• Lifetime Structural Integrity Warranty

• 25 Year Finish and Wear Warranty

 

These warranties, which begin from the date of purchase, apply to products used in dry residential applications. Lifetime warranties apply for as long as the original purchaser owns and resides in the home where the product was installed.

 

What Elginfloors' Limited Warranty covers:

 

Finish and Wear Warranty - Elginfloors warrants to the original purchaser that its finish surface will not peel off or wear through for the indicated period of time, from the date of purchase.

 

Lifetime Structural Integrity Warranty - Elginfloors warrants these engineered hardwood products in their original manufactured conditions to be free from defect in material and workmanship including assembly dimension and grading.

What you should do if any of the above listed problems occur and you need warranty service:

 

You (the original retail customer) should notify the authorized Elginfloors dealer from which the original purchase was made of any defect no later than 30 days after discovering the defect but within the time period of the applicable limited  warranty.
