and minor squeaking or clicking noises are to be accepted as
normal flooring phenomenon.
Minor scratches can generally be repaired with the use of putty,
stain or filler. It is an industry standard practice of flooring
installation and it should be accepted as normal by the home
owner.
