Warranty Policy

25 year Bamboo Flooring Warranty
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY
Lifetime Structural Warranty.
The manufacturer warrants that it will replace, less the recommended five per cent allowance for installation waste, any planks with defective bonding, at no cost to you, the original end-consumer, as long as you own your home. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidental moisture problems such as dishwasher, toilet, and bathtub overflows. You, the original end-consumer, are protected from separation within the laminated boards.
25 Year Pre-Finish Warranty.
The manufacturer warrants that the aluminum oxide pre-finish on the bamboo flooring will not wear through for 25 years from the date of purchase in residential applications and 10 years in commercial applications, subject to the provisions in this document. Moldings are not covered. Our installation and maintenance instructions must be followed as a condition for this warranty to have effect.
This warranty excludes any indentations, scratches, or damage caused by lack of proper maintenance, misuse, excessive heat or excessive dryness, negligence, spiked heel shoes, pets, insects, water, moisture, erosion, pebbles, sand, other abrasives, insufficient protection on furniture, wet mopping, or failure to follow all the written maintenance instructions.
The vendor cannot be held responsible for damage to newly installed floors by other trades or by the consumer or conditions beyond the manufacturer's control. Protect floors when moving furniture or when equipment or appliances are left standing on newly installed floors.
Natural floors, due to their nature, are subject to seasonal contraction and expansion. It is the customer's responsibility to provide and maintain necessary humidity levels.
A minimum temperature of 70¡ã F (21¡ã C) should be maintained prior to, during, and 48 hours after installation. Sub-floor must be dry and within four per cent of the moisture content of the bamboo flooring. All resilient floors are subject to indentations by furniture and other objects (e.g. women's stiletto heels that have too small a bearing surface). Owners are advised to protect new floors with suitable furniture rests.
In areas where flooring is to be installed, the sub-floors must be smooth, level, clean, free of contaminates, and dry. You shall be responsible for the performance of the sub-floor.
Radiant Heat: Bamboo flooring should not be installed over radiant heat. Damage from such installation is not covered by warranty
These warranties are applicable to the original end-consumer only and are non-transferable.
This Warranty does not cover damage or defects resulting from or in any way attributable to:

  1. Improper storage, handling or installation of the Flooring (including improper installation of joists and sub-flooring or improper surface preparation);
  2. Abuse, lack of maintenance, neglect, abnormal use or misuse, negligence, application of solvents, corrosives or other chemicals to the Flooring, color change, fading or damage due to exposure to the sun, excessive pivot and point-loads, spike-heeled shoes, unpadded furniture feet, water, damage from sand, pebbles or other abrasives, or other unintended uses;
  3. Insect infestation after shipment from point of origin;
  4. Stains and finishes;
  5. Improper alterations of original manufactured product;
  6. Moisture problems (including sub-floor moisture, leaks, rain, wet mopping, etc.) or excessive dryness or heat.
  7. Settlement or movement of the structure to which the Flooring is attached;
  8. Variations in color, grain and markings that exist in the Flooring when new (such variation in bamboo is a natural consequence of varying exposure to sunlight or UV light;
  9. Installation over radiant floor heating; or
  10. Installation of flooring over visible defect.
This document is the complete and exclusive statement of the manufacturer's warranty, and is in lieu of all other expressed and/or statutory warranties. The manufacturer assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages. The sole remedy provided herein is the repair, refinish, or replacement of defective products, or refund for defective products.
Use of any other than recommended maintenance products or improper cleaning methods or equipment may void Manufacturer's/Vendor's warranties.
Other exclusions may apply in particular cases and should be noted if applicable.
Installation
¡¡¡¡Bamboo flooring can be easily installed and maintained similarly as traditional hardwoods:


Keep the package open in the installation area for at least 3-5 days to acclimatize in the area. After temperature and humidity reach the same level with the area to be installed, then begin to install.


Sub-floor must be clean and dry. A PEVA film can be spread on the sub-floor to avoid moisture. If sub-floor is wood, it's better shaped as "#", so that bamboo floor can be nailed directly to the wood.


Work out of multiple (3-5) boxes. Bamboo is a natural product and has slight color variation board to board. So unpack the different boxes and lay out ahead of the installer so that color variation can be mixed in a natural, random pattern and not consolidated in a single area.





Installation can be started square with the room and parallel to its longest dimension by positioning with a chalk line, leaving 1/4" expansion space from base wall. Ensure starter rows are firmly in place by wedging or nailing. Once initial rows are secure, second and further courses shall be blind nailed directly above tongue at a 45-50 degree angle to the face. Fasteners shall be spaced at 10-12 inch intervals with a minimum of 2 fasteners per piece.
Maintenance
Keep the floor clean. Wipe with soft wet rag or mop for usual care.
Keep the floor free of water. When splashed with water, dry it in time.
Fit furniture legs with soft mat to avoid scratching.
Use mats in the entrance of door to keep dirt or sand outside.
Avoid scratching by hard objects or high-heeled shoes
