All Millworks luxury vinyl tile is covered by a limited warranty as described in this document.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Prior to installing your Millworks Flooring, you or the installer must determine the job-site environment and whether the floor’s sub-surfaces meet or exceed applicable industry and product standards including the following:
PRODUCTS & WARRANTY COVERAGE
This limited warranty is valid from the date of purchase of the flooring and is not transferrable or any owner other than the original purchaser. Your Millworks Flooring luxury vinyl plank is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects and, under normal use and maintenance, will not wear, fade or stain resulting in loss of original pattern and color, for a specified length of time as defined in the table set forth below. This Limited Warranty only applies provided the flooring covered by this warranty is installed and maintained according to Millworks Flooring Installation & Floor Care Instructions.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Prior to installing your Millworks Flooring, you or the installer must determine the job-site environment and whether the floor’s sub-surfaces meet or exceed applicable industry and product standards including the following:
- You must comply with all applicable environmental and building codes, regulations and laws.
- Your installation area and subfloor must be dry, sound and flat within industry standards. Also, use a moisture barrier according to the installation instructions and acclimate your flooring to the area where it is being installed. Once acclimated and before work begins, measure the moisture content of the flooring and subfloor with a moisture meter and document it. The moisture levels between the flooring and the subfloor must be 4% or less.
- Your installation area must be between 60˚ to 80˚ Fahrenheit with a relative humidity between 30% and 50% for at least five days prior to delivery and throughout the life of your floor to ensure optimum performance.
- It is the duty of the owner and installer to inspect each plank for quality, color, and finish prior to installation. This warranty does not cover materials with visible defects once they are installed. Please immediately contact your retailer if you are not satisfied with the flooring prior to installation. Standard industry practice (reference: NWFA) allows for up to 5% defects that could include milling, handling, finish and/or grade defects. This warranty applies only to flooring material that is in excess of this 5%. Millworks Flooring will replace or refund the purchase price of material deemed to be defective in excess of 5%.
