WARRANTY INFO
- CONDITIONS
Grandeur's premium solid and engineered products are manufactured in accordance with National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) industry standards, which permits a defect tolerance of 5-7% margin of error. As wood is a natural product, knots, mineral streaks, color, and length variation should be expected. Grandeur Engineered Hardwood Flooring products can be installed above, on, or below grade.
Grandeur engineered hardwood products carry a limited structural integrity warranty – free from lamination, assembly, milling and dimensional defects; from the original date of purchase, when installed and maintained in accordance with Grandeur Flooring recommended installation, maintenance, guidelines, as well as usage under normal household/office conditions in a dry enclosed residential/commercial building.
Furthermore, Grandeur engineered hardwood products carry a 35-year finish warranty – the factory applied finish will not wear through, peel, or separate from the floors for a full 35 years from the date of purchase when used under normal residential conditions – installed and maintained in accordance with Grandeur flooring guidelines. See exclusions below.
Subjective and personal preferences are not considered defective. It is the responsibility of both the purchaser and the installer to ensure products meet expectations prior to and during installation, as they are considered accepted once installed.
Grandeur strongly recommends that hardwood floors be installed by professional and experienced installers, errors or damage that often arise because of negligence or poor quality of installation are not covered by this warranty.
- GENERAL INFO
It is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure that the environment is kept clean – free from debris and other corrosive material or substances for but not limited to cleaning.
This warranty is intended to cover only the value of the flooring when purchased, and does not cover any further expenses, damages, losses, or liabilities incurred because of the claim.
This warranty is offered to the original purchaser of Grandeur products and is non-transferable. This warranty is valid provided that the floor is correctly installed – following NWFA standards and proper maintenance is performed on a regular basis.
Grandeur Flooring does not offer coverage for damage due to misuse and abuse – see exclusions for more details. Misuse such as dragging heavy furniture, excess exposure to snow removal salt, and malpractice with pets will damage wood flooring and voids this warranty.
Normal wear and tear of flooring products is expected in casual use and is not covered by this warranty as this warranty is solely intended to cover defects in manufacturing.
This warranty covers the residential use of flooring products indoors only and does not extend to cover commercial applications.
The ideal temperature for Grandeur’s flooring products (while keeping in mind varying environmental conditions) range from 18 C (65 F) to 24 C (75 F). The relative humidity level (RH) for engineered flooring should be anywhere from 35% to 55%; 40 to 50% for solid wood flooring. While moisture damages floors, too much heat or aridity can lead to excessive spacing and gapping between the floors.
Central humidifiers must be used throughout the year as needed to maintain these relative humidity levels. Failure to utilize a humidifier when required will void the warranty. Cracking, checking can occur when there is improper moisture control, which is not covered by this warranty as it is caused by external factors beyond the manufacturers control.
Radiant Heat Policy
Because wood is a natural product, significant natural variation is to be expected. It will react differently to the drying effects of radiant heat depending on the type of radiant heating system being used. As the radiant heating market is still relatively new and growing, different types and models of radiant heat and under floor heating systems are being released every year; as such, compatibility with engineered flooring cannot be accurately substantiated or safely guaranteed. Grandeur Flooring does not offer any warranties for engineered or solid flooring installed with radiant heat. Vinyl products are currently considered safer for and more compatible with radiant heat. Please contact your dealer for more details.
