LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
AND CONDITIONS
• Mannington’s Limited Warranties apply only to floors
purchased after January 1, 2019. Proof of purchase is
necessary to verify all warranty claims.
• The Limited Warranties do not apply to “seconds” or “mill
trial” grade products.
• The Limited Warranties apply only to the original purchaser
and the original installation site, and are not transferable.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover conditions or defects
caused by improper installation, the use of improper adhesives,
inadequate sub-flooring or improper sub-floor preparation.
• The Limited Warranties apply only to products installed indoors.
The Limited Warranty that Mannington’s Laminate Flooring
panels will resist topical moisture damage is subject to
the following:
– The Limited Warranty covers only topical moisture resulting
from normal household use, such as wet shoes, liquid spills,
or dripping while exiting the bath tub or shower, provided
such topical moisture is promptly removed.
– The Limited Warranty excludes damaged caused by flooding
or continuous running water or other liquids.
– The Limited Warranty does not apply to panels installed
in wet areas unless they are installed in accordance with
Mannington’s recommended installation guidelines for wet
areas as set forth in the Mannington Professional Installation
Guide, a copy of which may be obtained by calling
1-800-FLOOR-US (1-800-356-6787).
• The Limited Warranties do not cover construction-related
damage.
• The Limited Warranty does not cover damage due to fluids of
any source or type that are not removed within a reasonable
period of time.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover panels that have been
installed with obvious visual defects.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover conditions caused by
improper use or maintenance, such as:
– loss of gloss or build-up of dulling film due to lack of
maintenance or improper maintenance.
– damage resulting from failure to follow floor-care instructions.
– scuffs, scratches, cuts, chipping, indenting or similar damage
caused by gliders, castor wheels, vacuum cleaner beater bars,
toys, or other objects.
– damage caused by chemicals, burns, fires and other accidents.
– damage caused by abuse (i.e. dragging heavy or sharp
objects across the floor without proper protection).
– failure to support furniture with floor protectors made of
non-staining felt or non-pigmented hard plastic. Protectors
must be at least one inch in diameter and rest flat on the floor.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover variations of color, shade
or texture of the panels you purchase from those shown on
samples or photographs.
• The Limited Warranties for light commercial use do not cover
panels that have been stored or installed in areas that are
persistently wet (e.g. saunas or pool areas).
• Laminate flooring is intended to be free-floated, and therefore
should not be bound at anytime. If a heavy object is placed
on the flooring, and a buckle area is formed, then Mannington
recommends the object is moved to a different location.
MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
A Mannington Laminate Floor is the closest thing there is to a
“maintenance-free” floor. The melamine-impregnated surface
with aluminum oxide makes it resistant to dirt and dust.
IMPORTANT – The laminate surface may have residual wax from
the manufacturing process or from the package. The first and
only cleaning should be done with a cloth or mop (micro-fiber
or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened with original Windex
®
(blue), rubbing alcohol, or Simple Green
®
. This will remove the
wax. Once the wax is removed, the recommended maintenance
should be ordinary vacuuming or sweeping, and cleaning with
Mannington Ultra Clean
®
.
Ordinarily vacuuming or sweeping is usually sufficient to keep
the floor clean. If needed, occasionally clean with a cloth or mop
(micro-fiber or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened with
Mannington’s Ultra Clean System.
Mannington does not approve the use of steam-based cleaners
for Laminate Floors.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
– Never flood the floor with water.
– Do not use soap-based detergents, as these may leave a
dull finish on your floor.
– Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder,
as these may scratch your floor.
– Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington
Laminate Floor.
– Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent
dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and
driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor.
– For furnishings, use wide-bearing, non-staining floor
protectors, such as clear, hard plastic or non-staining felt
protectors for heavy furnishings.
– Promptly remove all liquid spills.
The overall stain resistance of our Mannington Laminate Floors
is excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a
clean, white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a little
extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.
