Warranty
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 ooring impossible. Custom
nishing and staining of interior millwork and/or cabinets should be done from the actual oor 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.
