Avoiding Scratches and Dents

With today’s active lifestyles it is important to note that hardwood flooring can, and will, scratch and dent. See Tips & Warnings for protecting your hardwood

floor. In order to prevent excessive abuse the use of strategically placed mats and area rugs as well as floor protectors on chair and table legs are a must.

Transition Mats

Transition Mats should be used at all exterior entrances to minimize tracked-in soil and reduce moisture during inclement weather. Ideally, the purchase

of two sets of transition mats for each exterior entrance will allow a fresh one to replace the soiled one during routine weekly cleaning. This will prevent

the transition mat from becoming a soil source.

Protection from Sunlight

Hardwood contains certain types of acids in its cellular structure. With exposure to sunlight, these acids begin to amber. The color change is referred to as

patina. The wood will reach its own natural warm patina level and stop ambering. The amount of patina is directly related to the species, amount of acids

and the level of sunlight. This effect is often noticed after a rug is removed and the floor underneath is noticeably different in color. If you remove the rug and

expose the entire floor to the same amount of light, it will even out over time and become uniform in color.

Warranty

Manufacturer warrants that the factory applied finish will not wear through or will not lack finish adhesion as a result of normal use. Additional structural

warranty and moisture warranty may be applicable to this engineered hardwood. See product sample or your retailer for specific details and duration of warranty.
