Warranty Conditions
& Owner Obligations
4.
Ensure Laminate flooring is installed in an environment where the room temperature is between 65°F - 85°F (18°C -
29°C) for 48 hours before, during and after installation. Maintain a relative indoor air humidity between 40 % and 65%
year round in order to limit natural expansion and contraction.
5.
Inspect flooring material prior to installation for any imperfections or manufacturing related defects. IVC US floorings
receive extensive testing and visual examination in an attempt to assure your shipped floor is always first quality. It is
the responsibility of the installer/end user to confirm the received material is free of any obvious visible conditions that
may be detrimental to the appearance and/or performance of the product.
• Minor color, shade and/or texture variations are normal. Any variances between actual material, product
samples and/or brochures should be addressed with your retailer prior to installation. If the retailer
determines the condition “unacceptable,” the manufacturer should be informed immediately.
6.
Support furniture with wide, weight-bearing, smooth non-staining floor protectors or non-staining felt pads. The
protectors/pads should be at least one inch in diameter, and rest flat on the floor. The heavier the item, the wider the
floor protector should be. Non-staining felt pads should be inspected periodically and maintained with respect to the
amount of foot traffic to remove imbedded material to avoid abrasion. Make sure any metal protectors are rust-proof.
Replace narrow dome furniture rests with the appropriate width, weight-bearing flooring protectors.
• Chair mats designed for hard surface floors are recommended under all chairs and stools with
wheels/casters.
7.
Rooms with immediate access to the street need a transition between the street and the room where the laminate is
installed. We also recommend using a transition piece in each doorway.
8.
Understand that laminate flooring is a floating system and should NOT be nailed or glued down. Doing so will void the
warranty.
9.
Do NOT install laminate flooring in rooms where a drain is present.
10.
Perform proper cleaning and maintenance regularly and as needed. See IVC US Laminate Care & Maintenance
Guide: Commercial for details.
