The
manufacturer offers a warranty for structural integrity of 25 years
plus a 10 year finish and wear warranty. The
warranty guarantees the surface will not peel within the indicated
time period as long as the bamboo floor is maintained and cared
for in a proper manner and laid in accordance with the installation
instructions on this website. This warranty covers the above from
the date of purchase.
The warranty only applies to bamboo being used in dry residential
environments which are free from moisture. The warranty does not
guarantee flooring installed above under-floor heating systems unless
otherwise stated on the invoice. Strict
procedures of quality control at the factory ensures that the bamboo
is free of defects. However, as bamboo is a natural product, we
cannot guarantee variations in colour. The flooring must still be
inspected prior to installation, fully acclimatised, and handled
and maintained as per our instructions, which must be requested
by the buyer. Failure to observe the above invalidates the warranty.
Damage caused by improper installation, handling or usage resulting
in scratches, dents, reduction in finish sheen, or damage to surrounding
areas is not covered by this warranty. Any damaged boards must be
returned to Bamboo Flooring Direct before installation commences-
under no circumstances will we replace boards after they have been
installed. Inspection of the boards must be done at the acclimatisation
stage. The warranty
does not cover damage or defect caused during transportation or
by improper storage or handling after purchase. Damage
caused to the floor as a result of installation, structural changes
in, or non-levelling of, the sub-floor, exposure to sunlight and
weather, extremes of temperature and humidity, dampness or moisture,
natural ageing effects of the floor (i.e: fading or darkening, colour
variation etc), seperation of boards due to expansion and contraction
caused by the bamboo boards not being acclimatised in the proper
manner, seasonal and temperature changes, or any form of abuse,
neglect, damage by caustic cleaning substances or chemical spillage
is not covered by the warranty. Felt protection pads to be fitted
to the legs of all furniture i.e: tables, chairs etc that will be
in contact with the bamboo flooring are strongly recommended. It
is the customer's responsibility to acclimatise the flooring correctly
before it is laid.
Floor
layers and floor laying companies are responsible for their own
guarantee of workmanship. This is to be arranged between the customer
and the floor laying company.
Bamboo
outdoor decking is not covered by the warranty once it has been
laid. Any faulty boards will be replaced before they are laid if
they are returned to Bamboo Flooring Direct for inspection.
The decision to replace or refund remains at the sole discretion
of the manufacturer.
Failure
to settle any invoice in full within 30 days of delivery invalidates
the warranty.
The
warranty is not transferable.
