Warranty Guide

RESIDENTIAL HARDWOOD WARRANTIES

Limited Warranties for Preﬁnished Solid and Engineered Wood Floors

Manufacturing Defects

Mohawk hereby warrants to the original buyer (“Buyer”) of the StyleSelections preﬁnished solid and

engineered hardwood ﬂoors to be free from manufacturing defects for as long as Buyer owns the home.

Hardwood is a natural product and may have naturally occurring variations in grain and color, mineral

streaks and knots. The owner/installer of a StyleSelections Wood Floor must use reasonable selectivity

and hold out or cut off objectionable naturally occurring blemishes prior to installation.

Finish Warranty

Mohawk hereby warrants to the Buyer that the factory applied ﬁnish of the StyleSelections Wood

Floor will not wear through nor will not lack ﬁnish adhesion as a result of normal use for 25 Years. See

product sample or your retailer for duration of this warranty on speciﬁc products. Diminished gloss is

not considered wear through of the ﬁnish. In the event the ﬁnish wears through or releases from the

StyleSelections Wood Floor, StyleSelections will, at its option, repair or replace the affected planks or

area, prorated over the remaining life of this warranty. This warranty is conditioned upon Lowe’s receipt

of notice in writing from the Buyer and Mohawk’s receipt of notice in writing from Lowe’s of the alleged

defect prior to expiration of the limited warranty period and evidence that the StyleSelections Wood

Floor is not subject to any of the limitations described below.

Additional warranties exclusively for Preﬁnished Engineered Floors:

Structure Warranty

Mohawk hereby warrants to the Buyer of StyleSelections engineered and solid wood ﬂooring products

that, under normal use, the plies will not separate for as long as the Buyer owns the home. Mohawk

will, at its option, repair or replace any defective planks at no cost to the Buyer.

Moisture Warranty

Mohawk hereby warrants to the Buyer of StyleSelections engineered wood ﬂooring products against

moisture damage due to topical spills for as long as the Buyer owns the home. Topical spills of normal

household substances (food and beverage) must be removed promptly. Topical spills allowed to

remain on the ﬂoor for any considerable time will damage the StyleSelections Wood Floor and void

this warranty. Flooding, acts of God, plumbing accidents, leaking appliances (icemakers, dishwashers,

clothes washers, etc.) are not topical spills and are not covered by this warranty.

Limitations on Liability

In the event Mohawk determines that one or more of the above warranties apply to a claim by

Buyer, Buyer’s exclusive remedy and Mohawk Industries’ sole liability on any claim, whether in tort,

contract, or breach of warranty, shall be limited to either (1) the repair or replacement of the defective

StyleSelections Wood Floor for the affected area only, or (2) the refund of the applicable purchase price.
