Warranty Information

Shaw Hardwood Limited Residential Flooring Warranties- CQ-HS-WA002 Rev. 2/22/2016

Natural Sunlight: The sun and its UV rays cause the aging of wood and therefore can cause the stain and/or wood to

fade and/or change color. This includes any showroom sample/models; therefore, fading or discoloration due to exposure

to sunlight and its UV rays are not covered by these warranties. Use draperies or shades to help block out most of the

sun’s harmful rays. Samples or models in the showroom may also fade, making an exact match to new flooring

impossible. Custom finishing and staining of interior millwork and/or cabinets should be done from the actual floor to be

installed, not a showroom sample, if a color and/or gloss match is desired.

Special Series, Cabin Grade, and Non Standard items carry a One Year Limited Warranty for Residential Finish

Wear only and Engineered products carry a One Year Limited Structural Warranty when installed in a residential

installation only. NOTE: All warranty exclusions, disclaimers, and limitations, including the available remedies, stated

throughout this booklet apply to Special Series, Cabin Grade, or Nonstandard items.
